yep its very good.
wasnt expecting much from the trailer myself - read a couple of reviews and seems like everyone is giving it good reviews.
the story /meaning is kool - tis about rascicm but not towards people but instead towards a couple of million cat food loving alien refugees - (That kinda look like shelfish - dubbed 'Prawns' by humans in a deregatory way). special effects / action sequences are amazing. The prawns are like real living creatures. And it leaves a real lasting effect.
Refreshing to see a big budget alien movie not set in america. The south african accents win lol.
You watch the main guy turn from a fun loving happy go lucky guy into well - i guess you just gotta watch it. I cannot understand how this movie only cost 30 million to make - it looks like it should be way more expensive than transformers 1 and 2 combined.
It is kind of made like cloverfield in that mockumentary style - but kind of not. (And its way better).
9/10 - best movie i seen this year.
Next movie to see - Moon. |

| i get the feeling that district 9 is only the beginning of the epicness (or episosity)of that story. |

My District 9 review:-
District 9 is one of those rare movies that will change the way that movies are made.
30 million dollars doesnt even make a hollywood romantic comedy these days - except for district 9.
you need a bankable star for any movie that relies on 1 character to carry the movie - except for district 9.
big/expensive movies need to be based on a story/comic book/old tv show that everyone is already familiar with to be successful - except district 9.
This movie is what the world has been waiting for in so many ways. This new Neill Blomkamp bloke is the next Speilberg - this movie is as close as you kids are gunna get to starwars - and district 9 (if handled correctly - ie keep the writers and director in charge of creativity) - will kill the standard movie trilogy/franchise and create something bigger and better that lasts for the next 30 years.
If Neill handles this thing right - Wyckers Van de Merwye will save the world in about 12 years time on some random planet 50 light years away - and it will be MMMMMMAAAAAADD.
If not...well at least thank you for District 9 - its one hell of a movie....it made me (a grown man) feel like a boy again. |

| Wow! I saw this last weekend, f**king awesome movie! One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Definitely refreshing to see a sci-fi movie that isn't far from believable. Love the fact that it isn't a generic Hollywood blockbuster set in New York, with big name actors. The fact that it's set in South Africa and has actors we've never seen or heard of before make the story more believable. Couple that with awesome CG and you get one hell of a movie! |
