I this B Movie out on DVD yet?
- TheBlueOne0
I think it had some big gaping holes in the story, and most of the characters were lacking any sort of depth, I do think there was a nice maintenance of visceral, emotional current from start to finish.
I think Moon is still the scifi movie to beat this year..
- did anyone get 'sploded in Moon? that will be the deciding factor in if I see it.Point5
- As long as moon is nothing like piece of shit ill give it a shot.CygnusZero4

what is this reference to The Office that everyone keeps making? something about the camera angles?
- No, the main character is very Office like IMHO, as is the odd "humor" in the first 30 min..TheBlueOne
- mockumentary, innit?7point34
- yeah..i thought so..bit of a piss take..TheBlueOne
- Yeah, he watches his friend get killed, then he makes a joke about cat food. Worst movie of the year.CygnusZero4

I'm going to see it tonight. As long is it's a decent scifi flick I'll be happy.
- Decent would be pretty generous.CygnusZero4
- Well I really liked the War of the Worlds remake, and even The Happening....which both got bad reviews....so.designbot
- I'm sorry, but I see you've spilled some H8TRade on the floorTheBlueOne
- I would take world over the worlds over this any day. That movie is significantly better than this.CygnusZero4
- war of the worlds. lol messed that up badCygnusZero4
- ha...I loved the darker side of that remake. I also am a huge fan of the original War of the Worlds though.designbot
- The Day the Earth stood still...now that's one they messed up and took too many liberties with...strayed too far from the classic original.designbot
- classic.designbot
- I just realized you were referring to your typing and not the film..lol.designbot
- No I like the remake.CygnusZero4
- yeah great movie.designbot

Trying to decide whether to go see this or "Basterds" (which I am now just referring to as "Nazi Healthcare," as it's a more fun title) this weekend. Babysittin fairy don't come that often so we must choose wisely.
- Don't watch "Basterds" it's just a plug for socialized healthcare. Pure propaganda :)designbot
- hahahahaTheBlueOne
- those basterds!harlequino

If you like action and alien movies then see it.
If you expect it to be Garden State with a smattering of E.T. then don't.

I like how if you say you didn't like it....everybody screams "YOU missed the allegory"
um...no
NO ONE could miss it...it was so blunt and obvious
unfortuntly so much of the movie silly...the allegory didn't amount to anything.
everybody in the theater was only into the 'splosions

Brilliant on so many levels. Philosophically speaking.

The weird thing about D9 is its supposed to be a comedy, but with a serious back story. So you get people making jokes in serious situations and it just doesnt work at all. I was very close to walking out.
- Who says it supposed to be a comedy?funkgawz
- Yeah that trailer sure doesn't say "comedy" to meharlequino
- no one and nothing ever said it was to be a comedy.refunktion
- Except that they try very hard to make it funny, so I dunno, it is what it is. Lots of jokes at odd times.CygnusZero4
- There's def some 'The Office' style humor going on in there.dopepope
- Not a comedy.juhls

The average 12 year loved the movie though....

It certainly wasn't the mind blowing experience I wanted, but it was indeed a great movie unlike anything I've sen on the big screen in a while. Quite intelligent and original, and it looked fantastic.

enjoyed the movie. it relied a lot on special effects but nothing wrong with that. at least it had a decent concept and story which most big budget movies don't. then again, i am very easily impressed. don't expect a political drama focused entirely on refugee aliens -- it is pretty much an all-out action movie. it has emukid's seal of approval.
- emukid seal of approval? just stfuceiling_cat
- why ceiling_cat, why do you hate me?emukid

Um....whaa? Favorite of all time??
Honestly this movie is no better than your average TV sci fi series. It was entertaining for a lil while but pretty silly and didn't add up to much in the end.
