Extraterrestrial is a comedy dropped agreeably into an alien invasion - well, maybe not invasion. The spaceship just sits there.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Results are offbeat and amusing, but also a bit thin as the whole essentially amounts to one long shaggy-dog joke.
Extraterrestrial can be forgiven the tangents into melodrama due to Vigalondo's seamless ability to navigate those soapy waters.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Alien invasion is just an excuse for romantic farce in Extraterrestrial, a tiresome roundelay of lies, lust and leaping paranoia.
New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier
Quirky, but infinitely more interesting than big-budget Hollywood cousins.
Austin Chronicle by Marjorie Baumgarten
On the whole, Extraterrestrial is slight, filled with lots of bark but little bite.
There's a solid framework in place here for a fun, original twist on a conventional science-fiction premise, but aside from the occasional quirky touch - Vigalondo fails to fill that frame with a picture worthy of it.
