district 9

Tonight I saw the trailer for the new film 'District 9' - hit or miss?

THEY SAY

quote:

District 9 depicts a fictional world where extraterrestrials have become refugees in South Africa.

Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa�s District 9 as the world�s nations argued over what to do with them.

Its an anime about aliens that come to earth and instead of doing anything productive they just try to integrate into society. Mainly most of them are annoying and and a nuisance to humans.

Looks cool, I like all the alternate reality websites associated with it.

the theme is already very force fed. But I like aliens!

i think that's what will make it better. if it was fast-paced it would just be another cloverfield or any other sci/fi thing.

i'm really intrigued by this - first i've heard of it too.

heh, i thought cloverfield was fast paced, but it lacked a solid amount of action and events to keep it interesting, too much beating around the bush

i hope this has some mystery to it, and it looks like it will based on the trailer. i just hope it's not jam packed with testimonies from people that overflow the entire film
