Looks really good, and is probably my most anticipated movie this summer! Nice to see something new and different compared to all the sequels and remakes coming out.

I am really interested in this film!! It kind of snuck up on us out of nowhere and hasn't had a lot of press.

Erick H. · 05-16-2009, 07:37 AM

Looks like I'll have to check this one out.

aoiookami · 05-16-2009, 04:15 PM

Definitely interested, I really like the angle its taking on the usual invasion story. Definitely going to check it out.

Looks decent. I doubt I'll see it in theaters but I'd quite possibly pick it up on DVD if the rest of the film is a good as the trailer.

Shannafey · 05-25-2009, 02:26 PM

They had the trailer on the head of Terminator. For some reason, the one I watched online blocked out the alien face and it wasn't blocked on the theatrical trailer. I thought that it was supposed to be that way. It really looks cool, but I will most probably watch it on DVD, not in the theatre.

No trailer where I saw Terminator. Sounds good, though.

I've seen both trailers, the one with the unblocked face has the alien's speech subtitled too. My take on it is with the mosaic/ un-subtitled version the aliens seem like the hostiles, as we dont know what the alien looks like (playing into fear of the unknown) and dont know what it says in response to 'Why dont you leave?' and 'How do your weapons work?'
While the un-mosaiced / subtitled version humans are the hostiles because we see what the alien looks like, and it isnt very terrifying, and can understand it's responses to the questions as 'We cant leave because you have our ship' and 'We mean you no harm'
I think it was a really interesting idea for the trailers.. Or maybe I'm just looking into it too much.

I saw a trailer for this when my son and I went to see Transformers 2 (fun popcorn action flick but was about an hour too long). Anyways I thought this looked really interesting- It definitely had me interested in seeing it

That new trailer has boosted my interest in this film 10 fold. I really like the idea and portrayal of this film, it's kinda like Alien Nation meets summer blockbuster (but actually seems to have a brain, unlike the generic blockbuster).

baggio · 07-09-2009, 02:34 PM

Same here. The new trailer peaks my interest more.

But something about the vague first trailer still had me wanting to see the film. Imagine if that was the only trailer to the film. That would be great. Wonder if anybody has the guts to pull that marketing move off. Show very little in a trailer & let the audience be surprised.

Wow, excellent trailer. I'll be giving this a shot in theaters barring an onslaught of negative reviews.
