Hollywood (and cinema in general) have been making sci-fi/fantasy films since FOR-EVER ..

..Nothing is going on...

to me Planet 51 like the typical "lovable alien scamp crashes on earth and is chased by the government" (see E.T.) but they reversed it. it's neat that they changed things around a little bit, too bad they couldnt have come up with something mostly new.

the rest of the movies pretty much just go along with things that get a lot of attention. people will always be fascinated by ghosts and aliens. (district 9 was probably more of a movie about peace and acceptance of other people than about aliens)

and 2012....what else needs to be said. it gets more attention than it deserves.

This sounds like an alright film. It would be better if it was animated. I'm a sucker for good animated kids films.

what Whaa said is probably right or close to it.

they probably just decide to make a movie about topics that have been googled a lot recently

Don't forget "The Day The Earth Stood Still" late 2008 and "Knowing" 2009
The vampire stuff is just riding the "Twilight" wave

This is interesting thought, Just to see what they would say, I ask my grandkids what they would think if a alien walked into the house.
Their response was, no big deal.

Looking at the toys, movies, and video games they play it is easy to see why, this would almost seem normal.
Maybe we are being program for a alien encounter.

around 2007 china and india admitted to their people that aliens exist... and that a sun-sensitive alien race was hiding in the himalayas. france, belgium, and mexico already told their people about aliens on earth too. the uk is slowly leaking ufo information to their people. i guess the american government wants to test the people's attitude about aliens through movies before making any decisions.
i mean, that's a lot of alien movies in such little time. knowing, the day the earth stood still, planet 51, disctrict 9, the fourth kind, V on SyFy, the remake of V on ABC...
it's different from all the other times because they're throwing aliens movies at us left and right. even some guys at NASA and people in the white house want to disclose this whole alien case. it's about time they did, it's literally impossible for us to be the only intelligent life in the universe.

Mark my words. Something is going on.
I would say D. as my selection but we shall see soon enough.
I think sooner than later.

The only conspiracy here is viral marketing.

This thread is what people in the industry call 'buzz'. They rely on interested people to speak about their product in ways that will also interest others in their community.

Every time a "Is this movie one more step toward disclosure?" thread pops up, all you the thread starter is doing is selling more tickets to see that movie.


And you arent even getting a cut!
