too many Big names always lead to crappy as hell movies

Some of the worst movies of all time.

Not when the big names are behind the camera :)

Plus The Expendables are a bunch of so-so actors anyway. Not the same caliber as Harrison Ford.

I for one actually think this looks quite promising.

those guys are big names? >_>

A for the premise.

I'd watch it just for that, being different.

Though I wonder if it's a straight out "invasion" movie... and why the aliens gave him a weapon that looks just like their technology and could destroy them.

well what i gathered from the beginning of the trailer is that he was abducted or something and had this thing on his arm when he wakes up.

or he seas an alien ship fall so he goes and checks it out. he finds an alien with this thing on his arm and the dude speaks English and tells him that you have been chosen and gives him the weapon :P
