Looks like the type of movie that just might please a lot of different fan bases. I'm pretty excited, but.....I got really really excited for Cloverfield (which I enjoyed, but thought it lacked monster, there can never be enough monster), so I won't get my hopes up just yet. Anybody else excited for this?

This looks like the greatest movie ever made!

It's funny, because on paper (or whatever) it's inches away from "Battleship", which everyone hated...

...but yeah, I agree with you!

HAW! Never thought of that, but yeah.... 'Course I think that's 'cos both are pretty basic alien invasion films. The problem with Battleship is that you come in with WAY too much expectation; mostly that it's gonna blow 'cos they're really reaching for a tie-in. You'd have the same problem if they'd called this one "DDR: The Movie." (Which you TOTALLY could....)

MY only concern with this one is that they're gonna pretend there's a plot and spend WAY too much time on stuff like the arbitrary love story, or the inevitable "old guard passing the torch" plot, or how the daring young hero is a total screwup at the beginning but finally knuckes under to save the world....

I've watched the trailer like 10 times now and can't help but think about the rumours before Cloverfield came out- "I saw it, It's a lion, It's Huge".

yeah, the combo of GDT, Monsters and Robots is a can't miss.

Yeah, the tie-in didn't help. I still haven't seen "Battleship", so I'm still not sure if it's a dumb fun movie or a dumb dumb movie. There's still a chance I might enjoy it for how ridiculous it is.
