your both right - a film doesnt need A-listers to make them good and non movie actors can be very good. But I just feel films like this need a bit of acting power/glamour from non tv actors - to make the movie more of a movie...if that makes sense (i am mainly refering to a cult sci-fi one like this). But saying that - i enjoyed Cloverfield (the monster, destruction and production NOT the characters) and that had mainly unknowns.
AvP-R - i actually enjoyed more than the first one. but being a life long fan of the original comics from the age of 11 - they are both just wrong (the mistake was setting them on modern day earth - an instant fail) and and that Predator hybrid was just awful.....
I havent played or heard of Crysis, but from a brief search, I can see what you mean.
From this trailer - the movie does come across like a computer game movie, which i dont like at all. every computer game movie I have seen I havent enjoyed. And this film reminRAB me of one.
Or a big budget cult sci-fi tv serial.
I will still see this movie, but I must admit my expectations are low and think the best bits are infact what we have just seen in the trailer.
