Maybe good, maybe bad by FookU	Jan 16th, 2008 08:16:24 AM

descent + road warrior + escape from new york by palewook	Jan 16th, 2008 08:18:20 AM
could be fun
for a low budget film, it could be alright by moondoggy2u	Jan 16th, 2008 08:27:27 AM
probably a worthy b movie rental.
o' goodness by harold_maude	Jan 16th, 2008 08:27:36 AM
that looked awful. where is Rambo?
He sure does like his kick-ass female protagonists. by brokentusk	Jan 16th, 2008 08:30:01 AM
I think this looks like fun. Sure it's a blend of all of those films, but it doesn't look like it's taking itself too seriously. Plus it has a guy delivering the line, “We’re going to catch them, cook them, and eat them.” I'm down.
I swear... by adolfwolfli	Jan 16th, 2008 08:31:22 AM
The first half of that trailer looked exactly like the evacuation scenes from I Am Legend. And then the rest looked like Land of the Dead. And then there were some... wait, it's totally unoriginal!
That looks absolutely terrible by MontyPigeon	Jan 16th, 2008 08:32:56 AM
The Descent is a great film but this looks like like shit. Mad Max 2 remade under a different name mixed in with 28 days later and Resident Evil = Fanboy film.
Dirty, Pretty and Derivative by lonestaricon	Jan 16th, 2008 08:34:03 AM
This movie appears to draw from several others as pointed out by Merrick. However, Doomsday doesn't appear to build or improve upon those movies.
I can deal with the cheesiness, but by beastie	Jan 16th, 2008 08:35:09 AM
that female protaganist has no fucking personality, in the trailer, at least. When did sci-fi movies replace personality with angst? Was it The Matrix or Underworld?
Why post this Sh*t for? It looks AWFUL!!! by Cpt Kirks 2pay	Jan 16th, 2008 08:36:14 AM
So cheap and video game/movie rip off too! We're geeks perhaps, but we're not THAT geeky or infantile. The shameless perverted lingering shot of Rhona Mitra's ass has more credit than anything else in this pic. No pardon me while ignore the rest of this trailer and this intelligenct person goes off and watches something a lot more sophisticated, rewarding and substantial. (Now.... rewind/replay/rewind/replay of Rhona Mitra's backside all day long.... rewind/replay/rewind/repeat to fade....)

Doomsday = Aliens via 28 Days Later via Mad Max by drwilliamweir	Jan 16th, 2008 08:37:10 AM
Shurely?
At first by Francis Begbie	Jan 16th, 2008 08:39:36 AM
I wasn't impressed, definetly a mash up of a lot of films, but by the end of the trailer it had me interested, could be entertaining.
Escape from 28 Days Warrior! by rev_skarekroe	Jan 16th, 2008 08:42:57 AM
I expected more from this guy.
28 years later by ironic_name	Jan 16th, 2008 08:48:40 AM
I don't care, rhona's but is great.
I'd much rather see a movie that rips off movies I like by Mattapooh	Jan 16th, 2008 08:49:28 AM
and does it well, rather than something like Underworld. Besides, after Dog Soldiers (VERY derivative, but awesome) and The Descent (Alien-influenced, but also awesome), I think Neil Marshall has movies that are worth going to.
RHONA MITRA!!!!!!!need to see this now!!!! by travis-dane	Jan 16th, 2008 08:49:56 AM
spring!?!!fuck!!
I don't care, rhona's butt is great. by ironic_name	Jan 16th, 2008 08:49:57 AM
my penis would like to buy an apartment in her ass.
It's like the party scene in Weird Science by kikuchiyoboy	Jan 16th, 2008 08:53:30 AM
I really dug The Descent. Especially the second time around. As for this... eeesh. This looks very direct to video. Who knows. I still have fauth in this director if this sucks. Unless it sucks really bad.
by Omar B	Jan 16th, 2008 08:55:20 AM
Another movie I don't need to see. Mad Maxx with a chick and a Bentley. Ok, I hear ya, still don't care though.
28 Days with Mad Max by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 16th, 2008 08:58:38 AM
;)
Why has no-one mentioned.. by chuffsterUK	Jan 16th, 2008 09:02:23 AM
.Bronx Warriors,cos that what it reminded ME of...looks pretty poor,sadly :(
Meh... by dr sauch	Jan 16th, 2008 09:10:09 AM
Although, Rhona Mitra is fucking absurdly hot. I think I'll hate this for the same reason I hated Underworld: two hours of Kate Beckinsale with no excuse to get her naked. Call me sexist, but it's hard for me to see a smoking hot chick in leather as the tough guy.
Looks like fun by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 16th, 2008 09:15:48 AM
At least there's some proper stunts as opposed to drenching everything in CG. I'll keep an open mind until I see it, The Descent was fantastic.
Madness? by SpawnofAchilles	Jan 16th, 2008 09:17:12 AM
this.is.DOOMSDAY! kick
I hope by frongbak	Jan 16th, 2008 09:22:20 AM
Neil Marchall scored a free Bentley for the flick to make up for those shoe string budgets he usually deals with. Also, does Rogue Pictures own the rights to Bob Hoskins, with this and Danny the Dog AKA Unleashed it seems like they really have him by the short and curlies.
Didn't? by Elliot Cowan	Jan 16th, 2008 09:33:07 AM
Didn't Will Smith just make this?
Wait so that's NOT Kate Beckinsale? by aceattorney	Jan 16th, 2008 09:36:32 AM
Looks just like her!
Faith by Turtle_Z	Jan 16th, 2008 09:37:56 AM
Dog Soldiers was excellent. The Descent was excellent... I'm going to let myself be excited.
any apocalypse by zom-bot.com	Jan 16th, 2008 09:38:27 AM
is good apocalypse. i won't trash it until i see it.
Cool, a dumb-fun exploitation mash-up! by KillaKane	Jan 16th, 2008 09:38:32 AM
Acting's erring on the wooden side, but that's part and parcel of the mileu Marshall's paying homage to. Gonna have to see it.
great car commercial, shit movie by BMacSmith	Jan 16th, 2008 09:41:02 AM
but i love postapocalyptic shit
it "seems" cool, but was it made with love.... by proton45	Jan 16th, 2008 09:41:09 AM
My first impression is "it looks cool"...I'm a sucker for "post-apocalyptic" movies with "hot-chicks", "hot cars", and "flamboyant crazy's that want to rule the outland"(and the trailer supply's ample helpings of all that)...But with these low budget films the proof will be in the pudding. And if I where to boil the success of this movie down to any one thing, I would ask the question, "was this movie made with love?"...This types of movie always suck's if it was made for a profit, and it will suck if "too many" studio "big-wigs" stuck their nose into the production for the sake of the "bottom line"...But if it was made by people who actually enjoy this type of movie, and have a clue as how to balance the whole affair (the action, to humor, to babes ratio is an art form that can not be faked)we could have an enjoyable hour and a half...
Doomsday by ObiWanCon	Jan 16th, 2008 09:44:16 AM
It looks SHIT.
Resident Evil 4? by The Outlander	Jan 16th, 2008 09:49:22 AM
I loved Decent, and was really looking forward to this, now not so much. Hopefully this is an example of a good movie with a bad trailer. Fingers crossed.
The most post obvious product placement ever! by The Outlander	Jan 16th, 2008 09:54:41 AM
The car looks so out of place in this movie, I hope the money was worth it.
VIRUS PORN by uss cygnus	Jan 16th, 2008 09:55:18 AM
See: I Am Legend, 28 Days Later, Outbreak, Warning Sign, The Omega Man....
Looks like it could be good cheesy fun... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 16th, 2008 09:55:44 AM
...I certainly don't expect greatness, and Mitra certainly doesn't seem very good as the "tough girl" lead role, but still looks like it might be a fun riff on late 70's/early 80's sci-fi/action b-movie hybrids such as Escape From New York, The Ultimate Warrior (this still needs to be put out on dvd, damn it) and the italian ripoffs like Bronx Warriors. If it's even half as fun as those films were then I'm there.
Oh fuck off! by C Legion	Jan 16th, 2008 09:56:03 AM
I'm bored of the continuing trend of pretty, skinny women acting tough, I just don't buy it. I've seen some exceptional female fighters in real Martial Art films, and that's cool, but when some bint who is clearly incapable of beating up Liberace's corpse is presented as being tough, I lose interest instantly. Tarantino's films have gone to shit recently due to this (I don't include Jackie Brown, Pam Grier was fantastic, and a believably strong woman), his next film may as well be "Charlie's Angels 3" with half the running time constituting close ups of womens feet.
Could be fun, but it does look like garbage... by JunoFallon	Jan 16th, 2008 09:57:27 AM
Coooooooorrrrrrrrnnnnnny!
Not what I was expecting... by EvilGeek1	Jan 16th, 2008 09:59:22 AM
The usual virus re-hash. Girl kicks ass. yadda yadda yadda. We've seen this before.
Bring on "Rambo". by C Legion	Jan 16th, 2008 10:00:32 AM
Put some bollocks back into the action genre.
Oh Hells yea!! by Varakor	Jan 16th, 2008 10:00:38 AM
This looks hot as hell, I'm defifinitely on for this fuckin ride. must.....watch trailer... again.... spooge
Christ, where did all you fuckers come from? by Lost Jarv	Jan 16th, 2008 10:01:47 AM
waaah- It's derivative, waaaah not impressed, waaaah.... It's a fucking Neil Marshall post-apocalyptic epic. For fuck's sake, how can you not be excited. Would you rather watch Hostel 3 or Saw 5 or any of that shit?
Yawn... by tylerzero	Jan 16th, 2008 10:02:32 AM

Neil Marshall doing a Uwe Boll Film. WTF?! by cowboyone	Jan 16th, 2008 10:02:45 AM
I'm bummed. I Loved The Descent.
Speaking of Uwe Boll... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 16th, 2008 10:04:50 AM
...I just saw the trailer for Postal. And kinda enjoyed it. It's been a weird fucking day.
Preach it, Brother Jarv! by DocPazuzu	Jan 16th, 2008 10:07:50 AM
Dog Soldiers and The Descent have both ensured that I will trust Marshall on this, sight unseen. And yes, Rhona Mitra's ass doesn't hurt. God, she's hot. Maybe now she can finally get to play Lara Croft like she was meant to.
wow, this could really go either way by StovetopStuffin'	Jan 16th, 2008 10:09:37 AM
It could be a ridiculous and embarrassing movie for fans of his, or it could be the movie Escape from L.A. should have been. God I hope it's good, but it really could go either way. we'll see.
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!! by Spastic Jedi	Jan 16th, 2008 10:09:55 AM
Well, probably not. BUT... Come on, it looks really fun. Could "The Road Warrior" be made today and not have people hating it in the talkbacks? Serioulsy. Doomsday looks like someone who loves all the movies we love, and made a movie with homages to all of them. Sure, it's not Mad max, but we haven't had a Mad Max movie in over twenty years!!! I'm excited for this film, it looks cool and fun while not taking itself too serious. Come on, it looks better than "Diary of the Dead" - am I right?
Spastic Jedi by DocPazuzu	Jan 16th, 2008 10:18:10 AM
If Mad Max2/The Road Warrior came out today, talkbackers would be moaning thusly: "It's Waterworld on land! Starring Braveheart instead of The Postman! This sucks! It's derivative! It's got motorbikes laying siege to a tanker instead of waterscooters laying siege to a man-made island! The Humungus is just a pale copy of The Deacon! The Feral Kid is just a copy of the girl with the crayons!" And at least one of them would be saying: "My name is NoDiggity and I love to lick man-balls!"
Can you imagine... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 16th, 2008 10:18:42 AM
...what talkback would have been like in the 'direct to video' 80's? I swear, sometimes I think people have become so focussed on 'having their say' and playing online critic that they've forgotten how to just enjoy movies. I mean truly bad films deserve a shit kicking, but it seems like nobody has faith in anything anymore, particularly if it doesn't have a blockbuster sized budget, multimillion dollar advertising campaign and a-list director and star(s). Sometimes I miss the simplicity of the 80's where you'd go down to the local vid store and rent 5 videos for a few bucks just because you thought the covers looked cool, or because it was a horror or action or sci-fi movie you hadn't seen before. Ah, memories.
and another would be saying by Lost Jarv	Jan 16th, 2008 10:21:29 AM
yuo arnet unerdstnding me. If you dnot lke this yuo msut be stupid, as it were. That is, by the way, the funniest dissection of Talk Back I've seen in ages.
Wasn't this reviewed MONTHS ago? by mbeemer	Jan 16th, 2008 10:44:16 AM
And wasn't the review that it wasn't particularly good... except that it had sweaty Rhona Mitra in it?
C Legion: by mbeemer	Jan 16th, 2008 10:46:06 AM
"I'm bored of the continuing trend of pretty, skinny women acting tough..." Well, Rhona did model as Lara Croft, so she's got some geek cred... :-P
Location Change? by slfricky	Jan 16th, 2008 10:52:31 AM
The car chase/Road Warrior looking bits near the end are clearly not filmed in Britain, especially not Scotland, where the movie supposedly takes place.
Cool another one by Reznik	Jan 16th, 2008 10:57:50 AM
another in your face, hip, fast-paced action / adventure movie that pits a hot skinny girl in a full on ass kicking scenario that is beyond unlikely. If I hear the words "Hang On!" followed by an explosion in a movie one more time,... well, I'm just gonna snap. "Nice color, I'll take it." I'm not saying I could do better by any stretch of the imagination but it feels like I've seen this movie a million times. Its a formula I know, but Its one I'm starting to admire less and less. That overzealous naked blonde dude is a direct rip off of Lord Wez from the Road Warrior if I ever saw one. I'll watch it, but its definatley a rental. By the way I usually only post here with very positive things to say, but this movie... man, I dont know.
the first 10 seconds.... by Lanceloco	Jan 16th, 2008 11:07:14 AM
had potential, after that it just went all to shit, CHEEZE!!!
Escape from Robo-Indians by ArcadianDS	Jan 16th, 2008 11:14:08 AM
Why must every post-apoc movie depict its villains as super-future robo-indians of the Wild Wild West? Its in what - london or something? First off, on my list of Places Expected To Unleash Deadly Infections Upon Humanity, London is 23rd on the list behind every single established city and village on the continent of Africa. It ranks just above Los Angeles, by the way. Aside from the silly notion that I guess a 'super-tooth-decay' virus is going to break out among the tea sippers on the Jolly Old Mainland, how do we explain that Native American Indians (who were neither Indians nor Native Americans mind you) suddenly take over? Weren't they rather decimated by Small Pox given to them by some expatriated Tea Sippers in the first place? Is this their long awaited vengeance for booger crusted blankets and saliva seasoned bottles of Fire Water? And I suppose when humanity is in dire peril, the forces of the world manage to build a human-proof wall around the city - a city on an island - surrounded by water. Why not just oh i dunno, mine the english channel and blow up the airports? Doesn't an island sort of already have its own human proof barrier already built into it? Oh sure they might learn how to build more boats and planes, but if we're able to watch via space satellites for any individual movements within London's Infected District (yeah I know - I'm hardly being specific enough), then couldn't we just watch for any suspicious 'airplane building activity'? Okay so the plague breaks out which, I suppose is inevitable for nations who are incapable of preventing illegal immigration coming IN; you cant really honestly think they can prevent emmigration coming OUT from the same flawed system. So once we as a race have decided that bazillion dollar nuclear air craft carriers and super submarines and space satellites aren't sufficient to combat the inevitable spread of the curiously oxymoronic "super big small pox" virus, we move on to Earth's Blan B: nuke all of England (which incidentally also happens to be America's Plan B - bet on it.) No no. Thats not plan B. Plan B is to send in that pleathery chick from the underworld movies in to find the direct descendant of the original Wolfman Jack, I'm supposing. But before you laugh at the silly plan, you should first be aware that she's going to have the full power of a 2008 Mercedes Coup at her disposal. Oh yeah, you feel stupid for doubting now, dont you? Among its other listed features of built-in On-Star services and hands free MP3 Cell phone, it also has a standard equipped 'drive right through a bus' technology. Sattelite Radio is still considered and upgrade option, however. Sorry. The only question on my mind is whatever could have prevented Hollywood from making such a smart and innovative movie before now? What really sells this movie is Malcolm McDowall as Himself - which should come as no surprise seeing as that is how he can be billed in every single movie and television program (programme) he has ever been in, oh and Wing Commander V for added measure. Lastly, please dont tell me that Alexander Siddig (previously known as Siddig El Blow Up Your Airplane before he opted to Americanize his name because fat folks in trailer homes south of Missouri can't seem to wrap their toothy mouths around the name Faddil) - please dont tell me he is that Super Mutant Really REALLY Last Of The Limey Mohicans character. You know the one: he was last portrayed by Dennis Hopper in Waterworld. Hey wait a minute: is this an unofficial sequel to Waterworld? Allah just called. He said this movie stinks like 50 dead virgins. Also, he wants everyone to know that he has changed his name to Billy-Joe Akbar in order to make himeself more palatable to toothy folks south of Missouri.
I'm available for hire by ArcadianDS	Jan 16th, 2008 11:17:24 AM

Tough call, I mean I see it all by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 16th, 2008 11:20:52 AM
Escape from New York, I Am Legend, Road Warrior. Three great movies. Yes, I Am Legend was great. This is nothing original, but it looks cool. Malcolm McDowell, Bob Hoskins both great. I'll have to re-watch the trailer because imdb shows Alexander Siddig (McDowell's nephew by the way) in it, but I couldn't see him in the trailer. This could be great or it could suck, but I think I'll put my ten bucks in and take a chance.
Bloody retarded by BackwardGalaxy	Jan 16th, 2008 11:21:19 AM
Lowest common denominator much? How to make a Hollywood movie... Steal a bunch of concepts from good movies, add a hot car (shameless product placement much?), a hot girl, and a few explosions. Collect money from moron public who willingly spend their parents' hard earned cash on drivel.
what a disjointed mess by the last temptation of chris	Jan 16th, 2008 11:31:32 AM
That trailer looks wretched. I don't understand people's love of Dog Soldiers, though I did think that The Descent was a very smart horror film. This trailer makes me wonder if The Descent was a fluke.
Of course Americans NEVER rip stuff off by Dolmes	Jan 16th, 2008 11:32:58 AM
Neil Marshall rules! I am leg-end was awful. Rhona Mitra is a honey! :-D Peace out!
Yack, I think ALL of her deserves our accolades by just pillow talk	Jan 16th, 2008 11:41:35 AM
mustn't have the other parts get jealous of that wonderful ass. Sure, it looks like it's all been done before, but like Grammaton said, it's got Malcolm and Bob in it. It's definitely a rental.
No, us Yanks never rip stuff off. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 16th, 2008 11:42:11 AM
Three's Company, American Idol, The Weakest Link, The Office. All original shows.
proof by Staldo	Jan 16th, 2008 11:52:20 AM
this, along with Mad Max, is proof that, anywhere white people are left without technology or civilized infrastructure, they will voluntarily turn into eyeliner wearing bondage bikers and have weird gladiatorial matches for supremacy.
Sledge Hammer, yeah forgot about by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 16th, 2008 12:05:50 PM
Ultimate Warrior. Dumb title, good flick. Yul Brynner was in it for the uninformed, as was Conan's Dad. I forget the guy's name, but he's one of those character actors who's been in everything.
@staldo by ArcadianDS	Jan 16th, 2008 12:10:55 PM
you forgot The Postman. Also, Bartertown was run by a black woman so don't blame whitey for that whole Thunderdome policy.
Looks good! by kafka07	Jan 16th, 2008 12:33:05 PM
that brunette looks GOOD...oh and the movie does too.

We've seen this all a million times before!
Grammaton Cleric Binks... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 16th, 2008 12:42:08 PM
...the guy you're thinking of is William Smith, and yeah, he used to turn up everywhere back in the day, still does here and there. He was like Tracey Walter, Lance Henriksen and Tim Thomerson combined, before there even was a Tim Thomerson, Lance Henriksen and Tracey Walter gracing our screens and popping up all over the place. One of the great under-appreciated character actors. Speaking of The Ultimate Warrior, apparently it's out on region 2 dvd somewhere, so I think I'm going to have to track down a copy and import it...been waiting forever for a region 1 release, and my old video copy is well dead at this point. Yul Brynner, Max Von Sydow, William Smith and Stephen McHattie playing post apocalyptic, you can't tell me that 70's movies weren't cool.
I loved that chick in Ali G in Da House by Garbageman33	Jan 16th, 2008 12:42:33 PM
Which I enjoyed more than Borat, incidentally.

Looks like fun to me count me in. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Jan 16th, 2008 12:59:17 PM
It actually looks like it like was made in the 80's. That's a win for me. Looks VERY old school.
Oh my God, it looks like a movie! by Sledge Hammer	Jan 16th, 2008 01:05:29 PM
I've seen movies before! Just what kind of shit are they trying to fucking pull here?!

"Neil Marshall has yet to fuck up, this will be good" by therightclique	Jan 16th, 2008 01:27:45 PM
What!??!?! The Descent was a huge pile of dog shit. If you're an adult, you really should know better.
Have faith in the man... by StraightToHell	Jan 16th, 2008 01:39:22 PM
The first half of the trailer looked like stuff we've all seen before, but then the energy level went up 100% and it looks pretty spectacular. Just remember that it's hard to put across the energy level of the action scenes in the trailer. You have to see them whole to really get the feel for them. And both Dog Soldiers and The Descent had brilliantly intense and exciting action and horror scenes. I think ol' Neil will do just fine. And to those saying it's Escape from NY and Mad Max. And? All movies took prior material and reworked it in their own way. What's wrong with that? Just because something was done before, doesn't mean it can't be done again, as long as the new version is entertaining. Look at what James Cameron did with Aliens. Or what Michael Mann keeps doing with the crima genre. If you're good, and it's pretty obvious that Neil Marshall is REALLY good, then you can do anything, even if it's been done before. Don't underestimate this guy. The Descent was almost Kubrickian in it's beauty and weirdness. Neil puts all of the Eli Roths and PT Anderson's to shame. Can't wait for this one!
Hell Yeah by hemijack	Jan 16th, 2008 01:49:06 PM
looks awesome, need a Mad Max for the 21st century
synopsis by Staldo	Jan 16th, 2008 02:03:52 PM
Didn't we hear a synopsis of this movie before on this site, which basically tore it a new one for being shitty as hell and making no sense? Or was that another movie site I read that on?
Rhona Mitra by dastickboy	Jan 16th, 2008 02:16:19 PM
Always the hallmark of a quality production.
MandalorianSage:you are really crazy! by travis-dane	Jan 16th, 2008 02:27:22 PM
Your Posts allways make me laugh!I imagine how you come to a room full of dudes(TB´s)looking like a random dude and then start SCREAMING like an totaly INSANE fucker and then just leave!That is somehow cool.You crazy son of a gun you!
Originality?!? by Turtle_Z	Jan 16th, 2008 02:44:00 PM
Theres a lot of people going off on a tear about originality. But we don't LIKE originality and we've proven that again and again. If it's a bit like EFNW, so what? If it's a bit like Mad Max, so what? If it ticks the boxes what is the problem? If it comes out and it turns out to be shite, then I'll blart on about how much of a rip off it is, but thats not constructive critiscism right now. The trailer shows a cheesy action flick, designed for one purpose and thats FUN. Originality? Every Zombie film since Night of the Living Dead has cribbed from Romero. Does that mean 28 Days Later is derivative crap (It's not, by the way. It's awesome.) Star Wars and Star Trek have informed virtually every space/sci-fi movie and TV series made since, does that make Serenity shite? I'm not trying to defend a film I haven't seen yet, but leave originality out of it. This doesn't look like an originality film, this looks like a fun action movie. Hopefully, it'll bring it's own brand of beer to the party, but if it just brings a 6 pack of John Smiths I'll be just as happy.
Once inside they'll find two sides by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 16th, 2008 02:57:25 PM
The civilized survivors led by McDowell, a la Lance Henricksen (sp?) in No Escape, then the crazies led by a number one Duke Humongous.

That voice by i kick tits	Jan 16th, 2008 04:23:20 PM
It really boggles my mind to think of how many trailers feature this guy's voice narrating over them. I'm sure I have seen only a small fraction, but it has surely been enough to stain my memory forever. All I have to do is think about it, and I can hear his cliche droning echo throughout my mind.
wow... is it the 80's again? by metaluna	Jan 16th, 2008 04:36:11 PM

How do you go from directing THE DESCENT.. by -guyinthebackrow	Jan 16th, 2008 05:05:04 PM
... to that piece of shit? WTF?
Looks superb... by voxmortis	Jan 16th, 2008 05:15:58 PM
Anyone who disagrees has poor taste ;) The Brits are releasing the best films this decade - goodbye, Hollywood, it was nice knowing you.

The "caps lock" key is only 7/16th of an inch away from the "A" key. It's not that far away. Turn it off.
I'm In by skoobyx	Jan 16th, 2008 05:35:23 PM
'Dog Soldiers' and 'The Descent' were the schiznit. It looks a little low budget tho. Or is that crappy Yahoo video?
Hollywood Is Out Of Ideas by zooch	Jan 16th, 2008 05:46:42 PM
All movies that come out these days are mismashes of several different films combined into one.

That's "Indie"... by wadi77	Jan 16th, 2008 08:03:43 PM
Not Indy

Rhona Mitras tits are fantabulous
alright. by samsquanch	Jan 16th, 2008 08:33:33 PM
I'm in.
Rhona Mitra?! Oh, hell yes! by thebearovingian	Jan 16th, 2008 10:34:49 PM
She needs to do porn. Like, yesterday. For my money, she's right behind Monica Bellucci in the sexy-as-fucking-hell category.
Uwe Boll's Hammer by tehBIGIvan	Jan 16th, 2008 10:49:20 PM
Looks like another director wants to smash together different plots and characters without thoroughly exploring any of them.
WHAT. THE. FUCK. by Dr. Egon Spengler	Jan 16th, 2008 11:20:21 PM
Does anyone have an original idea anymore? ANYONE?!
OOO... she's so tough and authoritative!!! by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jan 16th, 2008 11:30:03 PM
Looks like it's ripped off pretty much every action flick between 1980 and 1989, including the TV series Knight Rider. In other words, it looks like crap, with a female lead. Oh, and Stark Industries... STOP HAWKING YOUR FANFILM!!! We get it already... >:(
Is there Only ONE announcer in LA? FUCK!!! by hatespeech	Jan 17th, 2008 01:19:49 AM

Rhona Mitra is Taking Underworld 3... by Mundungus	Jan 17th, 2008 01:51:27 AM
according to IMDB. For those of you who like your lycans and death dealers.
OK I know I shouldn't. by BenBraddock	Jan 17th, 2008 03:34:24 AM
But I think I'm going to have to see this one. Too.. weak.. to.. resist!
Looks like it's been shot by Albert Pyuns cinematographer... by Crawing	Jan 17th, 2008 04:28:23 AM
bugger me...had high hopes for this one.
RETURN OF THE STEEL GLOVE!!! by bennozoid1	Jan 17th, 2008 04:57:07 AM
I friggin' love Post-apocalyptic movies; especially those cruddy Italian ones...Yes it looks derivative, but I for one am 100% behind Mr Marshall. He is doing what most talkbackers WISH they were doing, and he's doing it a lot better than certain other shlep directors out there....I predict, in a matter of years, he'll be right on top of the Hollywood pile, taking a dump on Michael Bay as he calls action on a decent, watchable TRANSFORMERS sequel...
The Wasteland trash look a bit too Circ Du Soleil by KillaKane	Jan 17th, 2008 07:02:19 AM
Not quite as savage and threatening as the likes of Mad Max's marauding posse and EFNY's heavies. I'm not to keen on yet another female action lead, a tad played out and this particular wooden thespie-doll looks likes she'd have a hissy fit if she broke a nail or lost her lip gloss. Still gotta support Marshall, this could be a guilty pleasure and harken back the fun of the films it's obviously referencing. Certainly looks pretty...
Welcome to Glasgow baby by kuryakin	Jan 17th, 2008 08:17:59 AM
You know guys, I accept that this is set in the future and all but I really can't see any of the fat bastards I know & work with going in for the whole 'leather & feather' combo. I mean, I'm looking out the window now and it's fucking freezing, with a light rain falling. Does their immunity to the virus also provide them with immunity to the weather? Of all the weird places to choose to set this, Glasgow has got to be the weirdest
"Indy" vs. "Indie"... by Stark Industries	Jan 17th, 2008 08:20:23 AM
Sorry you didn't get the joke. It's a 'movie' site isn't it? Jeez...

Besides modelling Lara Croft, by skimn	Jan 17th, 2008 09:15:45 AM
Rhona got invisi-raped in Hollow Man. So there's some more geek cred...and this movie cries out for a mid summer night, a drive-in, an ice cold 6-pack, and some nice bud.
28 Years Later? Resident Evil: Aftermath? Lame? by rookie116	Jan 17th, 2008 09:32:02 AM
I'm not a big fan of Rhona Mitra's acting either.
Didn't Malcom McDowell by skimn	Jan 17th, 2008 09:42:44 AM
play this same role in ......Tank Girl?? God, If..., Clockwork Orange, Oh Lucky Man, seem like a million years ago.
Skinny Chicks in Combat by zinc_chameleon	Jan 17th, 2008 03:54:45 PM
Where did anyone get the idea that being big and muscular is any real advantage in a serious fight? Compare skinny little Bruce Lee to Arnold, and you'll get the point. Now maybe Rhona Mitra doesn't have the upper body strength she should have for this, but speed and agility will beat raw brute power any day of the week.
Shame on you Harry, by Lemming	Jan 17th, 2008 04:50:47 PM
AVP2 you had hopes for yet a proven Director of two great horror movies you have doubts about thinking it might be 'Hackish laziness'? Where'd that come from?
zinc_chameleon, by Lemming	Jan 17th, 2008 04:52:29 PM
Bruce Lee might have been 'skinny' but the dude had muscles you could bounce coins off still. Did you forget the monstrous six-pack the dude had?
Break A Deal FACE THE WHEEL!!!! by Phenom	Jan 17th, 2008 05:54:13 PM
Worst. Movie. Ever.
First half looked good by oreopimp	Jan 17th, 2008 09:52:29 PM
...really good...but jesus, the second half looks like a really bad mad max rip off. Is the villain a post infected post op glam rock star? Also, why go the mad max route, why not go with, I dont know, something that fits the first half of the movie.
