nope. it surely isnt hyped up. No commercials in Denmark untill like a week before premiere and i stumbled upon it by accident. it works really well, there are points where you think its gonna tilt and become another shitty ass action alien movie but it doesnt.

Didn't expect to like it, but i really did :D


Special effects etc werent the best ive seen but they were good enough, good to see an actiony movie with a bit of more sustenance.



I literally lol'd everytime the lightning gun thing killed someone, some of the guns were just great.

I wonder if there will be a sequel or something? Surely he's got to come back in 3 years to turn him back and do something about the experimentation on his people?

Like the posters that have been slapped on a number of phone boxes in London:

There will be a sequel, the director has said so.

If I had to guess, I'd say she couldn't tell the difference between cockney and South African. :p

Didn't like it. It was a documentary, then a comedy, then action film, then you like the aliens/main guy. Was like they had lots of ideas, ill thought out and shoved them all together. Just found it boring.

Wait, so your calling a film that was a multitude of things, lots of good ideas presently well.. boring?, bet you must fall asleep sky diving you thrill seeker you.

District 9 was quality imo, sequel please to finish everything off.

No need for the last part of your email just cause I have a different opinion.

I don't like how they changed how the film was played out. Going from documentary to comedy to action etc etc. They should have stuck with 1 type and nailed it, not using several and not really getting it quite right.

Oh and what about the nigerians or wherever they were from trying to eat the arms and all that crap. Was nonesense!

It was an ok film overall, however I found it a little boring and predictable but maybe because that's because I saw him ingest the toxic fuel in the trailer.

There was one miniscule bit of comedy and that was the whole sex with an alien thing. It was what? 10 seconds worth of comedy.

He doesnt like it, that's his opinion and he's entitled to it, no need to be a dick about it. :p

I liked the documentary style, it was used well to set the scene and add a realistic feel to it all. I thought it flowed well and was inevitably going to turn to action, and rightly so :)

Yeah the sex scene with the main guy photoshopped onto the photo's. The part about prostitution between humans and aliens. Then the aliens in bikini's. The bit where the aliens start pee'ing everywhere. probably a few more I cant remember.

The documentary style was something I enjoyed. It started the film off really well and where they jumped to the scientist/psycologist people talking about the events added to the effect. I would have preferred it to have been shot like this with a few action parts. They would be describing the story and then you could watch the events in play.

Also thanks Megadave for your first paragraph. Does seem like people are a little hostile :p

Im not being hostile! I understand that not every one will like it. I just wasnt sure about the whole comedy thing that was all. But I forget about the aliens pissing lol
