To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I just saw this new trailer and looks interesting, almost reminds me of that movie Alien Nation with Roddy Piper 🙂
I haven't gotten around to seeing this movie yet, has anyone here seen it give a thumbs up/down on the movie and whether it is worth adding to the BlueRay collection?
It's a fantastic movie.
One of the few that lived up to the hype for me this year.
I will definitely be adding it to my BluRay collection, and actually want to see it again this week if I have time.. 🙂
Comes out on Tuesday cannot wait 🙂
It very different style of movie. I realy like it. No US Hero thing so refreshing. More natural reaction. Nice effect and action. Lookin out for the BR to.
But I also do like over the top hero stuff like Rambo4.
watching some of the extras, it said that most of the lines were ad lib.
So'd you watch it yet, D1? What'd you think? Great fun, yes?
I liked the documentary still filming of the movie and the concept. There were some parts I didn't care for like the Nigerians. But I would like to have seen more of what the government was up to in the experiments. I really hope a sequel is made. The next one you would think would be a lot more action packed than the first. But the director did a good job of setting up the second film and the overall story was told well.
Well bought the BR and rewatch it. Yah great movie. My dad was impressed to. Saw it for the first time. Cool action.
They did a good job on the cgi aliens as well, they talked about a prequel to the movie but i would much rather them continue the story.
District 9 was my favourite film of last year. The only film that surpassed my expectations. I remember sitting in the cinema giggling/snickering my head off at all the cool deaths and inventive tech, including the infamous gravity-gun pig blaster! 😀
Kudos for the Alien Nation comparison, Darkone. While I haven't seen the film (I haven't seen the Buffy film either) it was one of my favourite shows back in the day. Long live the Tenctonese! 😎
There are a couple of things I still remember from this movie, that human controlled robot and the *realistic* aliens. They sure did have some quality stuff in it. The story left a lot of room for a sequel, hope they'll make one.
I rather see both a sequel and prequel.

It gets on my nerves when movie companies talk about prequels. Why can't they make that movie from the beginning and work it into a sequel? I think District 9 would have been even better if we saw it from the beginning on how they got their up until the start of the first movie.
