Apollo 18 trailer????
« on: June 28, 2011, 10:32:50 PM »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F6DU6gx7-w My god it looks like some horrible alien movie, and at the beginning it looked like vintage footage, then the aliens came in? I'm wondering if this is really an actually movie or some bs  :uhoh

I remember seeing that trailer a while ago. I think it's cool, haven't seen a space horror flick in a while, this looks sorta' promising to me.

The editing is awesome, but i doubt how good it will be. As of now I say prove me wrong  :D

The best sci-fi is plausable sci-fi.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Of course even cheesy sci-fi is good sometimes. :D

Saw the trailer. It looks pretty cool. Then again, I have a soft spot for sci-fi; especially if it has something to do with our history.

Uh... this is a little more like a mix of Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, or Quarantine set on the moon. If you watch the trailer the only similarity to Alien you will see is space and aliens. It's not set in the future in deep space with space marines toting giant guns getting slashed to bits. It's another one of those "found footage conspiracy" films but I think it's pretty fresh and they're not bad for thrillers.

Eh, I take it for what it is. I enjoyed it and tried not to reflect upon it as much as I could. Shoot'em up/slash'em up style movies are more fun if you can stop being a jaded self-appointed film critic for an hour and just have fun. These movies are designed to thrill, not give all the smarmy people in sweater-vests wearing horn-rimmed glasses something they can attach a certain number of stars to.

I have a really hard time with a lot of the shoot 'em up movies that go beyond any concept of what's realistic (As far as weapons capability and the like) but I really enjoyed Paranormal Activity as, well, its not like there is an accepted level of realistic for ghosts lol.

Yeah, you're right about that. I do lose the immersion when people go flying after  getting shot and seeing bottomless magazines. Automobiles apparently fueled by TNT and rocket fuel distract me as well.

The A-Team and the RPG scene stick out in my mind as some of the worst EVER.

:lol I remember on the classic A-Team how bad of a shot everyone was, but then again no one died in the 80's. don't get me wrong I LOVED THE ORIGINAL A-TEAM the only scene I like about the movie was the tank scene which again was unrealistic but who cares that was just awesome.
