Going to see District 9

[snorkel]

Thursday is boring, so I'm going to go see District 9's midnight release in a couple hours. It looks pretty fucking good and I've seen a few very positive reviews of screenings, so I'm expecting to be impressed.

Anyone else going to see it?

[Thyme]

Yeah, this next Tuesday.

Just got back, it was excellent. Solid 8/10, entertaining throughout, great story, amazing CG. Can't wait to see the director's future work.

[C.Mongler]

I too saw it last night. I thought it was sweet.

[Veal]

Oops didn't see this.

Yeah I loved it.

[Zach]

Just got back; It took a little while to really get going, but by about halfway through it was amazing.

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

Saw then aliens and the documentary style and thought, blegh.

Instead, it was terribly well done. Decent enough concept and didn't feel (melty) cheesy in the slightest.

[Dullahan]

Saw it today. Thought it was pretty good.

I liked the idea that there kinda were two antagonists.

[Chōshū]

I thought it was pretty good.

But honestly I was disappointed in the fact that nobody seemed to care about the scientific exploits of the aliens.

I mean, everyone in the movie was just like "lol silly dumb prawns" but if they're a species that's mastered intergalactic travel, something that's deemed near impossible by the laws of relativity and such, I'd think that the humans would be more than happy to learn from them instead of throwing them in slums.

But I guess I'm looking at the optimistic side of the situation.  Humans are...quite evil by nature I suppose and a situation like one presented in the movie  isn't all that far-fetched I suppose.

The movie was fucking awesome.
