District 9...Who saw it?

[Sonny]

My boss saw this weekend and said he really liked it. What do the rest of you have to say?

[Robin Binder]

Saw it yesterday with Marc. It got really graphic and at times I had to turn my head. I found the twist interesting and of course it's open for the second movie.

Is it one of those movies you would buy - maybe

Is it one of those movies you would go see again with a friend that hasn't - no

I did find myself thinking yesterday, how would I have made the move better. The dialogue between the pawns and people were less than I expected. I would have loved to see more organization in the pawns; they were together for 30 years and nothing. I expect if there is a remake, I'd like to see their new pawn organizing the different ranks.

I might see it, when it is released to tv....so no spoilers please

i agree, while i liked it - it fell just a bit short for me. my family loved it though. we all throught it drew an interesting parallel to the real situation in johanesburg.. i thought the main character did a great job though

[kamari]

It wasn't what I expected. I guess I ran off and made assumptions from seeing the trailer and thought this would be a summer blockbuster. It probably still will be from all of the advertising, but it fell short of what I expected. I guess I was looking for-well heck I don't really know what I was looking for. I guess maybe a more dramatic conflict between human and alien.

Was it pretty violent? It looks good but it just seemed like it would be pretty graphic.

Weren't they called prawns; as in shellfish? Maybe I misunderstood.

They were called "Prawns" because they looked like giant shrimp walking on legs! LOL! I thought it was mindless entertainment so I liked it! I don't want to have to think about how this affects that or how this affects whomever, I just want to be entertained and I was for the $5.00 matinee price!

I am not a shrimp! I am a KING PRAWN!



Sorry, I couldnt resist.

I have to go see it for myself. The opinions are split down the middle.
