District 9 is probably the best sci-fi movie since the Matrix. I actually teared up at the end. Seriously amazing movie. It's unbelievable what the made out of the tiny budget the had.

Also i heart the Incredibles.

wut, no. : ) glad you liked it though.

What would you say is the best sci-fi movie since the Matrix then?

Serenity, Star Wars, just off the top of my head. : ) Book of Eli...

Serenity was brilliant but District 9 is still better just for the emotional punch it has. It only really has one or two actual deep emotional moments whereas D9 is pretty much like that throughout.

Star Wars has before the Matrix. Or at least the good ones were.

Never seen Book of Eli. Any good?

It's not exactly "Sci-Fi". More post-apocalyptic. And it's really good, but the best post-apocalyptic movie EVER would be The Road.

episode 3 was 2005, and it was better than District 9, Cannot believe you say D9 was better than Serenity though.... What is wrong with you? : )

I guess I just didnt get an emotional punch from D9. I didn't feel too sorry for the guy. He was a bit of a douche bag, i was more concerned with the big picture, and they didn't show me enough of that to make me happy.

Aaaaaaaand there goes your ability to have an opinion as you clearly have no taste. Episode 3 was the best of the prequels but the cleanest shit is still shit. I could wipe my testicles with worthier things than what Lucas puked up and called a 'script'.

Taste, perchance? 😎

That was the point of the movie. The fact that this guy was a completely spineless, racist douchebag at the start and actually grew to the point where he lays down his life for the 'creatures' he so reviled. Hell, the start of the movie has him killing Prawn babies and laughing about it. But by the end he becomes a legitimate hero in his own right. Its called 'character development' and its a gooooood thing. ✅

Personally I liked the closer, more personal storytelling direction they took. But meh, to each their own.

God dammit Stanford.

"Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate - and us - know you better."

In 18oo characters or less.

"Inception". Fact. End of story.

This is one of three required essays due by Dec. 31

It wouldn't be difficult if they gave me more than 25o god damn words to use.

Inception came after District 9. Therfore it can only hold the title of being the best sci-fi movie since D9.

Edit: RJ thinks that wizards can beat Superman. We need a new word for his retard levels. 'Sentiently challenged' or something.

Inception > D9. In fact, it might be the best Sci-Fi movie done so far.

Well we'll see about that when I watch it tomorrow. 😎

Though from what I hear, probably. 🙁

I don't know about best sci fi movie but Inception was infinitely better than D9.
