It was alright, a 7 out of 10 for me. Plot holes? There were many of them.

How come they couldn't have found their "fuel" amongst the many items they had in their ship, Christopher clearly explained that human technology was unable to provide the fuel they needed and this same fuel that was used to fuel their ship also turns Wikus the Dickus into a prawn.

Not to mention the aliens clearly have advanced technology with the capability to kill us off. And why are Nigerians allowed to sell cat food to these aliens with the intent of getting their weaponry, wouldnt MNU do something about it since they want those weapons for themselves?

And worst of all, why the hell would you put our treatment and diplomacy in the hands of a corporation instead of a worldwide consortium of countries. This is not what would have happened in real life and when the movies whole premise is to go for the documentary feel in order to give it a realistic feel, it boggles the mind why it would happen.
