District 9 - contains spoilers

Did anyone else see District 9?

I saw it, and it wasn't as good as I hoped. I don't know if my expectations were just too high to begin with.

I thought it was excellent, but I had no idea what it was about going in. It was a little violent for my tastes, but I loved the story and the ending was amazing.

That was part of my problem with it - it was more 'robocop' shoot em up instead of scifi... I prefer the SciFi end of it.

I would have preferred more explanation - for example, what WAS the stuff in the cylinder; and how could it both fuel the ship and infect the guy?

And on the shooting end of it - since the guy had the huge gun that wiped out everything in its path, why didn't he just kill everyone there at the end in one big rampage instead of killing 2 people and running, etc etc etc.... made no sense!

Re: District 9 - contains spoilers

i thought this movie was 'different'
for a sci-fi movie. The parallels
to society past & present was interesting


did not like the 'Cloverfiled' type
filming of it though

I had no expectations going in and I loved it!

I thought the filming style was much easier to watch than Cloverfield.

Can't wait for the sequel!
