Sloppy Zhang Posted September 16, 2009 I left the movie rather depressed. The last scene really got to me....... and I'm only 19  The whole thing with him and his wife....... aaah, it made me so sad  And the action wasn't as great as, say, G.I. Joe, and the plot was, you know, "racism is bad", wow, how long have we known that now?  So overall.... it was sad.... and I don't really like to pay money to be sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mal Posted September 16, 2009 rotflmao. Â Actually South African accents just make me giggle. Sounds like an Aussie crossed with a Kiwi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rain Posted September 16, 2009 saw it with my son he loved it   I nearly threw up a little too "splatter" for my taste but the basic idea was quite good.  the scene that really got to me was where he was forced in the lab to fire the alien weapon and kill the extraterrestial  my son kept on teasing me the whole evening with the sentence; "don't make me do it don't make me shoot him, I'll shoot a pig instead" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Encephalon Posted September 16, 2009 The story was really well done from the standpoint of character development. The lead went from an obscenely clueless, fascist prick, into a hapless character for whom we could have affection, and then acquired the heroic archetype. Masterful redemption genre work. Â His tortuous experience in the firing range is pretty much the grabber, the emotional hook, for just about everyone I spoke to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de_paradise Posted September 16, 2009 Just saw it today, was interested in the South African content because I was there this year and found it facinating. I love when movies are speed-paced like that. Â One interesting bit was how the Nigerian mafia guys were eating alien body parts, and also wanted to eat the main guy's arm in order to become part alien themselves..... Â There is a similarity in that to the alleged ET's and Annunaki stories where they drank human blood for the DNA in order to become more human and therefore more suitable for this planet inhabitation. This apparently was the original motivation behind human sacrifices at temples, pyramids etc. And this tradition lives on in some extent in Catholics drinking the chalice wine....

doc benway Posted September 16, 2009   the scene that really got to me was where he was forced in the lab to fire the alien weapon and kill the extraterrestial  Me too but I also thought it was pretty intense and disturbing when the warlord tried to take his arm. Loved the movie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
