Loved the idea behind the film, and the cover for the Blu-Ray was like a who's who of 5 star, ten out of ten eulogies; 'Jaw Dropping', 'Awesome' and 'A truly terrific thriller unlike any you've seen before'.All I can say is, I obviously don't know an awesome film when I see one as it was undoubtedly the biggest pile of shite I've seen this year with a laughable script, cliched characters and a plot which made no sense whatsoever.
As high up as Avatar soared on the scale, District 9 was subterranean.
Today is a gift - that's why it's called the Present.
Best Regards,
Chris Redmond.

reelsmith's axiom : Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
It's not a great movie by any means, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. There were some genuine laugh-out-loud moments which made it worthwhile (I nearly fell off my seat during the scene where the hero gets shown shagging one of the aliens).
It takes risks in its style and actually has characters with personality, even if the plot is silly and doesn't make sense. Anything which avoids being a Hollywood cliche is a good thing in my book. Will I buy it on Blu-Ray? Nope...
For me, the characters were two dimensional and strictly comic-book.
If the movie was meant to be tongue in cheek then fair enough, the film gets a firm 'D' rather than a 'D-.
All the feedback and soundbites I'd read seemed to indicate this was an 'awesome' sci-fi movie though, not a comedy.

Smarter than me. I actually paid to see it in a theater. A complete dog.
