I can't wait to see it, I know I'm going to the midnight showing.
VFX looks amazing even though this is a game focus message board...

Hopefully this makes more than Transformers, it deserves it more.

i can't help but think of half life when i see the previews, this isn't a bad thing

Sage · Aug 2009

when I see this I can't help but think why didn't they make the transformers!!!! Looking forward to seeing this.

Bal · Aug 2009

Just hope it doesn't go to far into Transformers territory... Hoping this will be more than some random sci-fi action flick.

The idea behind the movie seems obvious, but the plot has a great twist I've heard that you wont see coming, so we'll see.

Nysuatro · Aug 2009

I am not really amused by the trailer. But I have been wrong before. Trailers ...

Thegodzero · Aug 2009

you know the main prawn was made by Jelmer rite? Support your past polycounters, go see D9!!

Rwolf · Aug 2009

Can't wait either. My friend worked on the vfx.

Jeremy Lindstrom · Aug 2009

I thought he only did the main characters jacket... But yes, support your local polycounters.

bounchfx · Aug 2009

looks fucking awesome to me.

konstruct · Aug 2009

This has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it by chance in a bar some years ago.

Very chuffed that Peter Jackson grabbed it by the balls and stuffed money into Neill Blomkamp.

Can't wait!

Half Life 2 was released on November 16, 2004.
Alive in Joburg was released in released in 2005.

Grav gun award goes to fat Gabe.

lets hope Neill does some justice to the halo movie.

demoncage · Aug 2009

I actually think the tone of the trailer was REALLY dark compared to anything in recent memory, which I like. Hopefully the film matches up.

Will def be checking this one out (despite the independence day hovering ship ripoff :P)

TheSplash · Aug 2009

oh man, I was so excited to see this.. I've been waiting for ages, so i go to the cinema today, sit down, it's packed.. but they can't show the movie because the projector broke or something..

Jay Evans · Aug 2009

check out Neill Blomkamps 1998 demo reel from Vancouver Film school. Not bad for 98, he obviously had some cinematic vision.

mikezoo · Aug 2009

Cant wait to watch this tonight (midnight showing) after a couple of drinks!!

Jeremy Lindstrom · Aug 2009

someone watched armageddon a little much.

Cheez · Aug 2009

Oh man, that demo reel was legendary when I was at VFS

John Warner · Aug 2009

haha I'm seein it on friday night bitches! pre-screening ftw!

spoilers will be posted! i'm going to post the entire movie in point form!

I won't actually do that. but I am getting to see it. I'm pretty happy

IronHawk · Aug 2009

going Saturday with TGZ

ZacD · Aug 2009

I thought the movie was great, not amazing by any means. The CGI was very well done, seamless, and the sound was great. It was almost 2 movies though, the doco beginning, then the twist with almost non-stop action till the end. The action was better than transformers, and the movie really draws in the audience, lots of cheering from people in the crowd, you'll be rooting the main characters on.

My favorite movie of the summer easily, hope it does well. AMC only had it playing on one screen but it almost sold out.

ebagg · Aug 2009

The movie was really damn good, like ZacD says, the two halves feel very different. Brilliant effects, the aliens were done really well. A top notch sci fi action movie, felt very well paced, great cast, some damn entertaining action, someone mentioned earlier that the trailer reminded them of Half Life 2...couldn't agree more, I felt like the main character was Gordon Freeman done right!

ScoobyDoofus · Aug 2009

I was thinking of HL2 the entire time. It was fantastic. Go see it.

PureWall · Aug 2009

i got to see this at comic con a few weeks back. Peter Jackson introduced the movie, and got to meet Neil Blomkamp.

it was a lot better than i thought it was going to be. I thought it was focus more about the racial aspects with the scifi being the undertone.

it wasnt, go see it. they did a really good job not telling the story in the preview.

bounchfx · Aug 2009

this movie was fucking awesome

jdevin · Aug 2009

I watched a pre-screen on Wednesday. Movie was awesome. I highly recommend it.

mikezoo · Aug 2009

Best film I've seen in a long time. Just like Zac said, the movie was kind of cut in two, which for me was a tad jarring. Other than that I loved everything about this film.
I was shocked to see how violent it was! Body parts flying everywhere in a mist of blood. Needless to say the girlfriend did not enjoy it as much as I.

diminished_Self · Aug 2009

my girl got prescreen tickets for wednesday, forgot to tell me, and we stayed home and watched ghostbusters instead. found the tickets this morning and then pooped myself. we'll see it next week.

Noia · Aug 2009

Got my tickets! I got to say I'm pretty psyched. I try to keep my expectations from getting too high as sometimes hype can ruin a decent movie, but it looks really good.
