District 9!


Well, this week has been a good one.

+16 Started, and it's turning out to be a blast. I've got fairly good teachers in all my lessons, EXCEPTION being my Physics teacher, who is freaking AWESOME. Seriously, he's like me grown up. How cool is that?

Anyway!

I went to see District 9 today. I had been wanting to see it for a while now, so it was the culmination of a lot of anticipation. I think I was the most exicted to be there at the time :P

On the film itself, it is truly, specatcularly, awesome.

I might be raving about it, but it really was great, and very much appeased my sense in films. There were emotional bits, mega-gory bits, bits that were hilariously ironic, all of it.

Oh yeah...

And a HUGE. FUCKING. MECHA.

Seriously, to quote one of my respected movie critics, "it did aliens better the Star Trek, gunfights better then G.I. Joe, robots better then Transformers and special effects better then Terminator: Salvation" - MovieBob.

This film was great. The aliens were taken with a bit of Cthulu-esque imagining; i admired the intuitive, if arbitrary way that the humans couldn't use the aliens guns.

And the alien guns were pretty fucking awesome too.

And they left a fairly blatant open-ended story ready for a sequel? District 10? Hells yes!

  4. Yeah t'was good, and now i think about it, they can quite easily make a sequel, although how would they make another one in the same documentary-style? They simply can't!
