I do like the look of that, definitely a bit of a sucker for this sort of film.

Ta for the trailers.

Looks interesting.

DDyakest nour... It's weird when they use cyclic in there.

Looks like it might be a bit too 'teen-movie', I think I'd feel irritated rather than entertained.

Well it makes a change from L.A. being invaded.

This is how we know this is a fictional story, as Aliens in reality, only ever attack the US.

Why are all these Invasion films. From Independence Day through BattleLa always pgs or 15's.

When are we going to get a PROPER 18 cert invasion film which is terrifying in the way I was as a 11 year old watching Aliens?

Blimey. Hope they're not showcasing their CGI prowess with that one...

I've just watched a couple more of the trailers on youtube and it looks bobbins. However one of the posts on the you tube clips made me chuckle.

Thats not aliens! Chuck norris just rubbed his feet on the carpet and touched the air!

They really need to make an 18 cert movie of the 'Gears Of War' franchise. It's got a brilliant plot, and while it's traditionally rare that games make a good transition to film, that's one I think would do brilliantly if it had the budget required to create something as visually appealing as the games.

OP, do you work in the film industry? Because this thread is laid out exactly like your John Carter one.

Alas, no.

I keep a keen eye on movie news and when I see something which might interest the congregation on PH, I post it here.

For convenience, I copy and paste and then amend the details from previous threads.

I have to say that I think the odds on a film full of CGI & five well off American kids saving the world is going to be st are quite high.
