Guest joshier Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah, anyone who says that's a shit film must be out of their mind. From the standard of quality from youtube you get these days, this is the fucking business compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 That was absolutely brilliant. Screw the fact that he used sound effects from HL2, because that's not important. The important thing is that he has managed to create a short movie with way more atmosphere to it than most flat Hollywood action movies. I would watch it even if it was 1½ hour, and I don't care about the missing dialogue. All they he would have to change were the costumes, the sound effects, and the special effects.

Guest Gary C Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 By the way, if all of you are looking for a "realistic" and truly alien representation of extraterrestrial life then you should all read 'Solaris' by Stanislav Lem and, to a lesser degree, go see the films.

The original Russian one or the George Clooney one? The George Clooney one by Stephen Soderbergh has the most brilliant soundtrack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Still haven't seen the Russian version, but I personally enjoyed the Hollywood film more than the book. It can get pretty heavy, and it doesn't help that it's translated from Polish. The soundtrack is epic. Haven't listened to it in a while actually, it's about time.

Guest joshier Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Right just finished watching it (hollywood film). yeah it is pretty good but I will have to mention that although the book may not have stated it, the film pushed the fact across that the guy (george cloony) wasn't happy until he was with the girl. But come on.. humans move on. Our brains are developed so that we can move on for shit that happens, otherwise we'd all be constantly depressed. He totally should have got on the escape pod and got back to earth to find a different fuckable chick, i mean come on. It must be said though that it makes a good point that *some* people are like that and constantly fixed on one idea. Personally I'm not one of those people so I was annoyed by george cloonys role.

chaosmachine Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 this d-9 trailer really reminds me of another video i saw years ago about androids in africa (a short sci-fi thing with really good cgi).. i can't find it now, though :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stoppit Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 i'm a bit confused...why is the alien's face pixelised? is that their idea of spoiler-prevention? what's the point in pixelising it? you already know it's an alien...it's like pixelising the iceberg in titanic so you don't know what's hit the ship... ...unless they're a race of 8-bit aliens....

Nope, I don't understand your viewpoint. He was clearly wildly in love with the girl, and she committed suicide due to him being a bit of a douche and her being a nut. Plus, it's never told how much time occurs between her suicide and his arrival on the ship. The whole point is that his memories and manifestations are merging constantly, so that he's essentially reliving and rewriting the events. The ending is the realisation of this as he decides to assimilate with the planet/alien and live whatever "reality" he chooses. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Also, there's Snow. He doesn't imagine a lost loved-one. He manifests himself. Edit: Also, if he stays he can screw the most perfect woman he can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
