Awesome movie!
One of the best ive seen in a long time. Wanna go see it again!
About sums up my feelings too, just seen it and thoroughly enjoyed it!
God you sound dull. It's a movie dude...doesn't all have to make sense!
thought he was awesome
Me being Afrikaans speaking, I find it funny how many people are No swearing!! on the OcUK forums
Some people just don't get films like this
Films like what? Please explain.
I found the film interesting but it just seems to have been hyped up and I found the actual film pretty flat. I understand the basics of this film and the background of the country this is set in and the director. The social interaction of humans and "aliens" the history of that countries apartheid is quite obvious. I also liked how it dealt with the aliens rather than them being the common acid spitting, invasion fleet, blow up the whitehouse bs. I liked the idea of the film rather than the actual film itself, things just seemed too obvious in the scriptwriting/direction.
Fantastic approach to an already overdone alien species arrives on earth plot.
Loved it, will definitely be getting that on Blu-ray when it comes out.
CGI Awesome
Great comedic moments
Not too heavy a plot
Ending left wide open for a sequel... 3 years

Well you know what the sequel will be called... but someone already has d-10.com for the last 4 years so it's not likely to be called D-10.. but expires in 2 days time (9-9-09) so keep your eyes pealed for sony on the domain registration (as it is for d-9.com).
Flat? I found it intense, it just wouldnt stop the whole time. (funny how opinions differ.)

Hyped up? I hadn't heard of it until the day I went to see it.
In fairness the viral campaign was huge. You're obviously just not geeky enough
There were "No Non-Human Loitering" posters up in cities all over the world (LA, SF, NY, London), and fake blogs from MNU employees linked from loads of geek-esque sites that you could read the entries of, even an alien had a blog where he complained about the MNU. They had "human only" toilets at conventions and stuff too. The MNU website had working phonenumbers that when called would spiel off loads of stuff about Alien behaviour and you could leave messages and shizz. Was pretty well thought out, actually.I watched this last night, have to say, I had heard nothing about it, only seen the trailers....
WOW, what a good film
A few minutes in, and I thought it was going to be a remake of Alien Nation... thankfully, it was better and even part way through, it had me suspecting a battle between "them & us", but actually turned out differently, was well worth watching.
Looking forward to a sequel....

I actually preferred this suit's UI and graphics over other films that have dne similar (Ironman) it just felt way more real!
