So what do you guys think of the national guard clip? I think it was great! I loved how the aliens were just poping out of no where, it was very amthospheric.
i liked it but i don't have any sound on my comp I would have liked to hear it
The millitary isn't portrayed as incompetent /evil is it?
Seemed like a good scene to me. If that's the extent of that segment, then I would have liked to have seen more of the Aliens swarming the vehicles and tanks, but I liked the brief snippets of action combined with hearing the chaos on the radio.
it did seem liek it had a few off screen killing but w/e
No, they aren't shown as evil, but they aren't any more competent than the marines from Aliens.
it seems that if the aliens are crouching, they cannot be seen, but once they stand up they are totally visible.

I hate that kind of approach. It's almost like, as long as the camera doesn't see them, they aren't there. Then, shazam! They appear from somewhere that should have been completely visible to the people in the scene. The one that rises outside the car...where the hell was it a moment before that the soldier couldn't see it?
It's okay, me and SiL were talking about this last night. I came to the conclusion that:
A)The floor was all hived up but cloaked by Chet so they didn't see it - she got a hold of some Pred tech.
B)The aliens come from an underground canal system, like the one Chet uses to appear in the sewer fight.
Damn, I thought the Alien might have been all scrunched up inside the wheel housing of the car. That would have totally rocked my world!
I've just got the greatest ideas!!! It was the tire! That's how it snuck into town!

Makes as much sense as a lot of the other ideas, so why not?!

Well, we know they roll - DNA War - so why not? It's perfect!

Imagine in Alien, instead of the creature coming down from above Brett, it just rose up from behind him. That would have made a whole lot less sense. Maybe it's the shoddy editing but it looks like the Aliens are literally appearing out of nowhere. Perhaps it's supposed to make them seem more deadly and mysterious. =/

I sort of like that approach. It's nighttime, dark and rainy out. Everyone is on edge, and out of nowhere, they start popping out and killing each soldier one at a time.
It made the aliens look scary, it was very amthospheric. The military tried to stop the aliens, but meanwhile getting ambushed by behind!
