im guessing that the bluray and dvd will come out in Jan/Feb
 
Will definately be catching this again tomorrow, I have been dying to see it again since last Wednesday, i'm sure it will stand up to repeat viewings.
 
saw this last wednesday and thought it was terrible.

first part where it was setting things up and doing it documetry style was brillaint, loved that. if they done the entire movie like that it would have been good but it wouldn't have fitted with the plot but anyhow...

after he got sprayed with the stuff it became horribly predictable and dull. having not seen a single trailer for this and only hearing how it's the most amazingly origonal movie ever i'm pretty sure i'm not suppose to be able to call 2/3rds of the film after the first 20 mins...

just don't get whats so amazing about things i've seen done better on low budget tv shows. sure the starting idea of aliens in the slums was a good one but then thats just another idea from somewhere else again...so...screw it...

3/10 purely for the design of the aliens and decent cgi

^I'm with you Omid, dont see how anyone could call this movie terrible, but, we all have our opinions, i'll be going to see this again today myself.
 
I think he meant to write that it was a good movie and that he gives it an 8 out of 10.:awesome:

I just wanted to use that stupid smilely.
 
i dont see a problem with hes post. he is not insulting and he didnt writte the cliche SHH post '' worst movie ever''.
i like the movie he doesnt.

There isn't a problem with me, I'm just teasing em.:yay:

I dont have a problem with him not liking it, and he posted his opinion in a good way, I was just saying from a personal point of view, this is one of those movies were I dont see how it can be called terrible.
 
maybe terrible was the wrong word to use, since that suggests everything abotu it is bad. there was good acting, good cgi as i said, it was well shot etc. but it was nothing special and for me nothing like the hype built it up to be
 
^^^ well if you look at the other summer movies that came out what else was good?

Box Office Update
Domestic: $109,113,161
Foreign: $14,336,708
Worldwide: $123,449,869
 
well that came out in March so it doesnt really count
 
Watched it and loved it. I'm far too lazy to be writing a review, especially when it'll be very similar to previous ones. You could really tell they'd been prepping Halo though - the guns and stuff, also the mech he fought in at the end looked especially like one of the big aliens out of Halo.

much better review :woot:, i just thought you meant everything was terrible in D9, but thx for clearing it up

Fair enough, that seems more accurate :woot:. It just goes to show certain movies arent for everyone.

out of the 4 movies i've seen this year watchmen is the clear winner.

I do agree that Watchmen was astonishing.
 
^I think I am one of the few who was really disappointed with watchmen. Not that it was a bad film, it had its moments, but Moore was right...Watchmen is better as a book.

For me the most pleasant surprise this year was Drag Me to Hell, I expected that to suck hard...but it was pretty good. Star Trek too, but that was because I didn't see Trailer 3 (best.trailer.of.the.year) until like 2 weeks until its release, had I seen that trailer earlier I wouldve been just as excited as everyone else
 
Ah, that ST trailer was fantastic. That music used in it was great. It really told the whole story in music. You can just listen to that and get the film.
 
^It really is one of the best trailers I've seen in my life. And I agree with you on the music, Freedom fighters...I listen to that on youtube every now and then. Its just that awesome. I wish it was actually in the movie...or that two steps from hell made the score.

I wish most of the music that plays in trailers were in the actual movies. That's one of things that made The Dark Knight trailer so ****ing awesome.
