Stopped it 15 minutes in....

Are you fricking kidding me?

"Hey, sign this eviction sir, thank you."

"The aliens steal our shoes, but they look at the brand name first and then kill us."

Give me a break.

I did the same thing. I don't get the hype. Was pretty bad.

First off, GTFO!


LINK


Second, this is a really love it or hate it movie, but I can guarantee you didn't get enough out of 15 mins. It switches form the documentary style. However, if you had no interest in the beginning, or you found flaws in the beginning, you probably could not have got into the rest of the movie.


I liked it, but I like sci-fi, and I thought it was original. PRAWN HATER!

So the aliens needed Nike's?

I didn't really want to know why they needed them. Oh, they were half cats, because they sure did love that cat food.

The first 15 minutes were ridiculously stupid.

I watched it today too.
Although it was pretty hokey. i did enjoy what it offered, A different take on Aliens and humans. And offering the take of eventhiugh aliens visit earth, we maintain power and control.

I thought it was funny how the main protagonist alien announced when the sequel would be released in theatres(three years).

I disagree. I really had high hopes (I really like sci-fi) and thought the movie was just ok.

But it is just a movie and everyone will have a different opinion.

I didn't like the first part either, but it ended up being a pretty good movie after that first part documentary-style ended...

Probably the only reasons you thought it was okay. If you did not really like sci-fi and if you did not have high hopes, I predict you would have hated this flick.

The aliens were fricking retards, outside of the one that teamed up with the human.

I can imagine the sequel being one where the main alien comes back with "leaders". They organize the 2.5 million other aliens and then revolt. Knock the crap out of the humans for the experiments and harsh treatment.

The main character gets treated and returns to human form. Negotiates with aliens and stops the annihilation of the humans.

Suspension of disbelief. I thought it was pretty good and something new (except for the Alien Nation starting premise).

That's almost as bad as your painfully stupid comment on the NBA the other day.

Overrated by this board, but a decent movie IMO.

I am a sci-fi fan, watched the whole thing, and when I was through asked myself "Why did I watch this whole damn movie."
