This Norwegian sci-fi/comedy finds a remote community facing alien takeover/infiltration, with a visiting city-boy bachelor party finding themselves fighting for their own survival and that of humanity as well. The film's tone and style is very reminiscent of the Cornetto trilogy (especially The World's End in the third act) and early Peter Jackson, but the comedy is very broad and many sequences feel quite routine in delivery. Well-made, silly and childish by turns, the cast nevertheless tries hard to inject life into the film at every opportunity, a couple of comedy moments land really well, and the lead pair of estranged former-teenage laser-tag champions are quite likeable, but overall the material and the comedy feel a bit stretched over the near-two-hour running time.
