District 9

By Eregion2 on 16/08/2009

Just went to see District 9 today; hadn't heard about it before a guildie mentioned it this weekend. IMO it's an amazing movie, special effects are 100% top-notch (on par with Transformers) and the story is very well balanced between being cool, and on the other hand giving a pretty dismal critique of human nature.

So yeah, I thought it was awesome.

Anyone else seen it yet?

PS: I need to remember not go to a R-rated movie right after shaving or I get carded.

I would see it if there was a way to get in. Only 16. :<

Fgt people put all of the R movies on one side of the theatre and then set up a checkpoint making it impossible to sneak in.

My movie theater doesn't card pretty much anyone. I just walked up and got a ticket to Bruno. Didn't have bribe him or anything

It's R-16 in New Zealand lol

I went and saw this on release night and it was pretty epic, though I did think the ending was a bit weak. No need to spoil it for people.

The movie is actually done by Peter Jackson & the guy he was going to team up with to do the Halo movie, so obviously they both have allot of experince in special effects.

I think the best thing about it was it had enough action to keep me excited while keeping a fairly interesting reflection on 'racism' (in a round-about way) as well as discrimination.

I'd definitely reccomend see'ing it at the theatres if you can.

I dunno if the R-Rating is deserved, it has a fair bit of offensive lang. and a bit of gore.... but nothing extreme

(Just have to wait till someone posts a link of it)

Only heard of it a little, but if people think its good, it might be worth seeing then

It's highly reviewed, I thought it was decent but not amazing. Effects definitely are good.

It got highly acclaimed for some of its underlying themes, but they're actually very minimal and the story focuses on its main character who is kinda hard to care about.

If you exploding people, you will like it.

Have not seen it yet but have only heard good things about it.

Didn't think it was out yet, maybe is isn't in the UK, though i saw a trailer and it looked pretty epic.

I definitely want to see it. I've been only hearing good things about it.

Just an update. Saw the film last night and it was amazing. I brought my girlfriend and she's not much for action/sci-fi films and she even said in these exact words "Now that's the kind of movie I would buy". It was great

I say it's 9.5/10. Great story and great underlying concept of human beings.
