This is a film produced by Peter Jackson. A new trailer was just released. Looks pretty action like. Who knows, maybe it will be an alternative to people who hate Michael Bay and Transformers.

Looking forward to it. Enjoyed all Blomkamp's shorts that I've seen.

Hey, that's me!

But yeah that/those bot things do look like transformers. I'm sure they're quite not, though, but they look like them.

Looks interesting. Wait... produced by Peter Jackson? That just means he threw money at it, right? At first I read it as he was directing, and that gave the movie instant cred. Now I'm much more skeptical.

Ive heard that Peter Jackson is making this movie with that other guy to show off their potential so they can make a Halo movie.

Actually, a producer credit usually means a lot more than just throwing money at a project. Usually it means that the person is overseeing every aspect of the production of the film. He may not have a hand in the exact script or how the shots look, but if something isn't going right the producer can definitely have things changed.

I think this movie looks awesome.

I'm too lazy to elaborate, but this looks like...I dunno....10 times better than any of the crap that has come out this summer.

He's a wizard at combing CGI with reality.

And my favorite:

This is the first trailer I've seen in almost forever (so long!) that actually gained my interest simply from the commercial, and how they marketed it.

It looks super interesting to me, and I plan on seeing this. Hands down.

That Citroën commercial reminded me of the Cameron Terminator doing ballet in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. That was weird but oh so interesting.

The movie looks good, could be awesome. I'll wait for reviews.
