are there any asian people in joburg??? let's play spot the asian in hollywood movies.. nope can't find one

i liked this movie on the whole.

I watched this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was glad that the message was still there without being overbearing and preachy.

if anything this movie is racist because it portrays all white people as dickheads

but maybe they are so the movie's just being completely honest

Not every movie has to contain every class of race/sex and yeah their are a ton of stereotypes out there but for good reason, they exist.

You're a moron go watch epic movie

RE5 is racist.... oh wait wrong topic.

I just came back from seeing this and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I liked how it wasn't your typical american hero action movie which I find annoying. The main character was a refreshing breath of fresh air and I really liked the use of documentary style. At first I was a little taken aback by the lack of closure at the end, but now that I've thought about it it makes sense the way it ended. The film asks us to reflect on the way we treat others and to think of the consequences of our actions. Because we aren't shown whether Christopher returns after 3 years and if he comes peacefully or declares war on humanity, we need to surmise for ourselves what the consequences might be. Overall, this whole movie kind of reminded me of an episode of the Outer Limits, which I love, so I really enjoyed it!

konix, you have to realize though that these aliens weren't exactly the top of their species intellectually. While we're never given confirmation, the movie does suggest that they were all lowly workers, on a mining vessel sent to harvest minerals from planets. They were malnourished when they got stuck on earth, and humans did provide for them nourishment, and once they got a taste of catfood they were exploited out of their weaponry and technology. They were pretty much all about survival and that point (which is logical when you're on a foreign planet occupied by billions of other inhabitants) and once they were stripped away from the advantages they once held over humanity they were just like caged animals.

As to why they were confined, I think it's pretty obvious. If an spaceship of aliens landed over earth and we had the means to cage them, that's exactly what we'd do. We're all about segregation and keeping out the unknown from harming us.

You guys are racist for assuming that all aliens are rich and powerful.

lol there will be no sequel. book it.

lol there will be no sequel. book it.

I agree. A sequel would completely ruin the ending of the film.

Finally got to see this fucken amazing movie. That mech scene was crazy, and I couldn't help but laugh at some of the aliens speak.. "What is an eviction?"

I really enjoyed this film but I feel this thread has too much cynicism towards it. Kinda juvenile really when you consider if there is really any need for that. You know - when people bitch about things to sound clever, just because they can?
I would watch a sequel.

Here is a picture of me vomiting on your negative posts: 

Note: in real life I am neither yellow or spherical in appearence.

just saw this. it was pretty good, the message was a little heavy handed and there were some plot holes but it was definitely an enjoyable movie.
