Keel M. Posted December 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2011 My guess is that the line by Liam Neeson's character welcoming people to the war games. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Paranoid Android Posted December 16, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This movie reminds me of Transformers. I'll probably end up going to see it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp Posted December 16, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That fact that they're claiming this is based on the game means I'm filing this under 'kill it with fire'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonecrusher Posted February 25, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Alexander Skaarsgard is in it...I will be watching it, LOL His character Hopper is a classic case of Hollywood synchronicity. He started off as a slacker and ended up getting the Navy Cross for heroism. When we met him for the first time he was making a wish on his birthday cake to make out with the admirals daughter. The girl was moaning about the bar not serving chicken barritos so Hopper decided to crash through the ceiling of a convenience store. He ended up getting chased by cops and before he gave the girl the microwaved burrito he got tasered. His navy flatmate had enough of his slacking ways so he was ordered to enrol in the navy. The day before they beamed this signal onto this exoplanet. Six years later in the midst of naval exercises Hopper was about to be kicked out of the service. But in the initial attacks by the aliens he was forced to take charge of the only ship within the force field. His leadership qualities were so good he ended up commandeering the USS Missouri with the help of Dad's Army. And this final gambit worked. Btw the way the alien projectiles that were attached to the ships do look like the pegs in the game. Believe it or not Rihanna wasn't the true eye candy.

Iron_Lotus Posted February 27, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 27, 2013 the movie is almost as bad as battle la Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonecrusher Posted February 28, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) the movie is almost as bad as battle la You reckon they are both dire. Tbh the original game shouldn't make a template for the navies. And can you can imagine the implications if there was a loaded dice. It's a good thing it's not either but the film is also patchy in bits. The aliens had the right idea about quarantining the Hawaiii islands with it's military importance. It's just that Hopper executed their plan better with their rag- tag army despite their shaky start. The aliens should have been better suited invading the Earth all over the shop. In the end their whole plan of calling up reinforcements from our own radio telescopes was flawed. Despite the punch they packed.

MightyMo63 Posted February 21, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Served on USS Missouri, had to suspend my disbelief a lot. But it was a fun ride after I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
