I've raved about Joe Cornish's Attack the Block, Scott loved it, Steve's loved it, and plenty of other online writers have cheered it on as well.  And if you don't like our opinions, the film has picked up accolades at the SXSW and Los Angeles Film Festivals.  I'm not sure how much convincing you need to see this film, but for Comic-Con attendees who can't wait to see this flick, I've got some great news.  Collider will be giving out 5 pairs of tickets to a special Comic-Con screening of the flick. Additionally, you can click here to register for free passes on a first-come, first serve basis, but our winners will be guaranteed seats.  If you do get passes through RSVPing and not directly through us, be sure to show up early as your pass does not guarantee you a seat.

Furthermore, folks at the Comic-Con screening will be treated to a Q&A with Cornish, executive producer Edgar Wright, and star John Boyega.  Hit the jump for more details on the screening, the Comic-Con panel for the film, and to find out other sites that are giving away tickets.  Attack the Block hits theaters in the US on July 29th.
