I was expecting a generic alien invasion movie, and I was pleasantly surprised

The aliens reminded me of the Tralfamadorians from Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.

That was a mouthful. Is it worth a watch?

It's a book. Then again I don't watch much tv, so who knows, it may have been adapted by now. The book is worth reading though, it's very good.

There's a film of it, but I've only ever read the book. It is a really good book by a WWII veteran who really gets a lot of points about the war and what happened across.

Ah okay! I'll add it to my ever growing list haha.

I too have an ever growing list. if you've never read Vonnegut before, he is really worth moving up the list.
