District 9

anyone seen it? im gonna go out later to watch it, i just wanna kno if anyone thinks i should NOT.. no spoilers plz

Saw it last night. It was good, but totally not what I was expecting.

I saw it yesterday.

It takes a looooooong time to get started.

I'd recommend seeing it on a bigscreen but I'll also say that if you wait for video it's not that big a deal.

Umm, I'm 12, and it's rated R. Why is it rated R, cuz I really want to see it?

I was going to see it today, but I didn't feel like waiting in the mall for two hours because I ran out of money..malls aren't fun if you don't have funds. =/
I saw Orphan though...and all I can say is blah. It wasn't what I was expecting. Not very scary at all..
I'm looking forward to The Final Destination and Halloween 2. =D

For myself, the first hour felt like 2 hours, and the second hour flew by. I'm just not a big fan of the documentary style movies.

The movie's rating should have a little text at the bottom on why they rated it R. Off the top of my head, likely the violence and gore (exploding people).

It wasn't what I was expecting, which is why I liked it...

...also, the last 30 minutes of the film makes the movie work.

I'm suposoto go see it later, I will let you know what I think of it, but by that time you will have already seen it probably.

yeah I did not expect the movie at all, to go the direction it did.

oh MAN! now im excited!
gonna see it at 6:40 ><;

I kind of want to know about the movie, then I kind of don't. I was going to go see it later but I changed my mind because of the mixed reviews. Instead i'll go on Wednesday when it's a lot cheaper then the weekend.

really? at teh theater i go to its just a flat rate no matter wut lol. unless ur adult / kid / senior of course. or student!
which reminds me!! i went to the theater with my sister and her bf, he used his school ID (we got it at the SAME TIME) and we dont even go to it anymore, and he got a student discount... when i used MY ID, he said "oh its not up to date"

WTF

My local theatre is AMC Palace, it's like $8 on weekends, and like $4 on weekdays.

Saw it a few hours ago. I liked it alot. Lots of cursing and squishy things though...

Not for the faint of heart.

Now if only I could make those machines work...

Prawns..

that was a pretty good movie :D

i kinda didnt like teh ending, but it was still GREAT. there ending varies on how u see the entire movie..

neither do i =\. i LOVED the first 1 or 2, but the 3rd one was dumb... and i honestly cant see them make it any better

I liked the ending, and the special effects were great. Overall though, it was too gory for my tastes. The first half of the movie was especially graphic - but then again, maybe it's because were sitting right up near the screen... (moral of the story is always come early on opening night :rolleyes:)

it was a decent movie. i was expecting something similar to independence day though. it was kinda a disappointment to be honest, but worth watching.

I saw it and liked it. It was pretty slow at first but ended up getting a lot better.

I agree.

Gory.....

But a good movie none the less.

it WAS gory, but it was really intricate which kinda made all the chaos seem evil genious-ish LOL.

prawn! xD and i wanted to add, i LOVE the way they said teh F word in District 9, it made it partially comedic ^-^

Really? I actually liked the fact that they went in a total different direction with it; it was, refreshing and original. Alien movies are usually only about 2 things: 1 - We come in peace, or 2. Die EARTHLIIINGS! lol

The alien weapons were SWEET! I luved it.

YA!!!!! that made me drool!!1

I started to watch it, but it started off too slow for me to get interested in, so I didn't watch it. If a movie can't pickup my interest in the first 5-10 minutes or so, i'll never end up watching that movie.

Sorry for bumping a kinda old thread.

We (My BF and I) have friends that were born and raised in South Africa, actually 15 mins away from where they filmed the movie. They were really excited about it, but they have a 3 month old and can't go see it. It was kinda cool to see an entire movie in the South African accent!

I personally loved the movie. The lead character reminded me alot of Micheal Scott from The Office. We're huge fans of The Office, and since it's not airing right now, it was nice to watch that kinda of oblivious humor. It was extremely gory, but they didn't dwell too much on the gory parts, which I liked.

If only aliens like that were real! Imagine what we could learn...

Edit: I kinda giggled to myself when people were talking about the rating, I ran into some complications while trying to buy tickets. My BF was coming from work to the theater, and so I offered to buy his ticket so we could just walk in and sit down. I go and try to buy two tickets, and they ask for the second persons ID. ...Why would I carry someone else's ID on me?! Apparently, at our theater only according to the manager, you need to be 21 to buy more than one ticket for a rated R movie. We do have alot of teenagers that hang outside the theater, so I'm guessing people have been sneaking them in. So in 5 months I'll be able to DRINK and buy TWO tickets for a rated R movie! WOO HOO! Jinkies... lol...

that bites! im 19 and i bought tickets for me and my friend =D

and i didnt hafta show my ID ;p

i look really young too

I appsolutley loved the originality of it. The graphics were the best I have ever seen and the plot was very realistic to me.
