Molly Freeman is the lead news editor of Screen Rant and one of Screen Rant’s Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer-approved movie critics. Save Yourselves! is not a classic alien invasion flick, but the quirky comedy will find its fair share of fans. Still, those won over by Mani and Reynolds' characters will find plenty to love in Save Yourselves! - though, conversely, Su and Jack may come off as more insufferable than charming to some viewers, and those folks will be hard-pressed to find anything redeemable in the film. The movie is frustratingly light on alien and sci-fi world-building, which may disappoint viewers looking for a more typical science fiction flick. Instead, Save Yourselves! uses that premise to explore the dynamic of Su and Jack, which makes it a much slower, more character-driven movie, with some funny moments.Īs a result, those more interested by the premise of Save Yourselves! may want to give the movie a shot, but perhaps not if the only compelling aspect are the aliens. This may be disappointing for anyone looking for a fun sci-fi movie, since it doesn't really spend much time with the sci-fi elements of its premise. It's more of a dramedy about one couple's relationship, set against the backdrop of an alien invasion.
In the end, Save Yourselves! is a refreshingly different take on the alien invasion story, but that may be down to the movie not really being an alien invasion story.
