I didn't watch the trailer but who are the bad guys? North Korea? Al Qaeda (sp?)?

No way this movie will ever hold a candle to the 80's classic.

Meh, what's next in the line of 80s remakes?

First Blood with Andrew Garfield as Rambo?
The Terminator with Daniel Craig as The Terminator and Mara Rooney as Sarah Connor?
Pale Rider with Keanu Reeves replacing Clint Eastwood?
Amadeus with Idris Elba as Mozart?
Blade Runner with Will Smith as Deckard?
RoboCop with Joel Kinnaman as the title chara-oh wait.

An alien invasion of the US is more probable and realistic than a North Korean invasion. :/

A few questions...

1. Where exactly is North Korea invading from in this movie? What state is being invaded? Texas? And if so, how did they get into Mexico in order to set this up in the first place?

2. How did North Korea get an airforce even off their own runways without US Satellites seeing them?

3. How did they get anywhere near the US borders without alerting the US?

IT just doesn't seem feasible without some goofy Alien Intelligence stuff through in...

Josh Peck? Haven't seen that guy in forever and he shows up in an action movie?

I've never seen the original, but this looks interesting.

I find the whole premise ridiculous. I know John Milius is stuck in the Reagan Era, and but the red scare hasn't scared anyone since St. Ronnie left office. This movie should have been left in 1984.

It will be a decent action flick...hardly the epic film of our time ,but I'll probably enjoy it.

And as it has already been pointed out the enemy force was originally Chinese,but they changed it to North Koreans to avoid taking a hit in sales. Which they will anyway because making it North Korea isn't exactly going to make it okay to the chinese audience anyway.

The original from the 1980s was extremely dumb. Somehow, this looks even worse.

As someone else said, an alien invasion is more likely than a North Korean invasion. The North Koreans have 1950s era military technology and are on the verge of starvation.

The movie had already been filmed by that point....they need some kind of return

i felt very underwhelmed by it.

at first i thought "it's China?" then i saw the North Korean star and figured it out and quickly thought this is Homefront the movie.

I would love to see a occupation-resistance movie set in a hypothetical future America, where the USA got pounded hard not by a series of nukes or some crazy effective EMP, but rather by an efficient and powerful enemy army. perhaps one that the US completely under-estimated. a story that also explored the dark side of resistance, and it's not completely all about propogonda pushing "fightin' for the stars and stripes!".

I would actually love to see that movie.

this is not that movie though.

Looks interesting, not as good as the original but it looks entertaining to watch.

i'm sure it will be a fun little movie about shyt blowing up. not as good as the original but how do you find a 21st century version of the brat pack? they just don't exist.

Yeah I think I'll watch the original movie instead.

I have doubts about this film. North Korea would never have the capacity to invade the United States and their technology is outdated compared to the United States military. Unless However there's a plot twist to how North Korea obtained such a weapon that could damage the United States.

Also what made the original film work was that the Wolverines were a bunch of teenagers with some firearm experience. This film just gives us a full grown Marine and a bunch of other guys that are probably soldiers. Also the Soviet Union was a legitimate threat at the time. North Korea is just a hermit kingdom back then and now.

I know, I know use your imagination but I can't imagine North Korea invading us. Maybe China. Or Russia. You know there should be a film where all of the world declares war on the United States. Now that would be a good film.

Even China makes no sense. They only have one expeditionary division, which would be easily wiped out by the US military, even with some crazy EMP weapon coming into play like in the trailer. China's strategy for attacking other superpowers has always centered around ICBMs.

Even the USSR in the original made absolutely no sense. The Russians never had a way to invade the US. They didn't have much of a navy, their airforce would never have been able to deliver enough troops and supplies and didn't have the range to complete return trips, and they had no bases in the western hemisphere other than Cuba, which was under a US embargo. Their strategy always involved nuking the US with ICBMs while invading Western Europe. They had no ability to invade the US and never had any plans to do so.

The whole premise of Red Dawn is stupid. It always was stupid. It will always be stupid. No one wants to invade our crappy country.

it had a long sci fi-ish explanation for how north america could get invaded that involved nato breaking up and the entire warsaw pact rolling up through mexico.

You base this upon what?

I'll rent it eventually, that's for sure
