Guest joshier Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Saw last night at cinema, well worth it. I really liked the robot stuff, the fact that the aliens were actually the kind ones, the aliens GUI for computers really fucking cool. Didn't want it to end but the director said on wikipedia he would make a continuance if it had positive reviews.

gaarg Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah, I only thought this movie was great if I compared it with Independence day (because of the aliens and giant spaceship). The context however has/had nice potencial.

lumpenprol Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 this is one case where I agree with zaphod's merciless review. I thought the film started just fine - some have said they didn't like the main character and that was the point, I though chosing a friendly but clueless racist as protagonist was bold and fresh - but once it turned into an actioner it lost whatever intelligence and maturity were present at the start. Not that there was anything wrong with going in the direction of pure action, just that Peter Jackson's grubby pawprints became glaringly obvious at that point, with the unintentionally hilarious and overblown "robot death sequence" and other maudlin and cliche touches. Really, fuck Peter Jackson in his furry kiwi bumhole. I hope Peter Blomkamp is able to resist Jackson's meddling if he does a sequel, though I don't see any signs that he really has that much to say, which is probably what made him so receptive to Jackson's influence in the first place.

awesomeperson Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 The CGI animation was really choppy like they cut some frames to save on rendering time, the story ended up being wank, he gets in contact with alien fuel and he turns... no real enemy made the second part where the action begins a bit dull, the sniper dude was basically the villain . District 10 seems obviously, hopefully they don't throw in the bin everything that was good about the first movie, I'm sure they will because more money, more problems.

six Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Saw it last night, I really liked it! I didn't get into the hype so I really had no idea what it was about aside from aliens being involved. As others have mentioned it has some strong shades of Alien Nation. Parts got a little ridiculous, yes, but it was really entertaining and a fairly original story I think. I admit I kind of liked the first part better where there were obvious parallels to apartheid and all that, but I was way entertained by the splatter fest at the end too. A nice balance I thought, if maybe a little disjointed.

chenGOD Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I quite enjoyed this film. The protagonist was really interesting, i thought he did a good job of being quite selfish. His shift to supporting the one prawn could have been a little more gradual maybe. Not top 250 material, I'd probably give this a 7 out of 10.

Guest Pennywise Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 It was a good film. Although it's a bit farfetched that the alien fuel also erm, turns people into the aliens.

thehauntingsoul Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 This was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's really refreshing to see that with all the crappy derivative films and remakes being made these days, there's still some really cool and original ideas coming out of hollywood. The fact that they showed all the guns was really awesome as well.
