Depends on the movie and how crowded it is. I've gotten friends in like 15 deep before a couple times.

@Tony - I usually work from 5pm to close. My days vary but I work like 90% of the time Fri, Sat, and Sun. I'm actually off tomorrow though. Just ask for me.

That goes for any of the Seattle folks.

If you like Sci-Fi movies and/or you like Action movies there is no reason you shouldn't see this movie.

I think it is fair to compare it to sci-action movies like Aliens and Predator.

It did a fantastic job of integrating the CGI. It isn't on some Jar Jar Binks lookin cartoony bullshit. When you have a person standing next to a CGI alien and it looks like they belong together they've done a good job.

It was also impressive from the perspective that they could make you feel for an alien and not have to make it some humanoid/furry ewok lookin thing.

It was pretty graphic and was deserving of the R rating. Actual human violence not just alien violence.

Was worth the $7 to see it with the big screen and big sound of a theater too. So don't fuck around and wait for DVD or a bootleg just go see it. See it during the day if you don't want to pay so much, but go see it.

I was able to watch it before work today and as someone who generally isn't a big Sci-Fi fan I agree with what CB said 100%.

This is what a summer "blockbuster" should be like!

We have been super busy all day too. This is the first time I've been able to get off the floors in a few hours.

Man....I thought I was the only person thinking this shit.
No, trust me I thought that too. Look within the first few posts in this thread and dude who said the same thing I propped.

This movie is fucking DOPE though. Seriously, and I don't even really like sci-fi like I said before. Check it out in theatres or at least make sure you or where you watch it at has a big screen and high quality surround sound. It def. will make a difference but even without that I think it will still come out as a good movie.

They must have done a good job marketing this + it seems like it had great reviews going into opening because the theater had tons of people waiting to see this movie.

There wasn't a line or anything, but much more than I expected. Which is good because I think this movie delivers the goods.

Movies are around $10 to see in a theater over here. I'm going to see this tonight at 10. I had to talk some others out of seeing The Orphan for this one. Looks really good and the ratings are high!

Just saw it. Great movie. Like a lot of you were saying, it was a lot more intense than I was thinking it would be. It seemed like it ended quickly even though it was a 2 hour movie. The character development was on point. Especially the main guy. I didnt really like his character at first but that changed early in the second act. This makes 2 bomb sci fi movies this summer (Moon would be the other).
