It is ludicrous to even think we can contain them in some ghetto. if they are hostile, the story won't end like the movie independence day where we give them a virus and win. we would get exterminated or enslaved. the analogy would be like bringing a knife to a laser fight.
Who's to say alien technology even progressed far into weapons and warfare? Maybe exploration and travel was the sole or primary focus of their civilization.

Exploring means going into the unknown. This raises questions of safety that any explorer will need to address.

this movie looks good
too bad the movies that look 'good' these days end up sucking

I'm stoked to see this, seems interesting enough. Definitely a unique idea.

nothing like a good hollywood sci fi movie to throw humans and non-humans in a pit to elucidate what makes us in fact human. it's always the same story
predator
alien
terminator
matrix
etc
etc

at least matrix had some decent philosophical and religious themes going on though

This movie has the potential for some philosophical themes. Aliens crashed here and want to leave but the humans won't let them, instead treat them like second class citizens and force them into work camps.

sounds like Alien Nation

I have to see more, but so far it looks like it's worth 10 dollars.

What if warfare has never occurred in their society and there has never been a need for weapons, it's possible the thought might not even occur to them.

in any case, the idea sounds kinda novel, i like it. but i have a feeling there were be some logic flaws. i mean, if the aliens can jump so freakin' high; why didn't they just jump over the fence around their district to begin with?
little like that aside, looks neat.
edit,
viral media - that's what i was thinking of.
It's not viral media. The short film was made years ago.
Anyhow, I'm intrigued by the concept. Will definitely go see it in theaters.
