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?
