Uxi Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 The trailers were cool at first, but I'm getting tired of seeing the same guy gawking at something that I don't know WTF I'm looking at, which looks like a junkion pile from TF: the movie. Quote

I remember the american godzilla film pulling the same trick in the trailers. Quote

Snail00 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 i'll watch this. it looks like a better updated id4 type movie without the nonsense. At first I didnt like the smaller trooper like ships but with the new trailer they look like pizza like segments from the Saucer types. I have a gang coming with me to see the movie this coming friday. Quote

505thAirborne Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I definitely want to see this movie, yet so not to be to disappointed, I'm going with the same mind set I had when I saw the 1st Transformers movie, go in with minimal to absolutely no expectations what so ever and I'll walk away enjoying this. Besides can not be any worse than Skyline was. Quote

big F Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I find that the best way to avoid disappointment is to totally avoid all reviews by so-called "professional" film reviewers. More than once I have listened to those supposed experts, who said the film sucked or didn't suck only to find IMO they are the ones that suck. Just unplug your sense of logic buy a soda and some popcorn and enjoy. Quote

Couldn't agree more with that comment, I can't think how many times I've seen a movie that "So called film critics" gave poor or horrid reviews too, only to walk out of the theater thinking.... "Did we watch the same film??" So if it looks good and floats your boat, get a ticket, some popcorn & the beer you snuck in and enjoy!!! Quote
Peabody Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 See, this begs the questions. What do you want to see? I`m basically hoping to see Aliens, except the Marines have modern day equipment. Actually, why don`t I just go and watch my aliens LD instead? I don`t know.. Agreed. -b. Disagree, Skyline was great. So many cool death sequences and a cool twist ending. What do you expect from a popcorn movie? Quote

What do you expect from a popcorn movie? I have to assume you're being facetious, but in the off chance that you're not I expect that said popcorn movies not intentionally, blatantly and maliciously assault my intelligence - which is what Skyline did. And if you're wanting to see "Aliens", then yeah, go watch "Aliens". Going back to Battle: Los Angeles, I hope to be able to see it this weekend and even more so I hope that it's decent. -b. Quote
Chewie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 First off, don't go in expecting Skyline. It was MUCH, MUCH better. Skyline was a waste of time, money and brain cells. B:LA was actually really good. From the acting, to the dialogue. I went in with no more expectations than a few hours of sitting next to my buddies elbow to elbow and got a hell of a lot more. The story was about as solid as it was going to get for an action movie. Aliens attacking. WTF WHY? We're being overrun. Action sequences. GET SOME. End. That being said, it wasn't too predictable or boring. Quote

We must have different definitions of Popcorn movies... (I'm not inclined to see many movies these days) Quote
VF1A-FAN Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Just saw it. Was not disappointed at all. Plenty of action and the pace was pretty smooth. Definitely enjoyed it Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Saw it. Very much enjoyed it. Chewie summed up my experience as well. Even with guarded to low expectations I was very pleasantly surprised. I would recommend seeing it for anyone that wants a well-done Marines vs. aliens action flick. -b. Quote
hutch Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Saw it tonight. Loads of fun, really enjoyed it. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Going Saturday night to see it, glad alot of you guys enjoyed it so far! Chewie went with my same logic of thought for these movies I have, go with no expectations and your bound to enjoy!! Quote
Guest sh002 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) what is skyline? did that come out in theaters cause i didn't notice it when it came out. nevermind i looked it up. the description of the movie is stupid. Edited March 13, 2011 by sh002 Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Because it would be hard for the audience to tell the difference between normal Detroit and alien devastated Detroit... HI-LARIOUS! Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Watched it last night too by my lonesome self and it was good a little cliched with the basic characters, but hey, it's a military movie, they're gonna have to same approach to characters regardless of setting or director. It had a good ending in which it didn't imbue the "everything's gonna be alright" that so many other alien invasion movies have in the past. It was like part Blackhawk Down and part ID4 in which it was ground combat and the first initial engagement wasn't the last and in part that the alien transmission ships enable the smaller alien craft to fight. Except in this movie, deadly doses of explosive ordnance disabled the alien ships, not a computer virus from a Macbook. Quote
macrossnake Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Just saw it, enjoy it, love it. Bit of Blackhawk Down, Independence day + War of the World Quote
SilentCrossHairs Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Just came back from seeing it. A very enjoyable movie. Quote

Man, that's why I miss Japan, you can DRINK WHILE YOU WATCH YOUR MOVIE WITHOUT HAVING TO SNEAK IN A BREWSKIE! Quote
hutch Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Man, that's why I miss Japan, you can DRINK WHILE YOU WATCH YOUR MOVIE WITHOUT HAVING TO SNEAK IN A BREWSKIE! ? There are a number of theaters where I live that I can do this...or did you mean BYOB? Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ? There are a number of theaters where I live that I can do this...or did you mean BYOB? No, I mean, you go to the concession stand pay a few hundred yen and have you a Kirin or Asahi to go with your salty popcorn. You can BYOB too, just sneak it in your girl's bag. Quote

You can BYOB too, just sneak it in your girl's bag. Hell you can do that in New York. I'm not much of a beer man. But I do mix me up a little something to take to the flix. Its not like they gonna search you. Edited March 14, 2011 by SilentCrossHairs Quote

Zor Primus Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Just saw it, enjoy it, love it. Bit of Blackhawk Down, Independence day + War of the World Throw a sprinkle of District 9 mecha design and you got Battle: LA...my question is, why have only ONE central command ship per city? You can travel between stars but you don't have the foresight for a backup unit?? Oh well, we gotta win somehow right? Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Man, that's why I miss Japan, you can DRINK WHILE YOU WATCH YOUR MOVIE WITHOUT HAVING TO SNEAK IN A BREWSKIE! Well if I had two reasons to go to Japan now, One would be to Volunteer anyway I could in helping the clean-up, recovery, temp housing, etc efforts and Two, go see a movie with a Beer and no need to sneak it in! Also I saw Battle: Los Angeles and like most others I definitely enjoyed it!! Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 saw it and definitely a lot more enjoyable than expected. hoooo-rahh! marines! Quote
