I was already sold on the film, but after reading that same notation, I'm there at the first showing when/if it hits Vegas.

Loved it, surprised more people here aren't seeing this. There was a lot of hype within genre communities and the word of mouth has been pretty good.
I also felt it compared to Super 8 in many ways, not besting it nor inferior to it. Both films threw the same steak on the grill but seasoned it differently. My two favorite films I've seen this summer season.

This was probably the most fun I've had this year at the movies... Starts off slower, but builds really well.

Saw it at midnight last night in the Cine Capri and I loved every second of it! An incredibly entertaining and funny sci-fi/action film that is just a flat-out blast. Outside of Super 8, this is the most fun I've had at the movies all year! I'm hoping more people go to see it while it's in theaters. It plays best in a movie theater.

I swore I thought I saw on a bluray website the movie is coming out in October on home video - given how limited the theatrical release is/was.

Saw it a couple weeks ago and loved it. It's everything Super 8 should have been.

Saw this movie today after reading a lot of positive reviews. All i can say is avoid this movie at all costs. Truly terrible. Feels like a poor high school project. It was authentic how they got the scumbags of London close to how they are in real life with that stupid way of talking as if everyone is black.

This is a great little movie. Haven't had this much fun at the movies in a while.

The plot line had some fun moments, but I had a hard time getting into it. The characters were entertaining in the same manner that Ali G is entertaining. The filmmakers made heavy-handed attempts to get us to understand and relate to the characters; however they failed, leaving us with completely unsympathetic caricatures.

this was a pretty good little horror gem. expected more humor, but happily surprised by the suspenseful nature and good acting. very nicely done.
