Hey all I need advice should I buy a 720p screen or 1080p one for 32" size for playing ps3. Im in a confusion because no ps3 games are fullhd yet and at this screen size no real difference anyway. Although tvs are 768p or some crap so basically asking will 720p games look better at 768p than 1080p screen because that seems a hell of alot less scaling. I recently bought 24" 1080p monitor and thinking I shouldve bought tv with 720p (768p) screen like the LNA450

Honestly only the initial premise sounds that unusual and the actual plot of the film sounds like it will be a fairly standard sci-fi chase flick.

what interesting about the plot is that it foreshadows and reflects on apsects of racism, prejudism, and ethnic crime. Ya get me? enforcing racism agianst them, yet restraining them to us for our benefit.

Here's something fun to know... District 9, Nine, and 9 are all different movies coming out in 2009. Roffles. I'm personally excited for 9 and Avatar though. Now those two are looking AWESOME!

It looks all right, though I don't like how the film takes place in Johannesburg. It makes the movie an obvious reference to Aparteid. Meh.

Humans oppressing aliens and using them for slave labour all the while the humans are the ones who are technologically inferior. I think...

Looks okay. It even has it's own phone number attached that you can call to report non-human sightings.

One of my favorite Hollywood stories is about the pitch meeting for V. The guy who came up with the idea for the miniseries wanted it to be a fascist takeover of USA by Nazis. He was talking, saw that people's attention was wondering and they were about to cut him off and just on the spot said "But the Nazis... are from space!" Suddenly, people were paying attention again and BAM, V was made :P

Although tvs are 768p or some crap so basically asking will 720p games look better at 768p than 1080p screen because that seems a hell of alot less scaling. I recently bought 24" 1080p monitor and thinking I shouldve bought tv with 720p (768p) screen like the LNA450 CurryMcFlurry

It looks like it has great potential to be a good movie, but like all movies it could just be the way the commercial makes it. But regardless of that fact I'm going to keep my hopes high....Plus I love it when the guy tries to fire a rocket launcher at the ship and that one alien just catches it mid air, that was really sweet.

nope, hes producing it, a brand new guy is directing.

But it does look interesting, ill wait for reviews.

Personally I think reviewers are out of touch. I don't care if a movie doesn't have a plot and is action filled it is MUCH more entertaining and therefore transformers is better than star trek.

I agree that its storyline reminds me a bit of Alien Nation. Looks a bit stupid but if you just want entertainment, action, whatever, then this is right up your alley.

this i sa video detailing the aliens reproductive system....

later they say the parent has no emotional attachment to the young one, im thinking its a lie created by the MNU so they can excuse killing alien babies to control the population.

I might see it, it looks okay. The only "9" movie I really looking forward to is Nine with Daniel Day Lewis and Marion Cotillard.
