Ayalaan

Everyone's talking about ET and Koi Mil Gaya as obvious sources of inspiration, but my best guess is .. writer-director R Ravi Kumar watched Greg Mottola's Paul (2011) at some point and thought Tamizhify-ing it would be a good idea. Considering the film has been in production hell for years, I'm glad at least the visual effects do not disappoint. PhantomFX does a pretty solid job, and it's indeed their hard work that sustains the film's watchability factor. I'll also give part of that credit to Siddharth, who voices Tattoo the cute alien.

But I wish the writing ingenuity that I witnessed in Ravi Kumar's Indru Netru Naalai was present here too. The screenplay is inconsolably generic, and even kids would find the plot developments overstuffed and the feeble attempts at humor quite lackluster. Sivakarthikeyan does alright in a role that only tries to milk the middle-class guy-next-door perception he has, while the usually funny sidekicks (Yogi Babu, Karunakaran) are not as fun this time around. The antagonists are one-note too, and a returning (femme fatale) Isha Koppikar is way more interesting than Sharad Kelkar here. Oh, Rakul Preet Singh is in there somewhere too, I almost forgot! Also, this is probably the most forgettable soundtrack that ARR has composed in recent memory.

I watched the movie with high hopes but in the end it disappointed me.

It would be great if there was an animation movie with this story, but a sci-fi movie doesn't go well with this story. I think this movie is inspired by Hollywood movies but there is none of what is meant by sci-fi movies in this movie. This story makes no sense. You can say it is an updated version of Shankar's 2.0.

The first half was good but the second half was poor

The characters in the movie are not used properly but everyone acted very well especially the vfx,art work,cinematography was excellent music was also good.

I can clearly say this film is good. Announced on 2016 and started shooting on 2018 and packed up on 2019. Afterwards spend most of the time on post production cause they faced a lot trouble on financial. And my main concern is about the budget, if you notice the vfx and the budget - it won't suit up. Cause the animation looks more cartoonish - Compared to that animation level. Cause there's no proper retro scoping, the hands of human being while touching alien won't mark up properly, the boot of alien looks more bigger than the alien, no proper timed motion blur, green screen isn't merged with colour grading and many mistakes. And they needed to work on story more.

Ayalaan- Quirky and witty sci fi movie with a great pinch of message for humans to protect and safeguard the earth.

Director Ravi Kumar has shown this simple story with alien and humans confrontation, but taken with a good comic timing.

Siva Karthikeyan is gifted with picking good stories, and he has effortlessly carried forward his magic. Yogi babu and others are hilarious with their comedy.

This movie is a whole hearted kids and family entertainer with a strong message for humans towards Mother Nature.

Go for it and enjoy this sci-fi comedy that has a good meaning to protect earth as it is in our hands.

One of the standout elements of Ayalaan is the impressive CGI work done on the alien character. The expressions and emotions portrayed on the alien's face are truly captivating, adding depth to its character...

While Ayalaan may not be SK's best work, it certainly succeeds in delivering an entertaining experience. The film manages to keep the audience engaged throughout, thanks to its engaging plot and well-executed visuals. It is undoubtedly a treat for both young and old alike, making it a great choice for a family outing...

Many compromises from the director for commercialization of the movie which let him down...The director's visual storytelling shines, creating awe-inspiring scenes that transport viewers to alien landscapes. The cinematography seamlessly blends practical effects with CGI, enhancing the overall immersive experience...Ar rahmans bgm elevates the movie to a new level while the songs ain't catchy except MAANJA NEE

Overall, it is a pretty fun and adventurous film to watch especially 2k kids...
