I made the mistake of reading the novel first. The movie sucks compared to the novel. Spielberg dumbed it down for the kiddies which IMO made it suck. I hate it!

well I watched because of the technical achievements. Whether you hate it or not, those Dinosaurs on the Big screen looked awesome!!

Rappy : thanks :D

There's no doubt about that. The CGI ILM used at that time was and even still is spectacular.

Regarding this film. I'm not sure. Is the film going to be from the view point of the characters? or is that something they're doing just for the trailers? I think the film will bomb if it is from the characters' point of view. I don't mind the one-handed camera trick for some scenes, but for an entire film, it will get very annoying very quickly. So far, I'm not impressed with what I've seen. It doesn't look like anything new to me. I loved The Host, very good film, and this seems like an American remake IMO.

The whole film is going to be on hand held. So basically the POV of the Characters, or mostly POV of the character holding the Camera.

Wow.. awesome trailer. Finally saw a part of the Monster. We now know it's green :D

Don't think it's an American remake of The Host, as there's a separate page for an in-development movie of the same name: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0896037/

So what is it then?...

I didn't really mean it is a remake, I'm just saying that's what it looks like to me. Similar anyway. I'll probably still see the film, but I'm no where near as excited about this as what some of you seem to be.

Somebody specifically said they thought it looked like a remake of The Host, so that's who I was replying to. Not you ;)

hmmm.. so how would it work though. If the victim is bitten, the diease will carry along the bloodstream of the victim. How would that make something in the stomach? hmmmm.... Alien-wise, it works cause of the face hugger, that implants the seeds directly into your stomach. hmmmm.

Maybe it makes them into the walking dead or something like that, so they are infected and when they come in contact with others makes them exactly the same way, I mean one shot I posted earlier shows the woman bleeding out of her eyes.

well the disease might spread like that, that's why alot of people are in containment. But what would make that creature in the stomach of the person?

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?

      Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
