Thorin Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I thought his accent sounded more Scouse when he started swearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm just back from seeing this now. Loved it. Although I did have to do a double take when he was in the robot suit and picked up a pig and fired it at someone! Very much like the half-life gravity cannon thing.

Homer Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Slow start, but enjoyed it. Not what was expected from the adds but gets a 7/10. The CGI was very good but similar to Cloverfield felt it had been let down by the way it was put together. Worth a watch though. I thought his accent sounded more Scouse when he started swearing. Definitely some "northern English" in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Interesting about the accents. By and large I thought they were good. Strange though about the northern english thing as the lead actor who plays Wikus is Argentinian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 **********SPOILERS********** Watched this last night, good film but not a great film (IMO). Good effects though. the accent of the lead guy was truly awful and did spoil the film - why bother having such realistic effects if the lead doesn't match up! Also, massive plots holes in it - the biggest of which (unless I missed something) is why didn't we strip the ship down and why couldn't we find the control centre in 20 years. Bit lame really but otherwise an entertaining watch. With all the legal rights they were given i'm not sure they'd of been allowed to 'strip down' their ship. Also, even if they did find the command centre they probably couldn't of used it because of the same reason they couldn't use their guns. Was the guys accent really that bad? I didn't even notice and i've been to South Africa twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 a useless bit of info but this was originally going to be the "halo" (xbox game) movie, so is based around that, apparently there was a arguement between game makers and film guys because they wanted to remove master chiefs helmet in the film but halo guys werent having any of it so pulled the plug on it!!!

JustGav Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Good film, something different. And to those who reckon the accents are wrong...well... they aren't.. (Lethal weapon 2 had a crap SA accent ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I thought it was ok but I get a little wigged out by people turning into insects, must have been something to do with watching 'The fly' when i was younger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I liked the film, was quite different from what I expected. Now the weird bit... Did anyone else notice the letter T made up by 5 dots (3 horizontal, 2 verticle underneath) flash up on screen at all? it happend about 4 times for me, no one else i went with saw it. I often see things in films others dont, like witht The Ring, when the ring kept flashing on screen very quickly, no one else noticed that either. I sometimes wonder if its because of my color blindness I know that my eyes process images slightly slower, which may be why they register with me, just a theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWatch66 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 yeah I saw that too, also a picture of a prawns penis flashed a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiceRocket Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Just seen this as was just released on dvd- great film IMO, probably best of 2009 with Hangover after it is why didn't we strip the ship down and why couldn't we find the control centre in 20 years. The ship was massive and maybe they didn't want to risk it crashing onto the surface (1)And if he could instinctively work it why didn't he do the bullet catch thing that the kid did to save him? Its like picking up a gun and using it to stab people. Also,(2) flying away at the end? The guy was in charge of an intergalactic ship. Why didn't he just start picking up his people? Pah! (1) +1 grumble (2) maybe the ship was lacking defensive capabilities against certain missile strikes the alien did say he was going back for help and mentioned the 3yrs thing hence a possible sequel. Did anyone else notice the letter T made up by 5 dots (3 horizontal, 2 verticle underneath) flash up on screen at all? it happend about 4 times for me, no one else i went with saw it. Not me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I thought this film was rubbish And how the hell could all the humans understand what the aliens were saying?

imi Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Watched it, thought it was a really good movie - quite factual when it comes to the human psyche and the extent that humans are prepared to go through in order to exploit a species, race (in this case parallels with the africans in a-partite SA), resources (weapons, etc). EDIT: thought the SA accent was done well, any more thicker and I wouldn't be able to understand the dude I agree this film is better than avatar anyday from what aspect?
