District 9---- What....the.....f%^&???

**JDawg1536** · 08-21-2009, 01:09 PM

How did this movie get an 8.8 on IMDB and an 88% on rotten tomatoes? That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

**gixxerboy1** · 08-21-2009, 01:24 PM

**Dukkit** · 08-21-2009, 01:25 PM

**-Ender-** · 08-21-2009, 01:44 PM

not what I wanted to hear either, thought it looked good.

**Undercover** · 08-21-2009, 02:08 PM

I usually enjoy these movies. Fiction with a political message!

District 9 looks promising.

**JDawg1536** · 08-21-2009, 02:46 PM

Well don't let my opinion stop you from seeing it. Obviously I'm in the minority in my thinking, but it's beyond me why that is. Tons of holes in a mediocre story and a dash of bad acting. The special effects and computer generated stuff were amazing, but that didn't make up for it IMO.

**RuhlFreak55** · 08-21-2009, 02:58 PM

i thought it was AWESOME

**TITANIUM** · 08-21-2009, 03:01 PM

It was ok I thought.

The air conditioning was awesome though!!!

**RuhlFreak55** · 08-21-2009, 03:02 PM

the beginning was a bit slow i'll admit but i thought the story was awesome....also didn't pick up on that political message there apparently is but then again i hate political messages so my brain usually ignores them totally

What are some of your favorite movies?

**xlxBigSexyxlx** · 08-21-2009, 05:11 PM

It starts slow, but I enjoyed the movie. Good stuff. (District 9)

Inglorious Basterds was awesome.

The Goods was hilarious.

if i see that i'm gonna talk about killing 'natzis' for like weeks on end i think

**roserose** · 08-21-2009, 05:40 PM

I agree the first 15mins were slow but overall I really liked it. It was unpredictable and creative. Also I've never seen a movie so blatantly set up a sequel.

**Hoggage_54** · 08-21-2009, 05:44 PM

I really enjoyed it. It is a very unique movie in the way it is presented.

**THE_DOME** · 08-21-2009, 05:59 PM

It started out alright and went downhill from there.

**J-Dogg** · 08-21-2009, 06:04 PM

I did not like it either!!!!!

The previews I don't feel had a direct reflection on the movie, any action that was in the movie, was a preview, and equally as long.

Very little closure I felt in the movie, like it ended at the climax of the film.

Some people may like being left with a linger, but I like to see the plot finished.

**mho** · 08-21-2009, 06:08 PM

I thought the movie was good. Very original.

**southmadejd** · 08-21-2009, 10:09 PM

You guys are crazy.....I thought this movie was very original and refreshing. It gave a different take on what would happen if aliens came to earth. Maybe it wouldn't be all great and maybe it wouldn't be a big war.....I thought this was very ********** and a good movie.

**lovbyts** · 08-21-2009, 10:31 PM

I agree, it was a GOOD movie. Much better than most of the SiFi movies latley and I see most of them. Very original. I cant wait for District 10

Are you ****ing joking me? That movie sucked balls, a total shit fest in terms of suckage. It was barely laughable and the shit that was funny wasn't even LOL funny, but chuckle funny.

With the actors they had, should have been alot better, but pardon me you also probably think Carlos Mencia is funny too.

But District 9 was good, damn good, could have used more action, but I liked how they gave an almost human feel to the alien characters.

**mho** · 08-22-2009, 09:15 AM

I'm really looking forward to district 10.

Pulp Fiction, The Fugitive, Fargo, Shawshank Redemption, City of God, and Good Will Hunting off the top of my head. A couple older movies I like are Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Zulu. Some newer ones I liked were Gran Torino and Slumdog Millionaire.

**beatango2008** · 08-22-2009, 06:04 PM

I saw the movie, it was okay.
all the good parts were in the trailer, but I must say I was expecting more.

Movies I cant wait to see, Holloween 2, The Final Destination.
Those look awesome, I also want to see Inglourious Bastards

No it comes out Friday I think,
Orphan was more of a thriller than a horror movie

true...the only people that would have been terrified are little kids and couples that previously had been considering adopting lol

**beatango2008** · 08-22-2009, 06:49 PM

One of the best movies I've seen in a while.

**bushido3374** · 08-23-2009, 12:07 AM

I saw the movie and loved it. The sociological and political metaphores were completely accurate. Psychologically, all of the human races bonded together to repress these aliens who looked even less like them, which is how human nature works until they are educated past that.
They broke alot of Space Alien lands on Earth stereo types to make this story. Great special effects, I didn't find the beginning slow at all. There was so much going on (implied) that would keep someone guessing and predicting.

**Friend** · 08-23-2009, 12:22 AM

It's a good movie, i enjoyed it.

**Skully44420** · 08-23-2009, 02:35 AM

just finished watching it...it was slow at the beginning but got better once it went on...will definately be watching district 10 when it comes out.

**beatango2008** · 08-23-2009, 05:10 AM

haha pretty sure its going to be district 9 part 2

**lovbyts** · 08-23-2009, 06:04 AM

No it will be District 10, they gave that away at the end of the movie when they moved all the aliens to their new location, District 10...

**CptAmericaX** · 08-23-2009, 10:51 AM

I liked it

Did anyone else read about the district 6?

It was some camp in the 1960's in Cape Cod south africa and it was a whites only town.

And they relocated them.

I did not read too deep into it, but the movie district 9 was based off the "district 6" in the 1960's.

**Immortal Soldier** · 08-23-2009, 02:26 PM

Idk what the hell District 10 is going to be about?

The aliens causing a war?

**canadian meat** · 08-23-2009, 02:38 PM

I just finished watching it and thought it was good except for the blatant racist attitudes toward the aliens.

**sizerp** · 08-23-2009, 05:48 PM

Yeah lol, they coulda done without all that racism...

Seriously though, District 9 was an instant classic... sequel will be awesome...

**Tock** · 08-24-2009, 05:08 PM

Ya, I expected better from the trailer I saw. It was somewhere between tolerable and OK. If it didn't have the good special effects, I'd probably have asked for my $$$ back. I should have gone to watch some male strippers.

The latest Star Trek movie was surprisingly good, though. Both Spocks were way too emotional, IMHO. But the young McCoy they found was awesome.
