Just saw 'District 9'. All I have to say is "Wow". This is what a sci-fi movie should be. Compelling original story, great acting, excellent cinematography, & the SFX are amazing. And it only cost $30million to make. Peter Jackson's team has done it again, bringing emotion to CGI characters the same way they did in LOTR & King Kong.
Since the end of Battlestar Galatica, I've been waiting for a sci-fi film that is uncompromising in it's depiction of raw human emotion. District 9 has done that. If you are a sci-fi, you must see this movie. And even if you're not, it's still a brilliant piece of cinema I highly recommend.
Ok, so I know Diddy is gonna get pissy by this post and that he will take a bunch of cuts at me (like "Mark likes this crappy movie and that crappy movie, don't listen to him"). I saw District 9 Friday night. This movie sucked. It seriously was about as entertaining as watching my balls bounce for 2 hrs. I felt like the plot was ridiculous, worst of all the interaction between the humans and aliens felt so overdone and fake. You never for one second actually bought how the humans and aliens were interacting. If that felt "real" then I may of bought the crappy plot of the movie, but it didnt, so the movie just felt like fake Hollywood BS to me. Don't see this movie, you may shoot yourself out of boredom. Keep in mind Diddy is a film student and film students have to pretend to like shitty movies, as long as they are artsey, so they can seem smarter then everyone else and like they have some "understanding" for the arts. The only thing that I understand about this peice of art (District 9), is that I want to drop a deuce on it.
As the boys from "Men on Film" would say....HATED IT!
