District 9

Anyone else plan on seeing this movie. It opens next week. The trailers look good and I think the concept is interesting. Peter Jackson has made very good films in the past. I hope this one is good too.

Yeah, I plan to see it, but I will probably wait for it to come out on DVD. I love movies, but hate the audiences these days.

This one does look like it's going to be interesting, if not just a little bit bloody. Some are already calling it an apartheid movie due to the bit about the aliens being kept in isolation in Johannesburg, SA. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it looks good either way.

I dunno...didn't we cover this ground with _Alien Nation_ already? It looks like a nasty little movie to me.

Saw it last night. Kinda bloody-not as bad as "Starship Troopers". The "Prawns", who look a bit like crayfish on steroids, and humans can understand each other, but can't speak the others' language, and we get subtitles. The X-Box game will probably do quite well. Alien weapons, and such. There is the Apartheid factor, and an empathy factor, but I won't ruin the plot before you see it.

I saw it tonight. It was pretty intense, bloody, and sometimes disturbing. Most of the humans have no redeming qualities. Despite all this I thought the film was good and I'm glad I saw it. My wife said it was not her kind of film. From the ending I'm assuming there will be a sequal.

To me, this was one of the worst movies I've seen.

I do love Sci-Fi movies, but so far this one gave me the impression of watching a cheap documentary, with very-cheesy actors...

I won't be watching the sequel... if there is one coming...
