District 9
« on: September 08, 2009, 11:28:42 PM »
Trailer.

Anyone seen it?

I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi, brilliant CGI and special effects, metaphors for xenophobia, and a protagonist who frequently says FOOK in a hilarious Seth Efrican accint.

It's worth a watch. You cannot turn down your dose of FOOK.

I've seeen it. It left me speechless. It was a fantastic movie.
The metaphors were pretty dead on with this movie, and it was cool how sci-fi was incorporated with it.

I saw it as well. The beginning was a little boring, but it got better as it went on. All in all though, Inglorious Bastards was better.

Inglorious Basterds WAS better, but only for the ending.

District 9 was still pretty good though. Very gritty.

I like this movie a lot!  It was believable even though it was sci-fi because there weren't any famous people in it.  For me at least, that made it seem closer to home.  Great film.

I absolutly hated the beginning of it, it reminded me so much of an Scifi/Borat. And I hate Borat to no end and with every fiber of my being. But the end was brilliant ad it would have been better without the beginning.

I didn't see it, but a lot of my friends loved it. I did see one scene from it, but it only made me wonder if that's what a South African accent really sounds like. Aliens aren't really my thing, but I'd consider sitting and watching it if someone wanted me to.
