      Looks pretty cool to me. Nothing wrong with a mindless action popcorn flick... those are usually the most fun to watch on bluray anyway

        Agree.. To many "serious" people in the world.
        I liked the original and will give this one a shot. Explosions and stuff are a plus in any movie

          Apparently this movie was made like 3 years ago and has been in post production hell ever since, I kinda wondered why Chris Hemsworth was in this. His star has been rising but obviously he did this when he was still a nobody.

          The original invaders were the Chinese but it was changed to North Koreans after the movie was shot (i'm assuming they figure no one can tell the difference between a Chinese and North Korean) because they didn't want to offend the Chinese and more importantly lose the box office potential of the Chinese market. Sounds like this movie would be more suited to a direct to DVD market because this sounds like it may be one of the years big stinkers.

            The movie looks okay. I do like the fact that they made Chris Hemsworth's character a Marine though. Semper Fi!

              My god these trailers look bad. I wish these movies would just have a revisionist history compared to this modern day setting.

              I still love the idea though: one of the poorest countries on the planet invades the richest country. Great underdog story.

                WTF... I saw the trailer and wanted to throw up. Maybe because all the faces are famous kids already. I think they would of been better with fresh faces. But I agree... The poorest country invading one of the rishest... smh... Come on now.

                Also... I threw up even more when the kid tries to do "Wolverines!"... Are you serious?

                  They needed this to be China, that would be the most realistic, and the most probable.

                    I'm not sure if that would be the case.

                      I don't think any scenario involving the USA being invaded is realistic. No country would(could) be able to hold land here, a insurgency here would be 100x worse than the insurgency we saw in Iraq. Anything natural resource we have here, another weaker country has it. The US will never be invaded, our downfall will either be nukes or internal.

                      If for some reason we were invaded by a superior force, it would be a absolute blood bath. The US military is "nice" when we find someone with a gun they are not supposed to have. I would wager that if you were found with any kind of gun be a foreign force, you would be executed on the spot.

                        I enjoyed the original Red Dawn as a kid. The remake is just awful and it took every good scene and ruined it. This is one of the worst remakes ever.

                          That is how we will be invaded from the top down. As for this movie I loved the original so I'm a give this one a go just for nostalgia.

                            Did anyone go see it?

                            I saw it today, it's alright, better than I expected. Keep in mind I haven't seen the original.
