Yea, that was hilarious indeed :haha: That's one of the best things about the movie. The humor wasn't forced whatsoever. You really had to pay close attention to find the humor during the course of the film. |

| Coolest movie I have ever seen. It evolves from what seems to be a documentary into one of the craziest sci-fi stories ever made. Awesome special effects also. |

| ^Yea! The documentary for me seemed a little bit forced in the first half of the film, but it eventually got better. |

**** spoilers ahead ****
excellent film, 9.5/10 for me.
now without reading any reviews, here is my long shot theory.
if you noticed the scene towards the end where christopher is flying away and the camera pans to christopher's eyes, then pans to wikus' eyes, you can see a resemblance in their eyes that isn't seen on any of the other aliens. there is a pink, skin-like area around the yellow eyes and it is visible for about 5 seconds on christopher's eyes and longer around wikus' alien/left eye.
based on this, i think that christopher is also a human converted into alien. i really don't think they would've done the scene this way if they weren't trying to show that christopher was previously a human and converted into an alien by some unknown/similar reason. when he says "i need to save my people", he is most likely talking about saving the earth since i doubt aliens would be calling each other 'people'.
i believe that the fluid had multiple purposes, beyond reconverting wikus into a human and giving the small ship the power to fly away. i think it might have been able to convert christopher back into human. this raises the question of whether or not christopher was lying to wikus in order to save himself.
complications of my theory: why would christopher help the other alien develop the fluid in the first place? is his child one of the synthetic aliens or also converted? how does my semi-crazy theory relate to apartheid?
of course much of it will be revealed in the second film (i'm highly certain there will be one), but if anyone wishes to discuss this in either PM or in this thread, please do because i thought about this the entire drive home and while writing this post. :crazy: |

^Wow, never noticed the eye thing. This is definitely a movie to see twice.
What year was the present time? When I first saw a video camera taping the Mothership above, it said 1982. And they kept talking about twenty years later. It would result to 2002, but is that the present time period? |
