Tyranid Invasion Movie?

[Psychodrake]

It was terrible. It was a waste of money to watch.

[shishkabob]

the trailer made me think of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. Though, that movie was very good, for an obvious reason if you've seen it. Though, if this movie is getting bad reviews... it's probably not very similar. Just a (please do not swear) trailer.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus was amazing.

Made by the asylum who recently released like.. 5 more movies including
Super croc
Mega shark VS crocosaurus
giga-Piranha
and many many more! Who keeps giving them money to make there films we will never know!

[evalys]

Lmao crocosaurus... brilliant! Need to watch this now...

Skyline is a (please do not swear) film, with regards to story line, acting, everything but the special effects.
If you can turn your brain off for 90 minutes, you can enjoy it.

Yeah this is quite correct, apart from the fact there aren't as many fight scenes as one would hope.

They went ahead and tried to make a "Cloverfield" atmosphere and failed miserably.

I think calling it horrible isnt quite right.. unfinished prehaps?
In my opinion they didnt get wonderful actors, and may have forgotten to make the ending. They cant have left it for the sequal to explain, because they won't be getting one, so therfore they forgot to make the end!

Allthough i did like the scene with the aircraft.

[Psychodrake]

Yeah that was the best scene by far. If the rest of the movie was similar it could have been good.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a good Brothers Strauss film.

you guys saved me $20. thought about taking ma girl to see it, read your reviews, pro reviews, and we decided against it. I thank you good sirs.

By Independence Day/Godzilla movies I meant movies that follow the exact same tired plot as each other. (I'm also referring to the American remake of Godzilla. Not the original Japanese one.)

Movie starts. Introduce characters (Namely the all too obvious "Unlikely Hero").
Something strange starts happening. Everyone's like "WTF?". Suddenly strange thing turns out to be the signs of a giant monster/alien fleet/global disaster, etc.
"What will we do? There's no one who can stop this!"
Unlikely Hero comes up with an idea. Big fight scene with flashy special effects. Plan fails thanks to over zealous military types. Everybody's sad and disillusioned.
Usually around here a petty love or betrayal subplot is revealed/concluded in all of five seconds.
"I have another idea!" says unlikely hero. Everyone is sceptical.
Insert inspiring speech. Plan goes ahead.
Tense build up. World watches in anticipation. Big battle with jets/copters/spaceships.
Bomb is planted/monster is trapped/enemy is tricked. Plan works. Everyone celebrates. The dead are mourned. Film ends and above subplot is concluded if not already.

Little or no explanation for monsters/aliens (Maybe a nonsense pseudo-science monologue if your lucky). No exploration. Viewer left feeling disappointed.

As you might have guessed I've seen more of these films than I would have liked and somehow always feel cheated by them. Especially if the premise is good at the beginning.
Or maybe I'm an arrogant snob who's too picky for his own good. Either way I'm wary of films of this ilk.

Well know we've seen it we know it doesn't follow this plot. Humans don't win! finally a movie were this happens!

That was one of the better points in the movie.

It added some reality as humans are quite fragile and depend on society to protect them.

I loved the snatched helicopter, dumping that cliche on it's ear, same for the escape car!

The suddenly regenerating starship quenching the "superior" Air force cliche was awesome as well.
