Apparently there have been a few films with that title over the years, but the one I mean is the Netflix film that just came out. It stars Michael Pena. If you have seen the film … 1) What 15mm Figures would you use for the Aliens? 2) Would it inspire you to a game? If so, how would it differ from a typical Alien invasion game? 3) Would you center solely on urban terrain scenarios? Dan

I watched a bit of that…until stuff started going down. Does it get any better?

Haven't seen it, but the ads do look intriguing.

Some of the Rebel minis stuff might work rebelminis.com/eafoma.html with the right color mix

Interesting movie once you get past the domestic drama (dysfunctional family). Then it all makes sense.

I was really a good take on the alien invasion movie. I highly recommend it.

What Aliens, CC???

Well, you'd think they were aliens until things were explained. Plus, with that armor the figure options could work also for Alien creatures like the Chigs in Space:Above And Beyond. Dan

Spoiler Alert – may already be to late. . . . . . . . . . . . . One of the greatest joys of the movie was who was who in the story. It's to bad that this thread has taken that away from those who have not yet seen the movie.

I know. Next time i bring up a movie I must post that warning for sure. Dan

I watched it and the Titan on Netflix. I thought Extinction was pretty decent. Liked the twist. I sorta saw it coming as it reminded me in some ways of the Island. Didn't quite get all of it. But did enjoy it overall. The Titan I thought was drek for the most part. Thanks.
