  Saw it last night. It's as if Neill Blomkamp cleaned up the set from Distict 9 a bit and made another movie on the same set... and the end result was not much better.

  ....is giving me pause. But, my daughter wants to see it, so I'll go along.
  
  I saw District 9 with my son. We'll see anything through, but came close to walking out on District 9.

  • I felt the same way with D9, I recommended my sisters and I go see it and regretted it while still watching it - PhilJ 19:28:59 08/11/13 (0)

    I liked some aspects but overall bleak, very bleak

    The ridiculous over-the-top violence or the stupid plot?

  ...but not as good as District 9.
  
  It reminded me a little of Oblivion and then Elysium reminded me of Wall-E - it lacked the creativity and originality of District 9.
  
  Guess that's what happens when you get big name stars and a big Hollywood budget.
  
  But if the Occupy movement is correct, it's a future we have to look forward to.
  
  I'd give it B-.

  TOO much pointless, non-stop violence. Cardboard characters and 2001 grade FX. Yawn.

    But the script was full of cliches.
    
    And the over the top violence was a bit much.
