One of the best, if not the best, sci-fi movie in my opinion. A mix of Cloverfield, Independence Day and Transformers. Who thought you could politicise aliens? I certainly didn’t. South Africa wasn't an accidental coincidence for the set of the film, but infact a brilliant setting reflecting the core of the movie plot. The years of apartheid, captivity and poverty are beautifully intertwined into an alien situation. Notice how it took the leading alien in the ripped red-shirt 20 years of confinement to escape the racial segregation and free his people (other aliens), reminded me of Nelson Mandela. Other Alien movies lead us to believe that aliens are a more superior creature and most often destructive. This film put this trend on its head and came out spectacular. I can’t wait for the sequel!

This is my first post and I felt compelled to write this. Why is everyone getting aggitated or childish? The same people who are accusing others of belittling them are using their own belittling phrases. Being from Mogadishu and having read the first post, which should set the tone for the rest of the thread, I did not feel provoked in any way and I cannot see how it can be construed as a provocative post. Furthermore, Why can't I celebrate Puntland's success? I'm happy for them, I'm happy for myself. Puntland is part of Somalia, and as long as it remains part of Somalia, its part of my country and therefore its success is mine. Why get emotionally constipated? I really don't understand it. So-called Somaliland is a seccesionist state that has been build on a superiority complex and its success does agitate me. I wish it didn't, but I'm only human. Had they attained independence through democracy and through voting I wouldn't feel this animosity. But puntland is not seeking independence, its seeking economic progress. People on this thread need to take a deep breathe and look at things objectively. If you watched the video you'd know it was about a new telecommunications company in Puntland that provides wire-less internet, not sure, but in any case, this will only benefit the whole of Somalia in the future when there is national peace and stability. Even in the event that you somehow felt provoked by the original thread as it (in my opinion editorially and jokingly) defined horumar as Puntland's current success. Take a moment to think. Don’t let emotions cloud your judgement. You'll realise that the former Somalia (which includes the current Puntland) has achieved far more than the set-up of a telecommunications company. And you'll realise that obviously (from a friendly competitive feeling) Mogadishu cannot compete with any progress, even the construction of the first portable toilet in Puntland. Please guys, by Somali standards we are all intellectuals so act like it. Control your emotions and be mature. We are all one nation, one country. Peace and love.
