Actually, it might not be a bad movie.

Two of the most special aliens appear in the movie. One is the wanderer wonder, and the other is the explorer, the villain.
Most interestingly, the rovers that turned against each other became more and more human-like.
And the explorers who have been chasing and killing humans are more human than rovers.
One understands love and forgiveness, the other understands desire and war.
It may be better if the director can leave more ink on the collision of these two aliens' minds.
The romance can really be a little less. I don’t know how heartbroken I was when the male lead slapped the female lead. Fortunately, the female lead slapped back later, and it was even.
The setting of aliens and humans in the movie reminds me of the Great Flood in the Bible, as if it was a disaster from heaven, and a kind new species replaced the greedy and depraved human beings. The remnants are inside the volcano, like the spark on Noah's Ark. But at the moment when the heroine borrowed the car, I kind of hoped that humans would really not come back.
Originally such a story, good subject matter, good connotation and poor performance should be given three stars, but Max Irons's appearance perfectly fits all my inner standards, so I must add one star. My god, it really looks like the British version of Wilber Pan! How can it be so similar! ! ! Love his nose and lips so much! ! Crispy! !

The Host quotes

  • [first lines]

    Jeb: The earth is at peace. There is no hunger. There is no violence. The environment is healed. Honesty, courtesy and kindness are practiced by all. Our world has never been more... perfect. Only, it is no longer our world. We've been invaded by an alien race. They occupy the bodies of almost all human beings on the planet. The few humans who have survived are on the run.

  • Jared Howe: What the hell has gotten into everybody? Huh? It is the enemy. Don't forget it.

    Ian O'Shea: You don't feel bad at all. I half-killed her.

    Jared Howe: It doesn't matter. It's not human.

    Ian O'Shea: So we stop acting human?
