This is looking like the cats pyjamas. Also Angel from Dexter is in it
That shot of the people getting abducted is terrifying, great sound design. Wonder if there'll be a 3D version?

Doesn't really matter though because the meat and potatoes of this course will be the special FX either way. That much was made perfectly clear.
looks alright, bunch of tv actors and a war of the worlds lookin plot from what I gathered, but who knows could be neato.
~ And not just ANY scrubs. Black scrubs
I thought this already came out 14 years ago??
:P
When you say Scrubs I think of JD instead of Turk
Also milo from 24 is in there!
Anyway the movie looks very generic to me.
Yeah, apparently that's the case for most people. Which is interesting, cause for me and my friends, we always called that guy Scrubs, and the other guy White Scrubs.
I'm with gsokol on this...
But hawt damn I really want some skyline chili right about now... now to figure out the best way to order some online and have it shipped across the country.
Haha true I guess!

We'll see how well effects artists can carry a movie, doesn't look like they have a lot of costs to recover.
If I am not mistaken by how I read your statement that is what 300 did. A few foreground elements were created and everything else was CG and 300 was awesome.
Have you ever seen transformers? A movie dosnt have to be good to make a shit ton of money.
Looks crap though.
Haha, damn it Anthony I thought we were agreeing on something for once.
Oh I meant 300 was awesome, I love 300, fantastic movie all around. And transformers dose have great effects. You were saying it will be interesting too see how well effects artists can carry a movie and in my opinion they carried Transformers, especially 2.
Spoiler:
If anyone knows about Total Biscuit and his live podcast, he too said it was horrible.

A) It's like they remade some aliens tv show from the 50's.
C) I feel like they were trying mash together Independence Day, Crysis, District 9, and Gears of War. Which could have been cool if the story had the character's doing something
This was a bit of a bait and switch situation. The very first trailers for this movie looked incredible. But they didn't feature any of the actors in those, just the special effects shots. They were also understated, and built tension.
Once they started releasing trailers with actors and acting in them, everything fell apart, and the awfulness of the film became apparent.
First off. If there is an Alien invasion you do not go to the 20th floor and hide. You got to the basement, and lock yourself in until someone finds you or the stuff is over. You do not go to the garage to get your fansy car out and drive off with your sexy assistant, which'll get you killed.
Second off all. Do not interfere with Army people as they are being punted by the Aliens regardless, they dont want to get punted while listening to your nag.
Thirdly. Do not attempt to escape the place to go to the beach. (why the hell would anyone wanna go to the beach if the war is declared)....:S
Fourthly. Do not ask anyone to stop smoking or quit smoking since he may be having his /her last cigarette of his/her life.
Fifthly. Do not go to the roof to find out what just happened if you have a damn balcony facing the same direction. o.o
I fell a sleep after counting these out since the movie bored me to death. When I wokeup it was the ending and the preg lady was still alive. and I was like..Damn!
Seriously who ever wrote the storyline should be pissed on by the CG aritsts and concept artists, then get shot 2ice. First time for wasting the entire effort ( regardless of being paid for it) Second time for putting up with him and his storyline.
According to imdb this is the writers' first job. They used to be visual effects guys. Also the comments you've made(I haven't seen the movie) reminds me a lot of AvP2. That movie had it's share of really stupid moments too that didn't really make sense.
Funny AvP2 was directed by the same people. I've avoided this movie, looks like the CG is nice too, but not enough for me to spend 10 bucks
Sorry sir, I shouldnt've been ticked off and write the spoiler like this.
I thought it went to the 3rd page quickly so everyone've watched it.
Kinda having this type incidents 2ice in a day.
Apologeeze again.
Given the paddling everyone is giving the movie, I don't think it's necessary to apologize for spoilers. You have to call spoiler alert when referring to a movie that everyone wants to see, and doesn't want to have spoiled. When the movie is universally reviled, you're probably doing everyone a favor by posting spoilers. Now we'll know what happens in the movie without having to go see it ourselves.
It's more of a community service for a film like this, no offense taken.
But yeah, I know it's the same guys that made AvP2, hence the comment regarding AvP2. What's amazing to me is that this is one high budget movie and these writers managed to get the job without any experience. I'm guessing they were friends of the directors or something like that. It's like Kevin Smith said; "In Hollywood you kind of fail upwards".
Sad but true, District 9 was good I thought the whole idea was at least interesting.
lolz
Looks sexy but other then that it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Just when it started to pick up there was only about 20 minutes left in the movie. I was like uhhhh what the fuck. There is no way this is gonna end well. Nope. No redemption. Nothing.
Just a steaming pile of shit.
Pissed I wasted bandwidth on it.
