This movie got a lot of grief, but I liked it. It was simultaneously a let down and scary to see the alien. As far as aliens go, it’s a pretty boring generic biped. But the suspense and buildup to seeing it, and the way they presented the scene as the viewer seeing it recorded alongside terrified people was great. Nailed it.
Maybe the worst aspect of the movie was the beyond-the-grave prompts regarding water and baseball bats. Meh. But the rest was pretty good.
I tend to be the kind of person that needs a movie to stick the landing, but for some reason I still enjoy this movie even though the ending really is stupid (and makes the whole movie stupid).
I think the movie did a great job of making this alien invasion feel real. Not like shaky cam style real. But the way catastrophes happen in real life. Where it starts as nothing, then is something that can and often is ignored, until eventually you can’t ignore it.

The aliens are actually demons. Make more sense now?
Hydrophobic demons.
Invading very wet plane of existence.
If they were aliens however, they only had tech to suspend their spacecraft in the air, judging from how unsuspended my disbelief was.
Demons are often defeated with water. Some can’t cross running water. It’s an ancient trope.
“I’m not ready”
Yes, the entire movie got retroactively bad because of that really atrocious ending.
If you watch half of it and then stop, it’s probably a good movie. But that first half is bad if you know the ending.

If you see it as a movie about demons and not aliens it makes way more sense
