It's just a bunch of crock. They're trying to sell sodas. It's plain and simple. Been watching these reports since morning, and I have seen twelve soda commercials so far.
TWELVE!>>320823It really is. It was a great choice to limit the viewers' information about what's actually happening in the movie. It makes you feel like you're trapped in the same situation as the characters. It adds a ton to the horror aspect. The music helps too, of course. I think it's probably the best alien invasion movies I've seen next to the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

>>320850Even ol' M. Night Shyamalan did a good job being the guy who accidently killed Mel's wife in the film. Not the biggest fan of the twist but it still did its job of purposfully underwhelming the audience.

This film was a fun film, shame ol' M. Pajeet became far worse at writing/directing later on, at least the bad films are still fun to watch.

Does anyone else remember the promotional TV documentary they aired around the time the movie came out? I remember it being shown on the History Channel for some weird reason.
No.321302
>>321254Was it about crop circles?
No.321303
>>321302Maybe part of it was, but it was focused on the movie and its filming. It seems strange to me that the History Channel showed something like that, although even back in the early 2000s they showed occasional paranormal stuff on shows like History's Mysteries. This I remember being different in that it just seemed like it was made to encourage viewers to go watch the movie.

>>324562Just dunking on streaming shows.
They introduce random questions and purposely go out of there way to not answer them by filling with a chase or dialogue. Then they wrap up all the questions at the end by giving the weak answers, and when they all get answered at once, that's considered the show's seasonal climax. There's no actual climax to the story. It's just the end when they decide to dunk the audience in answer juice. There's usually even more questions thrown in if it's going to continue to another season.
Basically it's a method for inducing binge watching. They don't want you to pull up the highest rated episodes and watch those. They want you to just sit there and have it auto-play. Why a completed show still gets weekly release rate is beyond retarded except in the subscription model to keep people subbed for 2 months at the minimum.
No.324577
>>324567Yeah, agree with that. I have noticed that most streaming shows now just feel like watching an extremely bloated movie. They don't feel like TV shows with properly plotted out episodes. They feel like 8 hour movies that were chopped up at random.

>>323564>A species capable of interstellar travel doesn't understand the concept of an immune system<Great endingIt's exactly as ridiculous as allowing themselves to be exposed to water when it kills them, because it's the same thing. Really the aliens in Signs were somewhat smarter, it's actually possible to walk planet earth without coming into contact with liquid water.
No.327297
>>327281Microbes aren't obvious in the way vast oceans of liquid water are. And in the book, it's explicitly stated that there are no bacteria on Mars, meaning the Martians didn't know to check for Earthly bacteria. Plus you're ignoring how thematic the ending is. Mankind is totally helpless throughout the story. When the Earth is saved, it's not due to any great heroism, but only to sheer dumb accident. Martian science was unable to overcome the uncaring cruelty of the universe any more than Earthly science was. It was basically Lovecraftian before Lovecraft.
No.327299
>>327297So in other words, the movie sucked because of Germ Theory propaganda which redditors believe despite hating.
No.327307
>>327297>You don't understand it makes sense because of a retarded conceit the author inventedWell the Signs aliens' planet clearly had no water, so they'd obviously also have no warning in the exact same way - again they're both equally dumb because it's literally the same thing, not taking precautions against the ubiquitous dangerous contaminants that an alien planet would obviously have.
If we give idiot logic a pass because it was dramatically satisfying (I actually do do this), then thanks for giving Signs a pass too. The ending was great, best presentation of serendipity and providence of any film I can think of.

No.328417
>>328317Stop shilling your own crap
No.330080
>>327307Except this comparison doesn't work. Water is plainly visible from space, and microscopic contaminants are not. Even if you have no concept of water, you can see it and investigate what it is. But if you have no concept of microscopic contaminants, and you can't see them, then you cannot investigate them or take precautions against them. When you're talking about an alien world, taking anything for granted is retarded. It's not going to be obvious that there will be contaminants when you've never even heard of that.
Also, the Martians aren't some vast, spacefaring empire with experience of many planets with many conditions. They're just desperate blobs who sealed themselves into canisters and shot themselves out of a big cannon to the next planet over. The aliens from Signs have actual spaceships, they've presumably done actual space exploration and have had the chance to encounter water or ice before. There's simply far less excuse.
