Tonight episode of G4's Attack of the Show showed it exclusively though! It looks awesome!

It could be cool. Has a bad release date, but I like the whole cast so Im in

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Like some people say in regards to the large amount of comic movies coming, I'm getting burnt out on these alien movies. Short of Prometheus, I'm done with alien movies for a while. There was District 9 which was good, and Battle LA which was decent, there's Speilberg's Falling Skies show, theres Battleship coming out, theres this, and I'm sure I'm missing many, but its getting to be an overload.

trailer looks good i like the invisible energy approach of aliens

 

[rashad]

Yeah it's something unique.

[MadVillainy]

Yeah it looks pretty sick. But as I said the release date is pretty bad

I hope this puts Emile Hirsch back in more leading roles.

I would rather jar invisible aliens than the usual brown reptilian/bug with ling limbs that we have been getting.

 

[Crockett]

Yep, the look on the aliens is refreshing so that's one thing that's good about this. Not a bad cast either. Kinnaman is in this, excellent and he looks like he does in Snabba Cash haha. The trailer got me interested enough to see where this is going, hopefully it turns out well, even though I'm iffy on the release date.

 

[MadVillainy]

I have a feeling Joel Kinnaman will be the first to die

 

[bullets]

It reminds me of the alien in Forbidden Planet .

I'll definitely be seeing this though

 

[nightwing06]

Some interesting ideas added to the whole ALIEN INVASION genre
I laughed at the homemade alien buster guns.

After Super 8 and Cowboys & Aliens this summer, I have to say I'm really sick of aliens that look like variations of the Cloverfield monster. I'm quite excited for this movie.

[Wolfwood]

Pretty sick, I love the way the aliens just vaporize people.

 

[kickass]

Looks a lot cooler than I initially thought.

 

[Donut]

An alien invasion movie opening on Christmas Day is a funny combination. But I will see it

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah I like that this has taken a unique angle on the aliens instead of the stuff we are used too, although they do act a bit like the ones in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. But with Bekmembatov involved this will be a little different which I am looking forward too.

[redhawk23]

I've got tickets to this for the 21st. I'll be sure to leave my thoughts here.

 

[Tron wolfgang]

I really want to like this movie, i admit that it has a very interesting concept and i love alien invasion films but everytime i see tv spot all i can think of is they are trying to look like a epic mass invasion action film but at the same time it feels very hollow, its hard to explain. meh

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Killing a dog in your TV spots seems kind of cheap and exploitative to me.

 

[Kane52630]

I feel like I should check it out in theaters but i'll wait for the blu ray.

 

[craigdbfan]

Eh this movie looks pretty awful. I feel bad for Speed Racer.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

I never thought the preview looked the greatest.

You'd hope at the very least the 3D would be decent.

 

[gkokujin]

so um...why are there NO reviews on the web whatso ever?

except for fangoria?
