District 9

How can their not be a thread for this movie!? D:

Just got in from seeing the midnight showing and I was blown away by this. Once i'm slightly more awake and coherant, i'll elaborate on what it was the intrigued me the most.

In the mean time, discuss won't you?

 

I haven't seen it yet D,:

I want to though, it kinda looks good​

 

Ok, now that I am awake, my take:

Spoiler

I'll admit, that this is the first movie i've watched in a long time that there were sections that truely made me squirm. This is also the first movie that I can honestly say had me on the edge of my seat and I never once checked my watch till the end. It's R for a reason with the amount of action and violence plus it's funny to hear people saying fook instead of...welll you know.

Spoiler

The fact that this movie blends elements of political and morality with in the main character (i can't pronounce his first name D:) is so damn convincing that you are instantly able to connect with him during the opening documentarianistic manner of story telling. The director did a fantastic job interweving themes of immigration, persecution, class, and power into an alien story that we've never really seen before. The simple fact that aliens basically pulled a Christopher Columbus instead of War of the Worlds or Independence Day and yet, we made the first move is a twist we've not really seen. I'm not going to lie, if this director teamed up with Peter Jackson on HALO....wow.

 

Haven't heard of it.

Basic concept please?

 

I saw something for this movie on "Syfy" and I saw Peter Jackson and I thought, "THat's not peter jackson!"

 

In all honesty, the trailers for this movie was very poorly done. That of course, is my opinion. I didn't quite understand the actualy point of it...

But I'll take your word for it, since I'm apparently I'm supposed to see it tonight. D:

 

I'm glad to hear that! The trailers really were disappointing, but the plot that I could discern from them got me intrigued. It got a stunning review in the newspaper too, so I'm probably going to go see it in the next few days. It's been a while since I've seen an R-rated that wasn't just mindless trash.

 

That's a rather interesting outline. I might go watch it, when I have the time.

 

Yeah the trailers didn't seem all that great, I didn't quite get it. You described it better than the trailers did imo. I might go see it now, I actually think a friend of mine wanted to go see it tomorrow or something so I'll tag along. :3

 

Just came back from watching that movie. My god was it epic.

The plot for one was quite interesting enough, itself being an allusion to apartheid in South Africa. The action scenes were quite gripping and intense; one can feel adrenaline pumping through their bodies when they watch the movie. The characters themselves were quite likable (with the exception of a few certain humans of course). For those who haven't watched this yet I highly recommend it.

Right then, don't mind my horrible descriptions.

Discuss.

 

There's a thread for this movie already...Shades' made it. D:


But, oui...awesome movie nonetheless.

 

Ack, sorry. I'll go tell a mod to delete this thread then.

 

I freaking want to see this. So many people say it's amazing, and I've anticipated it since first seeing the first trailer :<

 

LOL. Don't be sorry. xPP

The movie's awesome enough to get two threads xDDD

 

Humans really disgust me. :<
This movie covered so many concepts that I generally dislike about human nature...and I like the fact that they addressed it. The plot was amazing! GOSH...just spectacular! Special effects, makeup and the character developments were also flippin' AMAZING.

PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!a

 

I merged both threads. Carry on~

I do want to go see this movie. I've heard nothing but good stuff about it so probably I will see it on the weekend.

 

Well since Jube ruined the ending I hadnt planned on seeing it, buuuuut... :lolface:

It sounds cool and the special effects look badass, but Im afraid its gonna be like T2.

 

For your reassurance, there is no Arnold.
