http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F6DU6gx7-w (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.

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.

meeehhhh ho hum. Been there done that it was called ALIEN
-
Alien was about the moon!? I didn't know that thanks for telling me that. :rolleyes:

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.

Cloverfield sucked :lol

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.

There's a reason for the bottomless magazines, you know. They are not often used to convey a sense of a character being 'awesome' (exceptions include the Rambo series). They are used because in order to actually simulate a character using a weapons one would waste a great deal of very valuable screen time just showing them hiding in cover and reloading. Furthermore, sex sells, and producers don't want to have the good looks of actors hidden by the thousands of rounds that they'd need to carry. All that equipment would also raise the question of where they got it all (if this isn't a soldier movie). Finally, actors often use a wide variety of weapons, and learning the particular manual of arms for each is a great deal of work and costs time. Also, it can change a character dramatically, as it raises the question of their background with firearms.
There is a great deal more to these tough decisions than one might think.

Thanks, Penguin. My viewing of all the classic Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies was instantly improved once I thought about how much of a pain it must be for the actor to shove a metal box into the bottom of a weapon. Look, just because they have reasons it doesn't make the viewing experience any better. Abrams had reasons for the ridiculous lens flares in the latest Star Trek, that doesn't mean that a lot of the audience didn't think they looked like crap.
-
I have to agree. To me, a well-done well-thought out fight scene with time to reload will always be necessary for me to enjoy the movie. Honestly, watching someone have to duck behind cover to reload can be even more dramatic.
-
However, this would become a problem, especially with revolvers, as the amount of ammuntion expended between reloads is exceptionally small. Seeing your character constantly reload would quickly become boring, as nothing would ever come of it.
So you're supposed to suspend your disbelief and assume that the character reloaded between scenes.

Some realoading scenes are better than the rest of the movie.

Watch 3:10 to Yuma. It's a good film with very well done gun fights. And guess what? It's a western. They're reloading more than they're shooting, and spend a lot of time in cover, and it's still fun to watch. My disbelief was suspended throughout the film, never once (as far as I can recall) did I go "Hey wait a minute, you can't do that!"

LOL!! I love this quote someone posted on this video...its a parody of the Allstate Mayhem commercials:
Mayhem: I'm your getaway driver you picked up at the last minute. I'm toejamting bricks and whaling on the gas like it's the Indy 500, when suddenly, the front tires blow and I catch a few 9mm and 12ga slugs whizzing through the windshield causing me to drop dead at the wheel while barrelling into the car ahead of us. Your 15min insurance may not cover the cost of the damage to public property. So get Allstate. You can save money and be better protected from mayhem, like me!
