is it worth picking up?

[LordCrumb]

Depends if you like Sci-fi alien invasion movies.

I thought it was pretty cool, definitely getting it.

[Show spoiler]war movies. That's all this movie really is, the only difference being aliens are the enemy. It's otherwise a noisy 2 hour weapon/explosion fest and not much more.

Although I didn't think it was a bad film, if I do pick it up, it will be more for audio-demo-material than anything else.

Don't forget all the cheesy one liners!

A typical action over narrative movie, but I enjoyed watching this. If you like Steelbooks, it's an action movie by Sony, so I'd be prepared to expect an exclusive from HMV.

Tell me about it, possibly the worst writing for a film I've heard in a long time. You have to wonder how the screenplay got picked up.

"Who's da man?"
"You're da man!"

(I haven't seen this movie, I'm purely guessing )

Just got an email from HMV - can now be pre ordered - was hoping for a steelbook but doesn't look like we are getting one so far.

EDIT: Just looked on HMV and has now been pulled down again for pre order - strange

Yea mate just noticed that in the Steelbooks forum - fingers crossed

[shonuff6]

thanks, i think i will purchase this on release day

[Rincewind78]

I liked it, but its something I would wait for until the reduced price. but if a steel book of it comes out, i would get it day 1 for sure.
the trailer was really good.

I wouldn't think twice if/when it makes the $12.99-$14.99 price.

And thats the main reason a lot of films come onto steelbook form, because they know people like you have to buy it, even if you dont plan on ever opening it.

Cracks me up

Companies should release more 'crap' films on steelbook. would help sales big time.
