    Two new alien invasion movies, this time about a bunch of gang kids in South London and an alien invasion in Moscow.

    Attack the Block

    the Darkest Hour

    Now the US airforce and US marines get some competitions with crazy Russians and ... Londoners.

    The Darkest Hour seems to be from the people of "Nightwatch" and looks slick and has some more "alien" concepts about the invasion (and some sensible ones like the aliens shutting off our power grids first and killing us later). The Attack the Block seems more fun movie though I don't know how serious the other one is seeing some parts of the trailer.

    "Sebaceans once had a god called Djancaz-Bru. Six worlds prayed to her. They built her temples, conquered planets. And yet one day she rose up and destroyed all six worlds. And when the last warrior was dying, he said, 'We gave you everything, why did you destroy us?' And she looked down upon him and she whispered, 'Because I can.' "

    Gang members in South London?!

    God that is going to piss me off. Be ready for such classic lines as:

    "Wha blad", "She is peng", "Alrigh bruv" an "Come on fam!"

    Out of all the places it could of been set and the people it could have followed and we're getting bloody Kidulthood with Aliens.

    Well at least you can root for the aliens and cheer every time a gang member is killed.
    These fine gentlemen's have thanks to their consistent idiotic posts have earned their place on my ignore list: mrmouth, The Illusionist, motiv-8, mongrel, azoth, thorn777 and elfdude. If you want to join their honourable rank you just have to post idiotic posts and you will get there in no time.

    Makes a lot of sense actually. If they have FTL spaceflight capability, camouflage looks like a piece of cake. Hell, James Bond had that invisible car in that movie. Plus if they're some kind of energy manifestations, notseeing them would be realistic.

    I'm more worried about the main characters suddenly having ghostbuster style guns with them than the aliens being invisible. What are they? The grandcousins of Mc Guyver?

    Just once I'd like to see a movie where humans are the evil alien invaders trying to wipe out some other planet.

    You have to realize we're actually conditioning humans to instinctively hate aliens, so that when we reach for the stars we'll have no qualms about xenociding entire planets.

    The aliens will be all "We come in peace" or "Hooray, first contact with an advanced and therefore peaceful species" and we"ll be going "BRRATBRATBRRRAt, BOOOM BOOM, KILL'M ALL!" and "If their women look vaguely human, take'm with you!"
    Some day I'll actually write all the reviews I keep promising...

    Yea that was great. It was still a retaliation, so humans were still kinda justified though.

    Yay, more of the Alien Invasion band wagon!

    Seriously, movie industry, fire your writers and producers and actually hire people who have new ideas?

    The moscow movie looked good up until the aliens. Seriously... they would wipe everyone out before anyone figured out how to kill them... and I liked one of the comments. Its set in Moscow for a change but it still needs Americans to fight the aliens.

    If they used real Russians everyone would know that the aliens would stand no chance!
