PRE-ORDER @AMAZON

An amazing achievement for a ‘first-time’ filmmaker, which measures up to the finest indies for performance and character-work, and the biggest blockbusters for jaw-dropping effects. And it has the year’s best sex scene, too. – EMPIRE

British director Gareth Edwards’ neat spin on alien invasion sci-fi movies might just be the debut of the year. – THE MIRROR

This terrifically exciting sci-fi movie from smart young British film-maker Gareth Edwards is a case in point. His digitally created beasts, and the exotically wrecked landscape they inhabit, seem to have been created from a kind of social-realist grime. – THE GUARDIAN

Here, there be monsters...

The atmosphere of menace is skilfully conveyed, and the climax is a mini-triumph. – DAILY MAIL

Edwards’ film has a scope and ambition that’s exhilarating, an invention that would have even The Terminator-era Cameron taking notes. – DEN OF GEEK

Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation meets Steven Spielberg’s remake of War of the Worllds – SCREEN RANT

Visually and sonically, his film should be the envy of shoestring guerrilla filmmakers the world over. - THE TELEGRAPH

A love story with gigantic glowing octopi in the background. – SHOCKYA

…Incredibly moving, sensual even – and it’s not often you can say that about a movie concerning extraterrestrial squid – NME
