Amazing visuals
A great, stunning audio/visual treat for the senses! The story though has been done quiet a few times already it has to be said. It didn't feel like a 2.5 hour film. The level of detail and creativeness in terms of the alien planet Pandora and creature design was great. I can understand the hype for this, it does take a lot of things to the next level. It has some great action scenes. However on the whole the plot is not ground breaking by any means. Still one that has to be seen and experienced!

Back to basics
A cool addition to the series which surpasses the AVP films. This is more back to basics to what made the first film so enjoyable but with more Predators and more people to hunt. You only get to see a bit of the alien planet they are located on which was a surprise. However there are some cool fights and good action scenes, the SFX are pretty good. It's predictable but it will please those who liked the original film so much. The second best film to feature the Predator creature to date!

Pretty good, but a slightly missed opportunity.
I found this film to be very entertaining, with some good action sequences and even better humour. However there is a real sense that is they had pushed the boundaries further this could of been a great film. The mad scientist angle has been done to death over the years and while the action of entertaining, it's quite tame considering that it's a bout a alien eating people for fun. Nevertheless it does entertain and sets up what could be a great sequel if they learn from the mistakes of this one.

Wow what a ride. Ever since reading AndersonÂ’s Claimed, I have been jonsing for a good alien romance without all the cheese and ridiculousness. This series was exactly what I needed. It has everything, being both steamy and romantic with the plot able to carry itself. Each couplesÂ’ was different from each other in both personality and dynamic. Each one took you on a separate journey and I was in love with each in every one. I will add the disclaimer that if you arenÂ’t into rough sex and alpha males, then you should skip this one.

Sound Cast
Wow, just wow...
What can i say about this fantastic tv show? The first season shocked the world by becoming a massive hit with sci-fi and horror fans alike. This young cast has amazing chemistry and the writers created something special. It took me on a trip down memory lane reminding me of things like the goonies and stand by me crossed over with alien and poltergeist. Season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 ended and continues to deliver a cracking story and I look forward to what these guys can do next.

Highly competent SF-horror movie from the modular school of movie scripting (i.e., it's basically Gravity Meets The Thing). Scientists on the ISS bring back microbes from Mars, grow their own alien in the lab - ensuing gribbly creature does not take well to captivity, makes a break for freedom, grisliness follows.
Goes to show that you don't always need originality to make an entertaining movie - yes, it's openly derivative of many other movies, but blends its sources together inventively. Production and actors are both very capable, too. Attempt at a twist ending is somewhat clumsy, but forgivable.

The trailer attracted me to see this a bit like the pretty blue lights in the film, despite the bad reviews. It was far from terrible, but I understand why most people didn't like it. I was hoping for something of a modern take on Independence day. In truth this only feels like one long drawn out segment of an alien invasion film. The SFX are pretty darn good, the cast was ok although hard to picture Donald Faison in anything but Scrubs. Then it ended abruptly in a rather strange way?! Let's hope the sequel feels more like a whole film.

I watched the first half of this season probably eight months ago, and picked it back up last night to finish it. I'm glad I finally did.
I liked the overall feel to this show, it was very discombobulating on purpose and it was very effective. Throughout the show, you don't know if there's going to be a rational explanation to everything, or if there's something alien about the whole thing.
I liked the ambiguous ending, but then I really wanted a resolution, because I'm not sure there will ever be a second season.

Ssshhhhh!
I wasn't sure about this film to start with but gave it a go.
The main story is basically about a family who have to be quiet or the alien type monsters that live within the grounds will attack.
The family use sign language to communicate and have mastered various methods for getting around the house and local area without making any noise.
It is a survival film and although it was strange watching a film with barely any talking in it i did actually enjoy it!

Super mario blows
Contains spoilers, click to show
Super Marios Bros- begins the trend of movies based off of video games. What a start. This film is not even close the game. Mario last name is mario, what? Mario is luigi's father but also his brother? What? Instead of peach, its daisy why? Bowser favorite food is pizza. Goombas look like shit. Toad is not toad. A great cast, wasted on this shit. All of the actors who were in the film, hate the film. Lots of injuries on the set. Super mario Bros. More like super shit bros. Also daisy's father is a alien???
