I just saw this movie for the first time several months ago and found this review and hands-down, this is my fourth favorite movie of all-time and I’m glad Screen Rant gave it the praise it deserved. Can’t wait for Elysium.

The movie was unwatchable past 30 minutes because the jerky camera was making me motion sick, and this is from someone that plays FPS games. The main character was annoying and I felt like I had nothing to look forward to.

Thumbs DOWN.

The film is a statement to all humans
that no matter how “superior” we think we are to others, we
are not – as we are all simply human. This film gets the message
accross with an “in your face” approach, and that is how it was
intended to be.

Please take some time reading my article on District nine.
Let me know whether or not you like the film, and what you
think of the plot as a whole. I would love to know.

@Ike – Um, I don’t remember anyone laughing at the special effects. What are you talking about dude? And it was filmed and set in South Africa, the studio backing it (Peter Jackson) is from New Zealand, so I don’t see how you claim it as your own. Just because Whiteout was set in Antarctica does taht mean it was done by Antarcticains?

Get over the special effects,this is a South African film. We don’t have access to good equipment like you Americans do. compared to other South African films this is a huge leap forward and i am really impressed. Seriously stop laughing at my the work of my home and i if i wanted i could really show some of your work which is terrible.
One last thing. I take it you all saw the backround and the township/homestead/district it was set in. That place is real and there are people who live there and place like that. It was real, people live in that poverty.

Yah, I hope my comments are not suggesting I’m saying the movie sucks because the visual effects sucked, the movie was good, the effects really did suck though, lol, but it didn’t take away from the movie since we already knew it was all CG, the movie was good enough so you can focus on the plot despite that…

I disagree with Mark on the visual effects part. Great movie, great plot and characters…. but the visual effects don’t really come close to some other stuff we have seen. But i loved the movie.

I Saw D9 when it first came out and it blew my mind this movie was so amazing it made my head blow up too!(the one guy towards the end who got shot in da head wit da robot and his head esploded)anyway when i saw this movie i thought about all of the other movies i’ve seen and the only one that is as good was The Dark Knight. considering that TDK came out in 2008 it’s safe to say that D9 is the best film by far this year!!!

To all of the people who already saw D9 “i’ll be back in 3 years, I promise” D10 release date 2012

@Mark

you’re lost if you think the visual effects rivaled those other movies you mentioned. i don’t care what kind of budget it had. watch again.

Ken J — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:16:49 +0000

I know it was done on a budget, I’m not knocking it, just saying that it was obvious it was on a budget. I think the story is more important than the CG anyway. And you can’t say the CG is better than TF2, lol, not by a long shot, but TF2 is a much crappier movie, and I haven’t seen GI Joe yet but I heard the CG in that is pretty horrible…

I stand behind my comments on the visual effects – they were great. The budget was $30 million, but it was all used to full effect.

Compared to all the CGI excess and awfulness of some recent movies (G.I. Joe, TF2), District 9 is way ahead of the rest.

@Mark, I agree with most of the others, but visual effects? Really? I could tell it was a low budget film the whole way through, but enjoyed it for the story and the different approach to the film, but the visual effects were not very good… lol.

Saw this today. I was totally blown away by this movie. Everything about it works: story, acting, music, characters, visual effects (wow), action, and the ending is just great.

Easily the best film I’ve seen this year. I can’t wait to own this on home video. See it now!

This is one of the best films I’ve seen in the theater this year. I was really pleased with the storyline, the acting and the special effects. The docu-drama style was a nice angle to play.
