YAY! I'm so glad i've been hearing such good news about it. I'm going to see it tomorrow. :D

The only thing that I dont think i'll like is that the Aliens look like giant cockroaches. ><

Lies, they look friendly. Just wait till you see the child one, you won't think they look like funny lil' bugs anymore! (You'll think the lil one is cute at least.. I hope)

Well its the brownish/grey shell-like insect cockroach look of them altogether. Not saying they dont look friendly. I just think that movie makers could be a little more creative with an alien species.

Also the armor thing I saw looks too much like a Transformers, G.I Joe thing. XD But thats just me.

You have a point, but you don't see many insect like aliens that are actually friendly. As for the Mech Suit thing... kinda looks like something from what you mentioned.... but it has a life of its own( in the way it moves and acts).

Yea, your right about the friendly part. I'm just anxious to see it tomorrow. The graphics looked really nice in the previews.

they don't look anything like cockroaches.

if I had to compare them to an invertebrate, I'd say they remind me more of lubbers mixed with mantids and/or shrimp. and some cephalopod thrown in for good measure (the eyes, mouth-tentacles, fingers)

Well i've only seen the previews, so thats all i've got to base it off of.

also, as far as the mech goes, it's basically a giant battle suit built by the aliens. so yeah it's pretty much like every other giant battle suit ever made in scifi out there - it's just a giant, badass, gun-toting version of the creatures that built it ;]

here's some more pictures of the aliens, if you want to look:

Yea, I understand the point about the mech.

Sorry, but they still look a little like cockroaches to me. XD I can see where you get the shrimp and cepholopod, but still.

I think I just look too close at athropods for me to see the relation, lol

Lol, I dont know.
