I really really really would like to see a sequel there are so many questions to be answered. The story line with the main character and the Prawn coming back in three years is just to good for Peter and Neil to pass hope. Or at least I hope!

Re: District 9

Question, is it a better movie then Public Enemies? (a movie I really liked)

I liked it better. It's more original than Public Enemies. No Johnny Depp-like star power, but you will see things you've probably not seen before in a movie and it will actually challenge your mind, unlike PE which was just basically a mindless summer flick. Has more action than Public Enemies as well with some really cool weapons.

Yes; don't get me wrong, Public Enemies was pretty good, but the special effects and uniqueness of District 9 make it the best summer movie IMO

Re: District 9

I liked it walking out, as it sank in over night, I loved it. Really made you think.

In other news, Zombieland is now a must see after the trailer before it.

Re: District 9

Saw last night, thought it was entertaining. Obvious/interesting parable to apartheid. Could make the argument that the humans were a little too one dimensional; "Christopher" and his son were the most interesting characters in the movie by far. Would love to see a sequel although I know it won't happen - and probably shouldn't. Very nice special effects also. Star Trek still remains the best movie I've seen this summer, but this was good (although not necessarily a "summer" movie)

I loved all the underlying tones about people.

Re: District 9

I want those Alien Weapons too. Damn those things were cool.

Yeah after seeing that trailer, I felt the same way. Woody Harrelson should work very well in that role.

I loved all the underlying tones about people.

Maybe that's what I meant to say. I was thinking of what kind of message is this movie trying to send about us as people? I didn't really make the apartheid connection that spankdatazz mentioned even though the location of the movie was South Africa. I guess I was looking for something deeper? I don't know.

I've seen quite a few movies this summer. Still loved "Star Trek" the most but this was a close 2nd.

Random side-note: I laughed so hard during the preview for Legion at the old lady

After you posted that, I was waiting for something to happen when that preview came one. Yeah, that was pretty damn funny.

Re: District 9

My wife and I saw this on Friday. We both enjoyed it a lot. I was amazed at how well the lead did, especially considering he's never been in a film before.

My only gripe at all was the 8 trailers they showed before the film. I love trailers but 8 is a bit much. I can't even remember what most of them were now. Though, Zombieland did look like fun and Legion looked like a decent rental.

Loved it.

Don't really know what else to say that hasn't been said already.

Re: District 9

I just got back from seeing it and it was great. I don't want to sound redundant, but the special effects and the lead actor were amazing. A lot of undertones throughout the film, but I felt they did a good job not throwing **** right in your face.

Re: District 9

I have come to the conclusion that the only people who don't like this movie are completely insane.

I couldn't understand all of the horror-thriller trailers. I didn't think that the people going to see District 9 would be particularly interested in movies like that. That's what grinded my gears.

Movie was A+ tho. I have to see it again!
