Another nice looking horror/sci-fi with a good cast. I love scary space movies. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Kinda reminds me of the Thing. I'll check this out.

So I'm watching the Credits roll now. Why can I say? It's a good year for Space Thrillers. I liked this a lot. Good cast. Feels a little bit like 28 Days Later on Mars.... which isn't a bad thing.

They don't delve too deep into the "whys" of everything, but its a pretty straight forward movie, and I was able to enjoy the ride without any plot devices bugging me.

While it falls into that "space thriller" genre, it couldn't be more different than the other two worthwhile space flicks this year (Europa Report and Gravity). All great for different reasons.

FYI, I rented this for $7 on VUDU.

Now, there's a space movie with Christian Slater on the moon or something... I don't want to ruin my awesome streak.

Solid Snake

Lol.

"Kuffs in Space"

Uh oh. That Slater movie is on Netflix now. May have to chance it...

How did I not know about this one? Looks great.

Mr. Salty

Really? It looks like a shot-for-shot remake of "Alien."

SuckaMC

Its nothing like Aliens. Not movie of the year, but definitely worth a watch if you like the genre. I liked it.

Solid Snake

Sarcasm?

RocShemp

Although certainly not shot-for-shot, I do see certain parallels to Alien (which I assume is the movie Mr. Salty really meant). However, the trailer makes it seem well done and therefor I am intrigued.

Solid Snake

I can see those parallels to Alien. And that's fine. But it seems different enough from it that it does intrigue. I really dig the cast in this type of setting which is what attracts me more.

DaveyJoe

Let's hope it's more like Alien and less like Prometheus.

Solid Snake

Well it looks like we don't got some tough ass geologist that pussies out immediately and a zoologist that is stupid as fuck. So..that's a good sign, no?

SuckaMC

Everyone is pretty on the ball. You got one "too excited" scientist that kinda kicks it all off, but given the discovery, its understandable.

SuckaMC

I'm watching the Slater movie Stranded.... streak terminated... Stick with Last Days on Mars. I'm doing this for you fine folks.

Edit: Heehee, this Stranded movie is pretty hilarious. Might have to recommend this on the absurdity of it alone. I'm talking space-bacteria-baby crazy.

Solid Snake

I'm sorry for your loss.

Mr. Salty

Yes, sorry for the typo! I've corrected it my post.

Why So Blu?

I watched this last night and was thoroughly entertained! Great effects and good performances by Liev Schreiber, Romola Garai, and Olivia Williams.

I was actually caught off guard that this would have but it worked.

The Blu-ray looks and sounds fantastic.

Yavin

I saw this recently as well. I vaguely remember some reviews back in December trashing the film, but it was a decent sci-fi/horror genre pic. Very Alien-esque ... if you substitute space truckers and an Alien with scientists and a parasite, the two films are identical in many ways.

3.5 out of 5.

I've posted a full review here.

SuckaMC

I will eventually pick this up on Vudu probably. Still really liked it.

mewmartigan

Got this from Redbox last night and really enjoyed it. I went into it almost totally blind except knowing that "something bad happens". So I was surprised when

Why So Blu?

Yep, I watched this with some friends and we all let out a "oh shit" in unison. We knew we were in for some cool shit from that point on!
