 I saw this when it was called Underworld :)  It even cribs lines from The Prophecy.

I love who they got for Gabriel though.

The trailer looks fantastic. I'll definitely be catching this. 

I don't mind that they've nicked from Underworld and The Prophecy, I dug both of those flicks.

I can see this film getting some serious protestors. Here you have a horror film with God as the bad guy. The trailer attached to District 9 makes the film look even more controversial than it is, since it seems to imply that Paul Bettany's protagonist is Lucifer and the pregnant woman is carrying the Antichrist. In fact:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) With all of that being said, I found the trailer disturbing but completely compelling. Are we to believe the old lady in the diner with the Exorcist-esque lobster walk up the walls is also an angel?

Saw the preview last night. In its opening seconds, I thought it was a sequel to Constantine which excited me. But as it went on it looked pretty horrible. God as the bad guy and presumably the unborn spawn of satan is the hero. No thanks.

face contortion fx is still not good enough imho =P. it needs to be more subtle than what it is here =P anyways, it's prolly another piece of entertainment. similar release date patterns as Constantine BTW =).

This looked like it could be kind of fun, but more than that I found myself wishing that they'd release a 16x9 version of The Prophecy.

I think I did that in that old computer game, Populous...

The movie looks entertaining although the demonic senior citizen scampering around the diner at the beginning was more funny than unnerving.

Hey, they should make a POPULOUS movie!  If they can do MONOPOLY and whatever other board games why not that fun computer game?  Anyway, I loved the demonic senior citizen scene.  I think the movie looks to be too much of a PROPHECY retread as I was hoping for a group of people stuck in a diner fighting of crazy old people instead.    

I think if they want to do a cool Satan-as-good-guy movie they should do an adaptation of Moorcock's WARHOUND AND THE WORLD'S PAIN which is a cool novel wherein Satan hooks up with a hero (from 1600's?  Can't remember now) to help him find the Holy Grail to get back in the good graces of God.  Cool!

If the movie is as bad as that trailer, I'll be very disappointed.  Great premise poorly executed (so far).

Count me out of this one.  The concept of fighting angels, then these angels turn into demon like monsters, doesn't make any sense to me. 

With a little bit of "Actraiser" mixed in, don't you think?

Yeah, what this really looks like is "The Prophecy" but not neary as good.

 The tv show Supernatural has been doing this for the past season.  Angels have been causing trouble while God is not paying attention.

Cheesey looking movie. Won't be getting my cash.

While I won't see this in the theater I'll blind-buy the Blu-ray, looks just too damn cool...and lots of fun.

The whole concept sounds incredibly stupid to me:

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) But I suppose some people will watch it just to see/hear neat-o fight scenes and FX.  Ugh.

Looks like a yawner to me. Maybe, MAYBE, I'll give it a rent when it hits Blu-ray.

 This guy just creeps the crap out of me.   :eek:

that's actually a pet peeve of mine, this "skin stretching" technique has got to be the laziest type of CG in the book.  it's basically a normal looking face that stretches like a rubber band.  when it's unstretched, there's no skin flaps like a st. bernard or whatever.  :P  just smooth stretchable skin :)

I also feel like it is used a lot.  IE Mummy... good lord.  Or anything that screams at you.  I am passing on this one as well.  Maybe a rental or wait for it to hit channel 5!  By the looks of it, it should be there pretty quick.
