Like some guy said earlier, Christopher should just drop a Predator Warrior 3 years later to Earth. The story would unravel on its own.
I loved the movie and hope for a sequel. All the questions should not be answered. That makes for curiousity and discussion. You could be right when you say he should not want to be changed back to human. He was treated better by the aliens. Get the father-in-law! Give him a shot of the stuff! Loved the battlesuit. Wickus didn’t know how to use it quickly and properly. It defended itself while it was empty even. Koobus got his head tore off! One alien put it on his head for a moment. Cool movie, pretty different.
Watching the movie right now. A few things I’m noticing…
If you pay attention, there are no clear indicators that the humans understand ANYTHING the Prawns are saying; they seem to condescendingly mock the Prawns while maneuvering around trying to comprehend anything they say. That miscommunication is the main problem that plagues the race relations in the first place. In terms of the Prawns understanding English, I think you can owe that to their environment (English speaking world) and the fact that they are obviously very intelligent beings, therefore probably capable of learning languages much quicker than a human could theirs. They may have refrained from speaking English simply because their vocal chords biologically cannot accomodate human languages, or at least English. When Wikus does understand Prawnese, he’s very much in his alien transformation, which I take as the explanation for that.
I don’t think that the ship was completely military like some people said. If it was then why do they have so many workers? I mean I know you need some workers like that on a ship that size but If it was militarized much more of the aliens would be like Christopher Johnson. Smart and able to use the tech with ease or at least be a little organized and handy with a weapon. So I think that the ship was a military mining vessel (or something similar to it) that was struck with some disease that decide to land on earth for help or something. but when they landed most of the MPs and chain of command had died off leaving the workers and some like Christopher. And with few like him it would have been hard to stop the majority of workers from eating the dwindleing food supply while they were stranded for two months over Johannesburg. But I digress the movie was great and I would love to see a sequal by the same director.
the first half hour of this movie is slow and I thoght I wasted my money buying the dvd .I quickly gained empathy for the prawn and wanted to see the humans get what they deserved .Wikus who at the start is a real uncaring pawn of MNU who then turns into a half prawn half rambo type character that kicks ass .Backround music made me want to pick up a gun and help .Should be in the Top 10 Science Fiction movies of all time .If you are bored with the last 3/4 of this movie you are dead and you just dont know it .Can’t wait for sequel .
The sequel should show the prawn’s home world and there weapons it should also show humans getting there as tick,al sow show there home galaxy
well lets say that if theres a sequel lets start out at the beggining christopher comes back blah blah gives him the antidote then something happens to another mnu agent when he finds a another virus and happens to him which means that christopher will be destroyed for every alien having a virus.
