Paul is honestly a masterpiece and a half. The movie's got a brilliant plot, it's pretty much about these two UK comic book nerds, who are called Graeme (Simon Pegg) and Clive (Nick Frost) and they're both taking a road trip to Area 51, that's when they meet an Alien called Paul (Seth Rogen).

We later get introduced to the villains throughout this movie, who are these federal agents who are wanting to capture Paul.

So, the two comic book nerds have got to find a way to get Paul back to his spaceship before it's too late.

The actors/actress are all brilliant throughout this movie and they're all really good with their dialogue throughout this movie, non of their dialogue feels forced in any sort of way, it all sounds natural and it's really good.

Also, the comedy throughout this movie works very well and it didn't fail in any sort of way, which I thought was very good.

The movie's cinematographer Lawrence Sher does an amazing job with the cinematography for this movie. He captures the moments very well, especially the action sequences.

Finally, the pacing for this movie is actually pretty good and it doesn't feel too fast or too slow, it honestly works very well on building up to certain moments throughout this movie.

The movie's even got a great soundtrack with many great songs from some really good musical artists, such as Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Electric Light Orchestra and many more.

Overall, Paul is honestly an amazing Sc-Fi/Comedy movie. It's got a brilliant plot, brilliant cast, very good dialogue, lots of funny moments, a great soundtrack, some great pacing and some amazing cinematography.

I'd honestly recommend Paul to anyone who's a big nerd, who enjoys geeky movie's like me and who's after a good laugh, it's worth the watch.
