This is looking like the cats pyjamas. Also Angel from Dexter is in it

That shot of the people getting abducted is terrifying, great sound design. Wonder if there'll be a 3D version?

Looks awesome. And hey, Scrubs is in there! Good to see him in an actual movie.

Joshua Stubbles · on 11-07-2010 10:24 AM

Yeah it looks great, lets hope the movie is actually good. They've been visual directors on quite a few good movies, but some bunk ones as well. Directing a movie is entirely different. The trailers look great, so I'm crossing my fingers in hopes of awesomeness.

Seams like the writing and acting will be crap. It was short, and was a trailer, so maybe I will be proven wrong later.

Doesn't really matter though because the meat and potatoes of this course will be the special FX either way. That much was made perfectly clear.

I saw an ARG sort of trailer a few weeks ago and thought it would be some fancy movie. Once I saw the actual trailers though I was kind of disappointed. It looks like a crappier version of War of the Worlds. Probably won't see it in theaters.

PixelMasher · on 11-07-2010 11:01 AM

hahaha its directed by the brothers strauss.....their other director offering was AVP:R.....which was fuckin atrocious haha. they might be good FX supervisors but I guess this will be their chance to redeem themselves are directors.

looks alright, bunch of tv actors and a war of the worlds lookin plot from what I gathered, but who knows could be neato.

~ And not just ANY scrubs. Black scrubs

First trailer had me semi-interested. Then the TV commercials started and showed all the aliens. Now it looks like a War of the Worlds knockoff.

I thought this already came out 14 years ago??

:P

When you say Scrubs I think of JD instead of Turk :/
Also milo from 24 is in there!

Anyway the movie looks very generic to me.

looks like chocolate bear looks like he gets in his car and gets stepped on..

Yeah, apparently that's the case for most people. Which is interesting, cause for me and my friends, we always called that guy Scrubs, and the other guy White Scrubs.

Hey Skyline, Crysis called, they want their aliens back!

I'm with gsokol on this...

But hawt damn I really want some skyline chili right about now... now to figure out the best way to order some online and have it shipped across the country.

Autocon · on 11-08-2010 12:38 AM

Special FX look awesome even if it is an independance day/crysis rip off. Acting looks AWFUL and the main white guy in this has to be one of the biggest looking tools ever.

Monsters looks like a better giant alien monster movie by far

You Tube

fearian · on 11-08-2010 11:55 AM

looks a little more interesting. I think I can already spot the EVIL US ARMY plot a mile off though. Also, does anyone else think the 'monsters' title at the end looks like someone whipped it up for the sci fi channel in a few hours?

Makkon · on 11-08-2010 12:16 PM

Why do movies like this always make me feel sick to my stomach?

Andreas · on 11-08-2010 12:40 PM

I was very interested in that trailer until I saw that tentacle at the end

Hopefully it's not indicative of the overall quality of the CG in this movie.

Firebert · on 11-08-2010 12:45 PM

this is why i live in the country! yeehaw!

crazyfingers · on 11-08-2010 12:51 PM

Seems like a highly experimental movie to me. How much non-interactive CG can we show in the background while saving as much money on the foreground as possible? The dude from dexter left a really bad taste in my mouth as the bad guy in The Expendables.

We'll see how well effects artists can carry a movie, doesn't look like they have a lot of costs to recover.

If I am not mistaken by how I read your statement that is what 300 did. A few foreground elements were created and everything else was CG and 300 was awesome.

Have you ever seen transformers? A movie dosnt have to be good to make a shit ton of money.

PogoP · on 11-08-2010 02:43 PM

Angel Batista's in there, from Dexter ;D

Looks crap though.

crazyfingers · on 11-08-2010 02:45 PM

Well say what you want about 300 and transformers, 300 had some amazing interactive action sequences that brought the action right into the very formidable actors, and in transformers the effects actually had a lot of character and charm. I see no saving grace in this movie outside of cool looking far off space ships.

Haha, damn it Anthony I thought we were agreeing on something for once.
