Best Sci-fi movie ever. I loved district 9. This movie is freakin' awesome! Best alien movie ever. My girlfriend also thought it was great.
 
Super-old news but here're some of my thoughts on District 9 and Avatar. It's reposted content from my blog if you were wondering. Reading it again after a month or so, I'd probably want to rewrite it or add/take away some points, but I'm too lazy to do so now.

District 9 is by and large a very good film and a very hard film to dislike, but here I have managed it. If only because District 9 and James Cameron
 
Yeah, they have a crucial job, but I don't think they need worldwide power. The aliens landed in Johannesburg, after all, so I don't have much trouble believing that they were left to deal with it.

Either way, the fact that 20 years has passed and an otherwise amazing thing has become mundane and depressing is part of the point the film is making, I think, and it's one of the things that makes it so interesting. We, the audience, come at it from an entirely different perspective than the people in the film, for whom the amazement has faded, and all that's left in its place is an impossible problem.
 
That's cool. I have seen nothing here. Maybe it's because I live in the suburbs.

Yeah, I kind of got off-topic from plot holes to unexplained aspects. I think you are just naming possible things that COULD'VE happened, and you're guessing. I guess this movie does leave you to come up with the explanations, which isn't always a bad thing. But, again, the whole thing isn't very realistic to me. This movie kind of takes an opposite approach to the alien species, I think, because aliens are (and should be) usually portrayed as a higher order species than humans. Sci-Fi is a great genre when everything comes together, it is at least somewhat reasonable, and most plot points are explained.

The aliens' ability to use weapons is supposed to be due to genetics. However, we don't know why they were almost immovable when their mothership was invaded by the Earthlings, and it appears that the Earthlings removed most all of their weapons at that time when they were weakest. Of course, there's always the "Secret Info" reason: Payback in a Sequel!!
 
It was good, really good, but best sci-fi ever? In my opinion it is not even best sci-fi this year as Moon takes that.
 
Which i really don't think will happen. I personally am really excited and would love to find out what Christopher's next plan of action or if it's even up to him he may not even be the 'leader' maybe of that ship yes but i bet on their planet there are higher forms of leadership but then again who knows? that's why i want a sequel because there are so many different ways that it could go and i wanna know!
 
just another short-haired, skinny person who likes games and science fiction...amazing!
 
Unless that movie is "Dude who stole my car."

D9 was entertaining, but there were too many cliche action movie scenes. I'm not sure if they were doing this to be ironic, or just because they couldn't think of anything else.
