Oh, goodness gracious... Must make a thread about this movie...
It was... absolutely amazing, in my opinion. Easily a new favorite, possibly my all-time favorite... I really hope I don't sound like a complete idjit when I say I loved it. sweatdrop It was just so...new...to me. I've seen alien movies before... And I've seen your typical war movies before... Documentaries, etc... But I've never seen such a wonderfully executed alien movie before.
My one qualm is that it might've been overly brutal for cheap thrill purposes... But a small horrified part of me is wondering if people are really capable of being like that, and it's not being overly brutal at all.
The character development was wonderful, to me... The plot seemed "realistic" (as realistic as that stuff gets, if you know what I mean. A real "what if"), captivating, and satisfying... Graphics have never been super important to me, but those were swell too... And it really knew how to bother me; tugged at my heartstrings like crazy. It kept me on the edge of my seat as well. I was fiddling with the ring I was wearing like crazy.
Was just all-around...fantastic.
Thoughts?...

@Doc: Mmhm, that sounds about right. It certainly has many a message.
@Kire: Yeah, I loved the advertisements~! They had a parade of "alien right protesters" at a convention as well, I believe. Oh, I called the phone number given on most of the advertisements, too. It has a few interesting little features on it.
@Tsuji: Tell me what you think as soon as you watch it. whee
@Tae: Don't like alien movies?
@Aretoo: Glad you're looking forward to it. 3nodding You have every reason to, I'd say.
@Celes: Oh, no... It's certainly not just another monster movie. No mindless destruction (though there's destruction aplenty). And the style is quite different from Cloverfield; the perspective is almost constantly changing, there's no real cameraman, etc.
@Spiif: I didn't get all the hype about it. It was a good movie, but not... exceptional or anything. The twists were kind of just eyebrow raisers to me.
