The theater trailer for the March release is now available.
The war machine actually looks like a war machine, the English army actually uses period weapons and uniforms, and the scenes are identifiable.

God save us. Oh please save us from this. Why can't people just accept what was done and instead of making a remake that is going to be horribly made, make something new and market it to the sci-fi channel. At least then we will all know its craph and won't have to waste $8.00 to find out.

I wonder when they are going to do a remake of the Forbidden Planet, or the Day The Earth Stood Still?

Are any movies of today not remakes of, rip-offs of or "inspired by" another movie/series/comic?

Are you aware there are in fact 2 versions coming out. The low budget version and the Steven Spielberg effort, starring Tom Cruise?. I read the aliens use tripods but they aren't martians.

Sequels and ripoffs are a much 'safer' form of income than original pictures, being as that while they rarely succeed bigtime they usually succeed financially.

AT, I refer you to this re-qoute 'The war machine actually looks like a war machine, the English army actually uses period weapons and uniforms, and the scenes are identifiable.'

In other words, there's hope.

That was a great line wasn't it? I loved that.

Still prefer the Season 7 Finale quote.

SG1 with booze in Jack O'Neill's front room
Drunk Daniel: "Oh come on, Teal'c Is the Deepest Guy I know, Say something Deep teal'c, I bet you won't even understand this!"

Teal'c "My Depth is Immaterial to this Conversation..."
Jack: "No more drink for you Daniel!"

Or something along those lines

I like the quote someone around here has.
While starting the Prometheus.

O'Neil: Inertial dampeners?
Carter: Check
O'Neil: Phasers?
Carter: Sorry sir.

Ahem...not to be pedantic, but it was actually (if my memory is correct) when they were first flying the X-302, not the Prometheus. The quote goes:

Carter: Inertial dampeners?
O'Neil: Cool....and check. Phasers?
Carter: Sorry, sir.
