Can't really remember if anyones atarted a topic yet. I'm all for this film. Effects budget aside.

Imagine ALien NAtion, but how it would be more likely to pan out.

[Dilmah G]

I heard it was pretty 1337.

[NGTM-1R]

It's on my list.

[achtung]

Saw it, it's pretty good.

It's the first film that's actually kept me a bit on the edge of my seat in a long time.

[Titan]

I've been waiting for that movie since school let out. Then it was rated R, so I can't see it.

Just lie say you have short syndrome or something.

[Mefustae]

Saw it last night. Quite good, if I do say so.

Spoiler:

Specifically, I adore the exo-suit. It's everything powered armour should be, presented in a a believable fashion and displaying the capabilities true armoured exoskeletons designed for combat should have. When you get right down to it, it's a person wrapped in a main battle tank. It even presents an outward view of the HUD! Very, very cool moments.

Also, the lighting gun that exploded people was pure sex.

Generally, an extremely interesting look at the alien invasion trope. No destroyed cities, no biological infiltration, just good old fashioned people acting completely human in the most depressing way possible.

South Africa FTW

For those that have seen it, how much language and gore is in it. I've heard that the blood and gore factor earned it the R rating and that there were several F bombs, but any clue on how many?

F bombs? You ****ing mean ****ing saying ****? A word only has the meaning you give it.

[Mongoose]

Just give him the ****ing answer, then.

I saw it. Cannot recommend it strongly enough.

First movie since Children of Men that genuinely had me tense. Comparisons between the two abound, I might add.

[Zex Marquise]

Children of Men was tight. The ending was sad, though. Definitely needing to see this District 9 for epicness. Peter Jackson=win, gunfights and robots=win, aliens=win, disillusioned view of the government=win. With so much win, how could it not be good?

Fixed for great justice. (By the way, he didn't write or direct it.)

134 "F bombs" are used in the movie, it seems.

That's ****ing awesome.

[BloodEagle]

I disagree. 

[Ace]

I disagree. 

Well frak you.... CYLON! *whiskey spittle flies out of mouth*

[Bobboau]

you know there was only one of those 'f bombs' that I noticed, and that was because it was it was so appropriate. I'm not sure if saying there is a lot of blood and gore would be a appropriate description, it would be better to say there is a lot of raw meat.

overall I'd say it was a very good movie, though some times the people acted a little too evil to be believable.

[Locutus of Borg]

I liked the movie, even though some points disgusted me. (but not too much)

I thought I was going to hate the movie, but there's one scene

Spoiler:

When the protagonist escapes the medical facility

at which point I realized the movie was just beginning. I was sad to see it end.

I thought it was interesting for Joburg (of all places) to be where the ship stopped.
