You know, I didn't expect shit from this other than some aliens and shit, and I got exactly what I expected. Yeah the message is a bit spoon fed, but by God have you seen a Hollywood film lately? They're all like that. I had a good time watching goo being sprayed in all directions.
I watched Lesbian Vampire Killers right after District 9 and the movies worked well together.
It's not clever, but a few spliffs and it's at least entertaining and funny.

A fun see - my only regret was folding in to sloth and torrenting it instead of going out and paying its due respect.
Media companies should set up PayPal guilt funds for people like me who want to send in a little cash by way of apology.
- - I'm actually serious about that last idea - I've wanted something like that for indie music acts for a while now.detritus

Saw it today. It's a very good film. Original, no or almost none Hollywoodish shit. No Will Smith or any other shitty known actors.
The door is wide open for a sequel at the end and I want a sequel. I want to know what's gonna happend after this.
Highly recommanded, excellent movie.

Just saw it... much more intense than I expected it to be. It seems to me the film could've been better served with a much longer runtime, as with most Peter Jackson-involved movies. BUT, for what it was I thought it was really good. Even my grandmother and cousins really liked it. Now to see Moon!

don't waste your 10 bucks
- really? details please...but no spoilers :)designbot
- It was just a b-movie with some nice CGI effects.utopian
- You, my friend, missed a big, fat, glaring allegory.BRNK
- ...but the glaring allegory is achingly clichedbabaganush

- Cliché? Would you kindly name some other big hollywood films about apartheid or good immigrant/bad immigrant issues?BRNK

Just saw it, thought it was fucking 10/10 brilliant. what's not to like. except for the plot fail of why it was there in the first place.

- HAHAH YUP! theres a moment when his coat looks like a cloak. it was all akira like!!!sofakingbanned

- haha! back from vacation.... still adjustingCALLES
- Yeah well this was originally supposed to be Halo.CygnusZero4
- ha, that is what I thought, like an origins storyBattleAxe

Check it out. I thought it was an awesome movie. original, funny, action, and cool weapons n such.
I really liked the main character, I like the way he was a super happy dork and then went all out of wack at the end. His accent was funny as fuck hahahhah
Anyway cool flick, cant wait for the sequel
- I like the fact that we don't expect the guy to be the main character. He really doesn't look like the usual "hero". That's what make s the character evn more interesting.vsplus
- ...makes the character even more interesting.vsplus
- yeahbenfal99
- yawnutopian
- yawn @ utopianvsplus
- so basically you like the fact that you have low standards?eighteen
- no low standart, he just looks more like a regular guy, not like the usual typical boring sans surprise hollywood star.vsplus

This movie is actually what the Halo movie was going to be until it got canned. Once that happened they just turned it into D9, so im going to go ahead and say that Halo would have been the greatest videogame movie of all time, which of course isnt saying much.

I saw it last night. I haven't seen Moon, so this goes in one of my top movies of the summer. I do agree that the acting was pushed a bit too much... good guy was too comical, bad guy was overly bad. I also wanted violence like City of God. Where it hurts to watch. this was fun violence...most of it.

I thought this movie sucked. I lost interest right in the beginning seeing those stupid looking aliens walking around. The acting is supposed to be less like a movie and more like a documentary, but it doesnt work like that at all. The actors dont come off genuine at all. Its decent, but pretty weak overall.
