The visuals are so overwhelmingly awesome its easy to overlook the many problems the actual movie has.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I liked District 9. It was probably one of the better movies I've seen this year. I just wish they'd handled the mutation differently.Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-37979420346730391052009-12-29T15:00:38.706-07:002009-12-29T15:00:38.706-07:00I have a higher opinion of District 9 than you app...I have a higher opinion of District 9 than you apparrently do. Whenever I watch a sci-fi movie, I wait for the stupid moment. That point at which I stop believing what I'm watching. In Avatar, it was when they showed the floating mountains. In Independence Day, there were several, but the first was when a guy at a cable TV company figured out the alien countdown.<br /><br />A few movies don't have that stupid moment and those are the ones I truly like, The Matrix, The Terminator and District 9 to name a few.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-32658092299968551882009-12-29T13:28:55.870-07:002009-12-29T13:28:55.870-07:00So I finally saw District 9.

But I did find it quite entertaining. It kept a not to serious tone throughout and the special effects were good enough for me.<br /><br />It did kinda leave the door open to a sequel however...Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-47826281162244070172009-12-24T13:39:58.600-07:002009-12-24T13:39:58.600-07:00There's really no comparison.

District 9 had a tiny budget compared to Avatar, but it is a far superior film in all ways except visual effects.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-39675027109662610912009-12-24T11:45:11.841-07:002009-12-24T11:45:11.841-07:00I'd like to go see it.
