District 9

[xeno6919]

So this movie came out today and I went to watch it this morning. I really enjoyed it (though I figured I would), but more so than I figured. It had some good action, good drama, and a really good underlying message. What are your guys\gals thoughts on this movie if you have seen it.

[greddie]

this the one about the aliens? ive not seen it yet, prob wont see it for a while unless a good copy floats around here

[xeno6919]

Ya it is that one.

[Off the Heezay]

is it that good? im about to see it :D

[xeno6919]

I enjoyed it, I hope you do to so I don't look like too much of an ass, lol.

[greddie]

well... i liked the trailer and thought it looked like something i needed to see

[Off the Heezay]

xD you wont i heard its one of the best alien films made

[Kenshi]

yeah it looks good i want to see it. but i dont want to be disappointing. i hope its a good alien movie, with a good plot i have been in need of one.

[xeno6919]

You might find yourself not caring too much about the people in it though really, that is about it. As for plot, eh.

[Kenshi]

is it deep? i want some deep shit, important message or plot. just makes you think.

[xeno6919]

It does have a message I think. Like how the aliens are treated, mirrors how different races are treated still today and how there is still apparent racism all over the world. I don't want to go too much into it, so as to not spoil anything.

[greddie]

r the effects good? r there some badass looking aliens?

[xeno6919]

They look pretty good IMO.

[greddie]

good enough for me.... when a dvd rip comes out... ill let u know what i think. :)

[xeno6919]

lol, sounds good. I will probably rank if my 2nd favorite summer movie from this year, behind Star Trek.

[Kenshi]

it sounds good, i might have to go see it. my friends always want to see movies so thats why i go, other wise i would say fuck it ill wait

[xeno6919]

Yea same here, one of my good friends goes to watch movies like twice a week or more. I usually tag along sometimes when I am not broke.

[greddie]

if there is an Orange Wed ill prob tag along, but i havnt paid to go to the cinema in ages, im a right cheep skate, rather watch for free when i can.
last thing i saw at the cinema... was maybe Casino Royale...

It's another Peter Jackson produced movie. I haven't seen it yet, but have read lots about it.

Peter Jackson originally contracted the director, Neill Blomkamp, a South African, to direct his film interpretation of Halo, the vid game. The project fell through when Fox, Universal and Microsoft couldn't agree on who got all the money, so Peter felt obliged to give Blomkamp a shot at something else.

Blomkamp himself came up with the idea of turning 'Alive In Jo'Burg' a short film he made in 2005 into a feature film. It does have an underlying theme about the evils of apartheid. The name, District 9, comes from District 6, an inner city residential area in Cape Town where, in the '70's 60,000 people were forceably removed from their homes.

I don't often rush out to see the latest movies at theatres, and I will probably wait for a DVD for this one too, but I am looking forward to it. :pirate:

:eek: this movie was soo good, best movie this year ive seen (besides 500 days of summer) but overall the movie had pretty sweet action/gore and a deep message :D

[xeno6919]

I am sure you will like it Cacteur.

I just seen it today. I didn't think I would like it based off of the trailers I seen, but it actually is an amazing movie. It has a little bit of everything in it. What I did think was especially clever was the fact that is was based in Johannesburg, South Africa, given their history (apartheid and all).

During the first twenty minutes I was really regretting spending money on this flick.

They use that hand held video effect that annoys the shit out of me, kinda like Cloverfield,.

Soon after that the movie became quite interesting and thrilling. I really enjoyed this movie.

I give it two thumbs up.:thumbsup:

Peace

right, my two cents: i like this film, really original, fantastic graphics, brilliant story and cleverly put together, defiantly one of the best film ive seen this year i think.
