E.T. on steroids

My attempt to see this movie finally comes to an end, and I have to say it worth the wait. Attack of the Block is a film that I will call: "E.T. on steroids" Why is that?

First to all to create a proper connection we have to say that have similar elements. A first encounter with someone from other space, kids, bicycles and chasing.
On the other hand there is nothing sweet about Attack of the block or the aliens who decide to take this place. Of course we don't know their intention.
What do you discover is powerful characters that have great personality, their own way of talking and behave. The is no rocket science about this movie.

You are not expecting a message or simply get a powerful message. Some critics call this film the District 9 of 2011, I tend not agree on that. Yes is another invasion instead of Los Angeles or NY is a sort of ghetto in London. The film is funny, entertaining and scary.
