    I read the short graphic novel this is based upon after watching the trailer and am looking forward to it. It's got a nice cast and I cannot wait to see what they've done with the invading aliens.

    Oh, it will have Apaches. I cannot imagine that they'll be using
    flying
    horses
    on horse shoes made of alien metal
    , but they have to be in the story.

    Pretty good.

    I still think of Jon Favreau as that Ultimate Fighting Champion/billionaire software guy on Friends.

    You could have at least read the synopsis on Wikipedia before judging it. ;)

    Interesting trailer.. I have to say the title is corny, but hey Daniel Craig's character has some serious hardware on his left wrist..very cool.

    Wow. Ford, Craig, and Wilde is the most win combination EVER! I actually can't wait to see this.

    Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig are in it, whom I can't and won't stand in a movie. The concept however is very stupid. It was stupid when Star Trek Enterprise did it, and these guys aping that episode is stupid now.


    Plus I despise cowboy anything.

    I think this movie looks like a sleeper hit. Based on a basically under the radar independent comic one-shot. It's got great talent in front of the camera in Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. Talent directing in John Favreau and his bosses the producers in Executive Producer Steven Spielberg and Producers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.

    I think anyone foolish enough to dismiss this as a campy mashup is seeing what they want to see and not the actual trailer. The trailer is taking a very serious tone.

    I heard the title a while back and was expecting something very campy, but this is a totally different turn! Looks kinda interesting though.

    Looks like a cool spin on alien invasion stories. The title sounds like a cheesy B-movie, but the movie itself is lookin' decent enough.

    Wish the alien ships looked a little more creative.
