District 9

[CrystalBrooke]

But the story was way more interesting to me...I just thought District 9 was stupid, Sci Fi must not be included in my movie taste.

District 9 Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

Currently at 89% on rotten tomatoes, I think it will make James Cameron's $300m Avatar look like ridiculous hype and extremely poor value for money if the effects we've seen so far are any measure.
I'll still watch it though...

We bought it and enjoyed it more at home. I wonder why they have a choice of starting the dvd as alien or human. I mean there is a choice when you begin the film. Maybe it's just for fun,didn;t change the film ending or anything.We tried.
The one thing you need to know is it is from a documentary view,then 45 mins past that goes into movie mode. I loved the alien-Christopher and the little one. The main actor bugged us. They could have cast this much better but still worth the watch and 7 of us agreed and watched together.

OK. It had humor at times. I liked this film but once is enough,

 

[Nautica]

Fun to watch and see how we'd react with aliens. I too liked it and bought this dvd over the holidays.

I guess I'm one of the 5 people alive who hated this movie. I thought the plot was unique but the overall execution of it was just stupid. I love sci-fi movies but this was just not a great movie. The end made me want to gag.

Hmm, interesting..

I loved that movie.. 10/10 for me

The language was a little bit harsh, but it didn't really bother me.

I would say District 9 was a great movie if it weren't so nauseating. I don't have the stomach for this kind of camera style. Had I known, I would have waited for it on Blu-Ray instead so I could stand as far away as possible from the screen. Other than that, it has an excellent plot and awesome pacing.

Had me entertained but not worth an Oscan nom. I am shocked this is up for one.

... I wonder if/when District 10 is coming out?

Remember how the main alien guy said "... 3 years, I promise"

I think that was a hint


I thought District 9 was just okay. You liked it more than I did.

I loved District 9, definitely on my top movies list. I really like how many times I thought the movie had reached its denouement only for something crazy to happen. The social commentary was interesting, but the originality of the plot was great. I would love District 10, but I don't see how it could be anything other than a straight-forward sci-fi action movie...

 

[The-Doctor]

Loved the film though lots of similarities to Apartheid loved the Prawns espacially the head prawn. Loved the Docu style of it too.

A++

One outstanding movie.

I really liked this movie.
My wife's opinion was "Meh....too many unanswered questions"
Which may be true, but I LOVED the almost complete moral ambiguity of nearly every major character in this movie.
Didn't love it, but really liked it.

Heck, I actually got through this movie, as opposed to Inglorious Basterds

Shut the front door! Inglorious Basterds was 100000000000 times better than District 9

Different tastes apparently (and I know that the majority of people who saw IG- including my own daughter- may think I'm a heretic )

Couldn't crawl my way through IG though
But not really an ongoing subject for this thread, yes?

I know, I know...I'm just in a mood tonight

Please, continue.

It's okay
My 18 year old daughter and I, despite the fact that she was raised by her mother, had agreed 100% on movies... The Crow, Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and even Moulin Rouge (a widely panned movie).
So, you can understand how shocked I was when I couldn't get through IG, despite the fact that she "loved it" and thought that it was "awesome, fantastic, you REALLY have to see it"

Please, continue.

About Inglorious Basterds? Nah Wrong thread.
