Members sp4me Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Loved it. Another win from team Jackson. Brilliant concept, brilliant execution, and a refreshing dose of originality that you only rarely see. Would watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I thought it was fantastic.On a side note, watched 'The Hurt Locker' and 'Brothers.' Both very good films. I agree. Hurt Locker was really good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Just watched it. I liked it and cant wait for the sequel. Im assuming it will be in about 3 years:confused: What do you think of this movie? I didnt care for the shakey cam in much of it, but it was a good movie. Did not like it at all. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Was expecting more... A hell of a lot more . . . for me, this movie did not deliver, at all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PhilBelanger Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I saw it a few days ago. The shakey cam was a drag. Good movie but expected more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JAFH Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Good Movie. A little heavy-handed, but I'll give it a solid 7.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlb32 Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I liked it. It was different than what I was expecting but overall I still liked it. I wish they had did more at the beginning with the aliens arriving and at the ending outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whiteop Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 liked the thinking outside the box concept. We keep looking for UFOs / aliens in the skies for thousands of years and then one of em runs out of gas right in a major city for all to see and they end up living here. Pretty radical. The only thing I disliked about the movie was the cockroach look of the aliens. Overall it was a good movie because it stepped outside of the normal boundaries. I'd like to see some more sci-fi movies where the scenarios are more realistic (turning on lights in rooms before going into them, staying together, calling in for reinforcements and waiting before going into a building, etc...). It's time for some new ideas and realism would definitely help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jesse G Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I liked it. I found all the obvious messages about racism to be pretty overbearing and tiresome, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 avatar no. It was a good movie overall, but did a little too much overpromising. Visually, they did outstanding, but otherwise not memorable enough. District 9, though, creative marketing, lived up to the hype, it was a solid movie. Movie of the decade, I don't know, too hard to say, movie of the year, it's got tough competition from Star Trek I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FastRedPonyCar Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I really liked it. It was nothing like I thought it would be. Refreshingly different and good special effects but a cool meshing together of lots of various other sci fi themes and ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zoomzilla Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 The trailers made it seem like it would be different than it really was. I thought it would be sick based on the trailers. It did not turn out to be as sick as I thought. First off, the interviews in the beginning gave away the end. Secondly, the Aliens were really that wimpy that they could not destroy the humans and did not mind being stuck in the slums? They had tons of guns stockpiled, yet took it up the but from the Nigerians and other humans? Not very realistic. It was not a bad movie, but I thought it could have been a lot better.

It's ok though.. all of it happened in Africa so the rest of the world didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JKD Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I never saw any of the hype nor really had much a clue what it was about going in, other than an alien theme....so I found it a really refreshing film and entertaining. ...always best not to listen to the hype/reviews on anything I find....that and the fact that I do not watch TV helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOOOM over your head. Anyway good movie, but not as good as many people make it out to be. I'm looking forward to not seeing a sequel but seeing more from the director/writer.

Members thinkpad20 Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I didn't really see the ending as a sequel setup at all really... I mean sure it's there if they want but the real meat and potatoes has already been accomplished, and the open-ended finish was I think more just to make people think than to look for a sequel.

I'm surprised people saw it as a pure sequel setup. I didn't feel any need for closure after the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
