District 9

[Rutabaga]

We saw this trailer before Wolverine yesterday...hadn't heard a peep about it, so it was something completely unknown to me. By the end of the trailer, it had me intrigued enough that I think it will be something worth seeing.

I was surprised too by the lack of any information about this. Unless I was just living under a rock. I'm quite curious/interested about it merely for that fact. Less hype could be good. Could be really good. And tis Peter Jackson!

[Wyl Staedtler]

I thought I remember seeing something like this on YouTube a while back. :huh

Looks cool though - and ZA FTW! \o/

Unpixelated alien with translation!

:) Alien apartheid is an interesting concept.

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's looking like a very interesting take on the whole immigration/over-population issue.

[Veritas]

I really want to see this :)

[Rutabaga]

Having the alien's dialog translated puts a really interesting and somewhat sad spin on the whole story. It makes me even more intrigued about the whole project.

So OK we don't get the money to make a movie about a guy named Master Chief and a bunch of aliens that want to enslave this world, let's make a movie about aliens that get enslaved in this world.

:)

[Dasquian Belargic]

It looks like a less camp version of Starship Troopers, atm.

[Crusader]

OK this might be a real underdog for the summer box office game.

[Rutabaga]

Saw this today, and I was quite impressed with it. Leave it to a $30 million movie from South Africa to put a lot of the Hollywood movies that came out this summer to shame. While definitely derivative of movies that have come before, it is nonetheless a well-done adult intense science fiction movie. With excellent acting too. I liked it a lot. :thumbup

[Morgan Evanar]

It looks like a less camp version of Starship Troopers, atm.I saw it on Saturday. It's absolutely nothing like Starship Troopers.

ZA FTL (in the context of the movie)

[Shadow Storm]

I saw it last night. It's not what you would call a classical movie in any sense. I don't even recall there being that much of a soundtrack, just a lot of action and gore following around an unique storyline.

[Droo]

What the hell is ZA?

[Morgan Evanar]

South Africa.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Can't wait to see it. Anyone want to come over and babysit Owen for us? :uhoh

[Crusader]

If you pay me the flight, I will babysit him for the entire weekend.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Just saw this... very good movie.

[Rutabaga]

My sister saw it for a second time today. She has not paid to see a movie for a second time since ET, during its original release. :eek

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I did see this, last weekend. I thought it was awesome.

Go.

See.

I endorse it. :)
