Have a look at this trailer first.

  

What do you think?
Me, I think that it will be immense, their are theories that this is the Halo story but a peter Jackson version
Their is a viral teas
er site here.
This could potentially be very epic.
Thoughts?

i dont know. thats a bad sign if you see a trailer think- its going to blow my mind. 

movies that have blown my mind never made me think they would before i saw them- like Eternal Sunshine. 

It does look kick ass, i remember the awesome short film from a couple years ago. Bloomkamp seems like he has a lot of potential. 

This is the movie they replaced Halo with- so my guess is, the studio needed more to go by before they handed a huge budget over to the director. Kind of like when the Wachowski Bros made Bound to show off their directing prowess. 

im not sure if this movie will be as convincing and moving as the original short film was, but it looks like it was be visually stunning!!

no way this is what used to be the Halo story.  It's nothing like Halo at all.

Been in a bit of a caps mood today.

I just think it's a bit of a weak device and theme. There are cleverer and more subtle ways to make a social commentary than: OH LOOK ALIENS IN SOUTH AFRICA. OH LOOK WE'RE OPPRESSING THEM LIKE WE DID WITH BLACKS. SEE?

Uninspired is the word I think.

I kind of want to watch this movie as well.
Neil Blomfkamp (I think this is his name) was the director of the Halo movie, however, because Master Chief is a faceless hero, he couldn't make people relate, and get attached to him, so they scrapped the Halo movie. The same man is working on this. I'm pretty excited because the Halo commercial he made with the ODST was ballin'.

it looks like it has the action but not the story. it looks a little interesting to see it. movies seem to be boring now in days. i thought transformers 1 was better then two. i thought bruno so far was better then the summer movies so far.

It's an original idea, and like most original ideas, people shoot them down and say they suck, that is why we never get any original ideas.

I am definitely looking forward to it. It has some interesting concepts and visually it looks great.  One of the main reasons is too see the director at work because he was the one signed on to do the Halo movie before it got put on hiatus.
