I think it looks awesome......I've only watched a couple previews, which is my style when I see something which looks interesting, helps keep from ruining it

I can't remember the last time I actually went to a movie, but I have to admit that I'll likely see this one in a theater. It looks good. I like the documentary-type format.

We just heard a womans and a mans opinion
 . The chicks should stick to "500 Days of Summer". Both movies have the same rating on Rotten Tomatoes (88%).

Don't be so hard on yourself, monkey.
 Anyway, The showing around here all sold out early last night. ...on multiple screens. I was a bit stunned. I can't imagine any movie is worth having to wait hours for the chance to be packed in like sardines. We made other plans.

Seriously - it was a dog...
Steve said it was "just OK" (coming from an avid Simpsons fan). Our 13 year old son didn't even like it. It could only be more of a dog if it crawled on all fours into the aisle, squatted on its haunches, pitch its nose skyward and howl piteously at the waste of cinematic effort accumulated in this bowser. Did you ever see Starship Troopers? THAT is a much better movie... (oh and thanks stomachmonkey - you're pretty cool yourself!) angela

The new GI Joe movie totally sucked too.
Nothing like a kid's movie with interracial kissing and stuff to make your little 10 yo god-son start asking all kinds of questions you'd rather not be answering. WTF, over. |

Moviefone: "Sci-fi lovers should geek out over '9,' one of the most original and inspired genre movies to hit theaters in years." Variety: "This grossly engrossing speculative fiction bears Jackson's blood-splattered fingerprints but also heralds first-time feature director Neill Blomkamp as a nimble talent to watch." Bloody Disgusting: "'District 9' is hands down the best film of the summer and has made me love movies all over again. It's engaging, explosive, and pure nonstop awesomeness -- it's what big summer movies are supposed to be." The Hollywood Reporter: "Combining the very best of the postwar sci-fi movies with their trenchant political undertones and pulse-pounding dynamism and contemporary movie technology that can blend aliens seamlessly into a realistic human world of urban and moral decay, 'District 9' flirts with greatness." Entertainment Weekly: "What begins with 'news' footage out of South Africa ends with headline news here at home: District 9 proves that there's intelligent alien life in the movie universe this summer." Sci-Fi Squad: "We were prepared for massive amounts of CGI, but we were definitely not prepared for the huge amounts of awesome that were dumped into our eyes and brains. Honestly, I haven't been this moved by a film or a performance in quite some time." Cinema Blend: "It's impressive not just as a debut, but as a new example of how to use original sci-fi as a mirror to our own world, and without $200 million budgets and space battles or even hobbits. Peter Jackson took the money he made making a faithful and beautiful adaptation, and has used it to fund something truly, remarkably original." Hollywood & Fine: "The 'wow' factor in Neill Blomkamp's 'District 9' is huge -- so much so that it would be easy to overlook what a soulful, tragically heroic story it is." |

 . I'd say more, but I don't want to give any spoilers.I liked Starship Troopers... numbers 2 and 3 were kind of awful. Starship Troopers 2 was more like soft core porn. My words might have come out harsh. They weren't aimed at specific people. I'm just under the impression that most women enjoy romantic comedies more than action sci-fi flicks. --Puff

I though it was quite well done.
It started strong and then devolved into a more common sci-fi movie towards the end. But there was a lot of subtext about racism and xenophobia. Snipe, I have to ask, Quote:

Caught it last night and thought it was awesome. If you're looking for something that is non stop gun fights from start to finish this isn't it (but when it is, wow). I liked Starship Troopers but it is a completely different movie from District 9. The showing last night (10:00) was predominantly male, but there were women in the audience. I could easily see it again.
