I loved this movie! The combat scenes blew away anything in Tranformers or the new Terminator film. Good for the Boers.

The lead actor was really good in it as well. He basically had to carry the whole film, and took his character from super-nerd to Rambo nicely.

As Mak said, D9 confirms that alien power armor is rad. And that Nigerians are psychopaths. And that Blackwater is evil.

It was a little jarring for it to start out with documentary footage and then start switching back and forth between docu and "regular" filming. And I'll bitch about the biology, but fuck it. Our data set on exobiology is ZERO, so it gets a pass.

Overall, slow start but an awesome ride once it gets going. Shit blows up. PEOPLE blow up. Cars and pigs get thrown. Assholes get pulled limb from limb.

It is totally set up for a sequel.

Well, after all this rave by all you of low IQ, I finally got to watch it. My opinion is what I suspected it would be. It's the worst piece of shit, made for the culturally deprived and brain dead, I ever saw in my life.

I was underwhelmed as well. Looked like a made for SyFy original made in the middle of a writer's strike.

The start was slow, but once it built up it had me hooked on all levels. At least admit the alien weaponry was fucking kickass. And I'm not a special effects addict by any means.

If there is a sequel, it will include:

1) 3d. This is going to affect the whole landscape of the movie industry in this decade. I realize I'm not saying anything new.

2) The Prawns returning to Earth with much more badass shit.

So if it's good or not, I will probably pay my $12 and go to the theater.

Not so much the prawns, but their masters are what piques my curiosity.

As in the movie (and much more so the series) "Alien Nation."

Yeah, "Overseers." We got that, but they're like the more-intelligent and directed D9 prawns. Who owns them? We never found out.

Great movie, Prawns are the ultimate niggers.

For the sequel it be great if they came back but as most of the Prawns but 2 were fucking stupid shit eaters, it be funny if they came back and their ship broke down over L.A.

You thought the Prawns dealing with the Nigerians was funny? Now they tradding with the Bloods and the Crips and forming a Syndacite with La Familia Muthafuckah!

Good movie, the big suspension of disbelief was not the Aleins it's that we would let those kind of weapons sit in the hands of Skinneys and we would sit back and let South Africans handle it. We would invade for that kind of technology, you know Putin would.

Hey? the Prawns in Russia D-3!

Great flick. Worth a second and third viewing.
