I like it and One of the great sci-fi movie.

I was very impressed that movie was 30 million dollars budget.
 
Yes you assume correct. What do other forums have to do with me asking what happened to the District 9 thread in the upcoming/sequels section?



Maybe because I found them cool looking like I wrote in the post. A poster is a poster, no matter if it comes out next month or if it came out last year. What does a poster have to do with when the film gets released?
 
Exactly same film a friend and I are discussing abt on facebook. A must watch for me... even Times magazines websites recommends it, just can't be a bad watch!
 
You did!


[spoilers="District 9"]The movie explained that the aliens we saw were low-level workers, and that their "leadership" had died off. The implication is that they use some kind of caste system, with a large gap between the various members of the species. They possess raw intelligence, but the idea is that they've basically just been manual laborers or engineers their entire lives. They're also, of course, very desperate and run-down by the time we see them.

I'll agree, however, that it might have stretched this point just a little bit at times. I buy the explanation, though perhaps not to enough of a degree to account for everything we see on screen.[/spoilers]


[spoilers="District 9"]Well, there's a big difference between a plot hole, and something which is deliberately unexplained. The aliens running out of fuel is not a plot hole, it's just something we're not told about. For all we know there was a leak, or a technical malfunction. There are plenty of possible explanations.

As for the weapons: I think that, too, is explained by their leadership dying off. By the time the humans actually fly up there and break into the ship they're already starving and trapped without adequate power, and obviously the weapons are mostly confiscated. Some are floating around on the black market, but not enough for some kind of mass uprising, obviously.[/spoilers]

- energy for the ship to launch just so happens to turn humans into aliens
- the media is covering all of this , yet once the mercenary decides to shoot Wikus nobody's there
- Wikus' father-in-law puts Wikus in charge of the whole operation and supposdly really likes him - although he dosen't hesitate for a second to trade Wikus for some cash
[/spoilers]

Another one that kind of comes off as an epic plot-hole is that the movie is set in reasonably modern times and nothing much is different rather than the aliens coming to Earth - although the world is very different in that MNU basically controls the entire planet.
 
I just watched this on DVD!

It is a very good movie. The story might have been told before, but the execution: the effects, the cinematography, and the acting were brilliant.

I give it a [rating]4.5[/rating]
 
Alien Nation meets Laser Blast.

Not very original or fresh - but looks cool!
 
If the person/s who own the copyright to a movie have authorized the movie to be shown on line for free, then it is legal... if they have not authorized it, it is illegal....
 
Really? That was one of the things that I particularly liked about it--that it is original.
 
I wonder why it wouldn't work for me there Yoda.

edit: I don't get what you're saying there Meat. Christopher mentioned that their technology is biotech stuff. And you're "epic plot-hole" is not a plot-hole.
 
What I don't get it...why people are complaining about this movie is a plot-hole or thought Alien is smart than human being?......Alien doesn't exist and how do we know that if Alien smarter than Human Being?

I like this film because it's different than other "Alien" movie....we don't have to listen to the same story over and over, etc. At least this movie is something different.
 
The discussion of illegally downloading/viewing movies is frowned upon on Movie Forums so I suggest you keep your intentions to yourself in the future... of course, the smartest thing to do would be to go to the theater and pay to see the movie or wait until the DVD comes out and legally rent it...
 
Well I just saw it. I was disappointed. I was expecting a low budget hard hitting sci fi action movie, and instead its Alien Nation meets Doctor Who.
Having said that it was well made, the director has real promise, but hardly was what I wanted to see.
 
Pfft, if you're paying for it, it's not. However, I doubt this guy was paying for it.

There's a clearly defined line there, of which, I'm not sure if it's clear enough for either of you.
