We found the movie fresh and fairly unpredictable, with some clear satirical references to race relations, reality TV and social networks, wealth disparity, and the fate of indigenous people.
The acting was fine, nothing cringe-worthy. At times, it felt like the director was the main actor's mom -- look at my boy, he's so pretty! But otherwise it was fine.
We really liked the aliens, who avoid most of the tropes of the genre. No humanoids with brow ridges here!
The special effects were well done, no problem with suspension of disbelief.
There is no real conclusion, and the future is frankly bleak, but the human spirit lives on (we hope?).
Worth watching simply because it touches on topics that most sci-fi is usually reluctant to even allude to.
