Peterdita Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Saw a trailer for that the other day, looks pretty darn fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 yeah, I've been looking forward to this one for a while now, I just hope they actually do it well, and it's not another waste of an interesting sci-fi idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchfire Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 it looks great but we've barely heard anything about it too bad , it'll probably be buryed under under all the major releases & will only be shown in a few theaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI Joe the week before (which looks terrible :wallbash:) and Inglourious Basterds (so excited! :thcow2:) the week after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hmm, looks cool. I guess it'll be a while before it gets over here though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Looking forward to it myself and am curious about the whole plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I saw a couple of adds on TV this past week about it. There is actually a number that you can call into to play their game with. Looks like a fun concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebræ Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 From a preview I read earlier here is the most basic elements of the plot without spoiling too much If you like being completly suprised don't read. The alien ship is really more of a life raft, they came to earth because they had no where else to go after some kind of disaster, in space or on their homeworld. They were housed on land supplied by a coorperation. Outwardly the cooperation make a number of products but internaly they specialize in weapon production. They are interrogating/keeping the aliens here to try to figure out their weapons. The main human protagonist works in a force that regulates the aliens within their enclosure and is ignorant of what is going on. Later he sees the aliens assaulted, tortured ect. and tries to help them. I guess they supply him with weaponry and explosions happen.

I'm sure there'll be some metaphoric finger-waggling message in there for us all...might as well break out Die Hard than go to most of the summer movies this year... Finally saw the aliens in one of the previews. They look sufficiently 'other' while they're talking about how they just needed help and a place to stay while they fixed their ship to tell me that it's going to be a 'misunderstood intentions' movie and the true monsters will be the humans. /endrant.

supervike Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 The way I understood how this film came to be was that Peter Jackson had lined up the director, Blomkamp to lead a HALO film adaptation. When that project got severely bloated and shelved, Jackson was still looking for a sci-fi project, and Blomkamp's short film got a better treatment. But, I still wanna see a HALO film!!!

Brushmistress Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 A new Miyazaki film ooo ? Yeah! Called Ponyo (american adaptation name)- about a goldfish that wants to be human. I'm excited as always - I have always enjoyed Miyazaki's flims. :tj: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiNB4epGxK8]YouTube - 'Ponyo' Trailer HD[/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is the choice of location: Taking place in South Africa. (Johannesberg i believe) how's that for metaphor. (seems pretty slap in the face obvious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 But, I still wanna see a HALO film!!! Really?!?! Have you ever seen a movie based on a video game that was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 - love all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Really?!?! Have you ever seen a movie based on a video game that was good. I'll give FF the 'resident evil' films are enjoyable, but yeah, your point holds pretty close to true. BUT...having read all the HALO novels, and really enjoying the stories, AND having Peter Jackson involved gave me hope! Let this little geek have his dream!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Peter Jackson involved gave me hope! Yeah, its not like Uwe Boll was involved. Although I will admit that some Uwe Boll movies are great to watch drunk. Not as good as an Asylum studio movie(such as Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers or Alien vs Hunter) but still great bad movie to laugh at.

nerdelemental Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Resident Evil good? FF, seriously? Srsly? RE 1, maybe. but the others? Ugh. Hardly watchable. To each their own, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
