Saoirse Ronan stars in this slow-paced Science Fiction Romance film as a Human named Melanie who is sharing her body with an alien life form named Wanderer who, along with others of its kind, are part of an invasion of Earth where they experience our existence. The two join forces to save those they love while evading the conquering "Souls"/"Seekers" as well as trying to find allies among the few free humans left. Poor Saorise attempts to carry the show, but even her sweet charm just isn't enough to buoy the thin script and wooden acting surrounding her.

Continuity mistake: After discovering Wanderer, Uncle Jeb quickly points his shotgun at Kyle as Kyle is about to decapitate Wanderer. As it cuts to a close up of Uncle Jeb, the shadows of the tree are suddenly on his chest, whereas they were not in the previous shot. (00:32:15)

Question: What happens to Melanie's dog that is shown in flashback of her skateboarding with it at the beginning of the movie? She (as an alien) and her hidden family never speak of it at all the whole film.
