But you give Whitley Strieber a pass?!

Well, I know who Art Bell is. I have no idea who Whitley Strieber is, though. Guess I'll have to look it up, now.

In 1985 Strieber's Communion, a non-fiction account of his abduction by extra-terrestrials became a best-seller, and his career took an expected turn: he became a UFO expert.

ROTFLMAO!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's too bad that Streiber went all x-files with Communion and Transformation. Wolfen and The Hunger are still my favorite werewolf and vampire novels.
 

OK, I've sen it.

We quite enjoyed ourselves. Fun movie. No more, no less.

Nothing really irked me (except the wolves, but thanks to you guys, I was warned so I wasn't disapointed). I always liked Dennis Quaid (especially in DOA), so just seing him on screen is a plus for me.

I don't understand peeps saying it was a total load of crap. But, hey, opinions are like bung holes, everybody's got one. ;)

Sadly he was an interesting writer before he lost his mind. :)

What a movie, it deserves a big 5...out of 10.

It was enjoyible. The wolves ar ejust silly, but play such a small an unimportnat roll in the movie it didn't even matter. THe enviromental message was at the beginning and at the end, but it really wasn't that bad. It wasn't even close to being heavy handed, since it was a movie about the enviroment.

It was an okay movie, the sciuence wasn't great but in these movies it never is. The running from the cold was amusing.
 

The wolves were stupid! Air can't do that! The science was hooey!

Fie! I say. Fie!

I went and saw the movie with my 7-year-old son Christopher. He liked the movie, except for the boring, let's talk about books while we burn them scenes. He thought the wolves were cool and scary. He expressed concern when people left the library, noting that they were going to freeze to death like the helicopters. He especially liked the fact that the father was so brave and saved his son, and that the son was so brave and saved his friends. When we got home, he drew pictures of North America covered with snow.

As for me? I liked going to the movie with my son.

The place I laughed was when the US headed South to Mexico and the Mexican Army stopped them. Then the two presidents chatted & sorted it out.

The first thing the Mexican president would have seen was his welcome to the US and congrats your the 52nd state message. I suspect the Texas national guard could take the Mexican Army.
 

By agreeing to erase all Latin American debts. (Heh heh heh) Good one. ("You can't come north. You can't come north. Oops! We're freezing! Can we come south? ........ How much?!?!?")

Fun movies for the effects and I was glad to have been walking past the cheap theatre and noticed the $4 matinee price today. The wolves didn't bother me any more than the wargs in LotR. :D

If someone is going to see this at all, I suggest catching it on a big screen. I don't think this is one for the DVD collection unless you have a significant home theatre. I doubt this will be as impressive on a standard sized screen.

Glad I saw it, though. :)

The wolves weren't totally CGI. If you stayed through the credits, it listed the wolf trainers and handlers. You don't need those for CGI, even under Hollywood's militant union regulations.
 

This movie sufficiently amused me. I could never muster any sympathy for the main characters; instead I was rooting for the CGI destruction. The only thing that bothered me about the wolves is that they didn’t eat anyone. Polar bears would have been a big improvement.

Overall I’d give it a 7 out of 10. Maybe not a great movie . . . but certainly enjoyable.
