District 9

[PhilTheBeard]

I hope this movie is going to be bad ass i'm going to see it either tonight or tommorow

Let us know how you like it. I'm curious to go see it myself.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

will do

I am so fucking psyched for this movie, but I'm just afraid it'll be a "ALIENS ARE BAD AND WANT NOTHING MORE TO KILL US, SO HUMANITY MUST RALLY AND LAY WASTE TO THE INVADERS" movie; Independence Day was the last good movie to be able to use that formula IMO, now I'm pretty sick of it!

I've just seen the trailer, but it looked different from that considering the part with the alien saying it just wanted to go home (or something like that).

 

[PhilTheBeard]

na it wont be anything like that from what i read on the plot of the story.

 

[TheDriller]

Have you all seen the short-film that this is based on ???

Yeah, I know very little about it, I saw the trailer but couldn't hear much of the dialogue (noisy room), I'm just generally pessimistic, but hopefully since it's Peter Jackson it'll have some depth to it! I'm just psyched cuz the alien looked a lot like a Turian from Mass Effect

I saw the midnight show last night and I fucking LOVED it! Best flick of 2009 and best true SciFi film in a long time!!!!

I'm tempted to talk about it but do yourself a huge favor and avoid spoilers!!!

Directed by a South African

The plot sounded dumb to me but there's a lot of hype behind it *shrugs*
I read it's based in an area not far from where I stay, called District 6.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

didn't get to see it last night but i'm def going to see it tonight

I thought Peter Jackson was a kiwi?

 

[Ermz]

What a coincidence. I just got back from seeing it. Absolute turd of a movie. 3rd time I wasted my cash and time at the movies this month. And they wonder why piracy is so rampant

 

[PhilTheBeard]

peter jackson just produced it neil blokamp i think thats his name directed it

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, I see that now. And I gotta say, after reading my man Ebert's review of it, this will definitely be one to wait for the DVD! (only to rent, of course )

Exactly. The suspense was killer... my heart thumped loud enough at times that I had to really use my ears to the movie cuz it was getting hard to hear RARELY do movies do that to me, NEVER like this one did. I'm 1/2 tempted to go see it again (have only done that to like 2 movies in my life)

 

[GarethSE]

only david lynch's later stuff even comes CLOSE to doing that to me
and even then, only inland empire actually went the extra mile and actually induced it at all (but that ended up being 3 hours of hell on earth, utterly incredible haha) for some reason i cant imagine this film putting me in the same position haha.

 

[Metaltastic]

Wait, Inland Empire is 3 hours long?

I'm just afraid it'll be a "ALIENS ARE BAD AND WANT NOTHING MORE TO KILL US, SO HUMANITY MUST RALLY AND LAY WASTE TO THE INVADERS" movie

No worries -- it's a "foreign" film, so it's closer to "WHITE PEOPLE FEAR AND EXPLOIT ANYONE WHO LOOKS DIFFERENT". I keed, I keed...

THIS MOVIE WAS SO AWESOME. GO. GO NOW.
