Nope! Thankfully, these carnivorous dinos are thoughtful creatures who recognize our lead aliens as unique, otherworldly prey requiring some aloof study prior to killing and eating them. You might think that dinosaurs living in the wild would be… well, wild and that the carnivorous ones would immediately devour a hapless and much smaller human. The dinosaurs have an amazing sense of dramatic timing

In fact, I’m pretty sure they say Earth is uncharted and uninhabited.

Did they seed life on Earth four billion years ago and somehow their planet was so similar to Earth that actual literal humans evolved separately on both planets? The movie doesn’t mention it or care at all about that one. No explanation is given as to why and how they would share DNA with life on Earth.

Nope! Turns out these aliens are, as far as we can tell, actually humans whose bodies react as though they are used to the environment on Earth. But, it’d make sense that maybe their biology would be significantly different, the viruses and bacteria they evolved with are different, even if they are humanoid in form. I mean, of course not, the trailer makes that clear as well. You might think the aliens would need to wear spacesuits and protect themselves from foreign pathogens and an alien atmosphere. By the end of the movie they literally have mere seconds to avoid the enormous dinosaur-killing meteor. The meteor is going to impact on their exact location. After the crash, the two survivors must reach the escape craft (which landed 15 km away) before the meteor annihilates the planet. Some debris from the incoming asteroid collides with their ship and causes them to crash land on what the audience knows to be Earth. Nope! The aliens were just on their way somewhere else for some reason. But it’d kind of make sense that an advanced space faring civilization of aliens might want to scientifically observe dinosaurs and also study an enormous meteorite impact. I mean, of course not, the trailer makes that clear. You might even think maybe they planned it. Later in the film we learn that his daughter died while he was on the voyage and Adam Driver’s character knows this because he received video messages from his family. I suppose it’s not important for the story, but it did leave me wondering about the larger world they lived in. I honestly don’t recall if it was ever explained what the cargo was. Glad to see an advanced space faring alien civilization struggles with healthcare too.Īnyway, he does this and ends up transporting six people and some stuff from one planet back to the planet he originated on. It is revealed almost immediately that his daughter has some kind of illness and if he takes a job where he captains a spaceship on a two year voyage then he will earn enough money to pay for his daughter’s treatment.

The movie opens on an alien world’s beach where handsome Adam Driver is an alien human husband who has a beautiful alien human wife and young alien human daughter. Those are the only good things I have to say, but I’ll try to be positive… The aliens have a beautiful beach And the movie mostly kept my attention, although I wouldn’t say I was engrossed. Before I get into my criticisms, I thought the actors both did a great job of acting. Don’t look up?Īnd these aliens probably look pretty alien, right? Maybe tentacles or giant eyes and small gray bodies… Actually they are just humans. Actually, we can be even more exact: it appears they crash land precisely as the famous dinosaur-killing asteroid is about to strike Earth.

How long ago, you ask? 65 million years ago to be exact. It is a sci-fi movie that posits aliens crash landed on Earth a long time ago. Spoiler alert: this review has spoilers throughout!Ħ5 is rated PG-13 and stars Adam Driver ( House of Gucci) and Ariana Greenblatt (Avengers: Infinity War).
