I just saw it with ahr... thought it was amazing!
Anyone else seen it?
EDIT - fun fact (from Wikipedia) "Originally, Neill Blomkamp was contacted by Peter Jackson to direct Halo, a film based on the video game series of the same name. When this project did not turn out due to internal disagreements between Fox, Universal and Microsoft, Jackson and those involved felt obligated to give Blomkamp financial support and a chance to direct another film, and it was decided that the short film Alive in Joburg could be expanded into a feature instead"
Fox, ect. killed the Halo movie, so they gave Blomkamp the money to make District 9...

A Halo movie may happen actually... I don't know if this is BS or not so don't get your hopes up.

I almost hope they don't make it... Halo has a good story, but wouldn't make a good movie... they'd have to make the MC have character, ect.

If they pull it off, it'll be awesome. If they fail it, suicide.

Saw it last night, liked it a lot, but a couple of facts that were necessary for the story to make sense were missing.

Just saw District 9. Pretty damn good movie. Didn't expect there to be that much emotion and all. I don't even really watch sci-fi movies (the only other good one I might've seen was Blade Runner) and I liked it.

Yeah, the trailer I saw made it look like a standard action movie... which wasn't the case at all.

Yeah the movie made me want to watch something 'not-sad' like a comedy or anything that'll make me laugh because it sort of put me in that mood.
Now Inglourious Basterds is being released tomorrow and I'm hoping I can see it before the summer ends. I don't think you can really go wrong with Tarantino..

Any movie that involves Nazi killing gets an automatic thumbs up

I finally broke and learned how the movie ends, but I'm doubtful to one of the things.
At the end, does THE GAME.

THE GAME
You lost it.
Well, you can't really learn how it ends until you see the whole movie. I guess that means that you sort of know everything.

I was joking, I still don't know the storyline.
I just wanted to lure you in and make you lose THE GAME.

This movie easily made one of my top ones this summer, followed closely by Inglorious Basterds. (that is spelled the right way, they changed it for the movie for some reason)
