SciFi doesn´t always have to be epic battles, space ships and ray guns. In fact, Science Fiction is often better when it has a meaning. I´m not saying this is an epic piece of filmmaking but it´s hardly a wash-up or waste of time. I think it´s an ok movie that actually could even been better had they focused more on the conflicts of the characters.

What!?! I liked it. Should I not have done that?

I'm not by any means a fan of Stephenie Meyer's work, but I did enjoy her book "The Host". I know that film adaptations often aren't as good as the original source (even great films like "A Clockwork Orange", "Trainspotting" or "The Lord of The Rings"), but this one in particular, as a person who liked the book, turned out as a very disappointing movie.

I was willing to overlook so many of the horrible things they did in this movie. Like the way they handled the Wanda/Melanie situation, or the relationships between, well, any of the characters. Or the characters they wrote out. Or the seeker. But then came the final ten minutes, and they just.. HOW COULD YOU? I didn't even like the book that much, but to screw it up this much? Wow. Definitely recommend as a drinking game movie, though.

I do not understand why so many people hate this movie. Sure its not an action movie, it's more a love story. But I found it to be an interesting mix of scifi and love. I have enjoyed it a lot. And Saoirse Ronan is a truely remarkable actress.
