District 9

Just saw a preview of this; must say, has me intrigued. I first thought it was an 'Alien Nation' remake, but towards the end of the trailer, you see it's not, though maybe inspired by.

Yeah, I'm very much looking forward to this film. Hopefully, we'll see more of the aliens' appearance in the actual movie (since the one's face is blurred out in the trailer). Anyway I'm intrigued as well.

Yeah if the film is as interesting as the way it's being promoted then it'll be good.

The website is good.

It looked rather good up until you see the alien at the end... I've got to see more of the design but from that shot it looked a bit cheesy to me.

yesterday, after watching wolverine, i saw the trailer and it might be a sleeper hit. it's he best sci fi trailer i've seen since cloverfiled.

I came home afterward played the trailer on youtube for couple of people and the were like "..whoa".

At first when I seen it I thought it was some kind of documentary or telethon infomertial asking for donations while asking that the UN peace keepers leave their country cause they were somehow more a detrement than a benefit. then I saw peter jacksons' name and saw that alien interview while it was speaking in it's tounge and man. To me this looks like it's gonna be a must see movie.

With it being set in South Africa it's quite clearly an odd look at the Apartheid years.

This is based on the short film "Alive in Joberg" by the same director (Blomkamp, who was on board to direct the Halo movie before it was canned).

The aliens are a massive improvement in the new full length film, those in the short look like rejects from Doctor Who...

After i saw Peter Jackson's name followed by a view of that "cloud city" and that alien interview i immediately thought "Halo", but was unfortunately incorrect, but not upset cause from the trailer the movie looks really good. And it's a Peter Jackson production so i have some confidence in the movie, as well.

I just saw "Alive in Joberg", and it was amazing. I have high hopes for "District 9".

Come on really. Are we really complaining about the alien now. Obviously it is made out to look like an insect which fits perfectly with the metaphor of forcing them to live in slums lol. All i can say is that this trailer entertained me more than the movie..,WOLVERINE...,fukin balls man...,fukin balls.

Jinx has a point, as Origins was balls. Sweaty, sticky balls.

So you're pretty much saying "I'd rather look at a trailer that shows nothing but a giant spaceship and an insect from space that lasts less than five minutes over Wolverine kicking some major ass which is awesome. I'm just an idiot."

You are sad sad people.

Don't call anyone else an idiot when you lack basic comprehension. He said Wolverine was balls, I agree with him on that aspect, hence my "sweaty, sticky balls" comment.

There was nothing "awesome" or awe inspiring about that movie, you thinking it is, is sad.

Well look who's acting like smartass of the year.

Nothing awesome? My god your comment is a load of BS. Wolverine fighting that jeep and the helicopter looked awesome. If you didn't even find that to be awesome, how do you even know what awesome is?

You called me an idiot on both something I didn't initially say and for not liking a [lame] movie. If I'm the smart-ass of the year, then you take the dumb-ass O.T.Y. title, sir.

That helicopter scene was decent, at best. Funny thing you bring that up, as after that scene, the movie took a serious nose-dive all the way to the crashing (ie fail) end.

I said you acted like one. ACTED. When I say you act like a smartass I mean you're trying to sound smart but really you're not. You take the dumbass title, sir.

😂

love Wolverine dude but there were no risks, story, acting or even Special effects. It was a cheap toy made it china for pennies and sold in america for millions. Do you understand what i mean, homie? The movie lacked heart...soul or even goddamn direction. That's all i'm sayin.

About district, however. That movie trailer looked new, and interesting. Not quite sure if it's some more propaganda bullshit which it may be but it looks as though it reminds me of a well thought out story such as "Alien Nation". I don't know though, all i've seen is the trailer and peter jacksons name 😂 I bet you a thousand dollars though, it'll be a heap loads better than Wolverine. Just because Wolverine was better than Xmen 1 and 3 doesn't mean it's a good thing. Someone made a comic book hero film with passion and it flopped...Edward Nortons, The Hulk. See, people just want more of the same senseless bullshit shoved down their throats. Pretty colors fast pictures and beautiful actors. There are people out there trying to transform comic book stories into art rather than a cheap lame gimmick 😮‍💨 I never thought i'd say it...,Wolverine sucks. Logan can suck a wang because im sick and tired of having him shoved down my goddamn throat. Every true fan knows that Cyclops is the Leader of the X-men. Not Wolverine and the X-men...,wtf is that? 😠

Kids are being brainwashed today. Go rewatch the cartoons of the xmen dude. It's sad when two half hour, Saturday morning cartoon shows are far better than Multi million dollar movies.
