District 9 (2009)

[Daisy-Boo]

One of the aspects of the film of interest to military weapon specialists is that it is packed with a huge variety of guns, especially from Denel, including some that are currently only prototypes, so I would assume a near-future setting.

That's very interesting. Thanks.

Amen to that.




I assume you meant the end of Apartheid?

Officially, Apartheid ended and the new South Africa began, on 27 April 1994, which makes our democracy nearly 16 years old...with all the problems that teenagers usually have.

Yes i meant the end of Apartheid. Thats the good thing to remember,not when it started.

I wish your democracy all the best, and I hope you can join the developed world one day.

Having seen District 9 many, many, MANY times now, I can still say that it is among my most favourite movies ever, to date.

Have you seen it? What did you think?

Apparently there's talk of a sequel. Not sure how much truth there is in that rumour, but making a sequel to District 9 is like making the sequels to The Matrix. In my humble opinion.

JenJen, I've just brought your post over to this older thread (it was rather hidden away, so you probably didn't notice it) -- as you can see, lots of talk about the film already, and you can no doubt start discussion going again.

Thanks! I tried searching for it before posting, but couldn't find it.

I still haven't seen this yet. Must try and pick it up. I've seen it for £5.99.

Really liked this movie, just cause it's a relief from the big-budget scifi crap. My friend hates it, though.

[Niolani]

Another fan here, liked it on many levels and it's always interesting to read the opinions here.

 

[Rodders]

I'm going to finally sit down and watch this tonight.

 

[Rodders]

OK, i watched it and am very much impressed. Th overt racism towards the Prawns was very well done.

Shame, this will be a classic SF Film. I fear that a franchise will ruin it.

Yes, I saw the price of the DVD had come right down and bought it a few weeks ago, but I haven't yet had time to re-watch it.

I hope there are no sequels, unless they are very well thought out. I don't think it made enough of a box office impact to get sequels.

Yes, interesting about the prototype weapons Anthony. It adds to my impression that a lot of thought went into this.

The "robot" is another future weapon. They are the 'soldierboys' in Joe Haldeman's 'Forever Peace' but featured already in a variety of films. Sigourney Weaver does a good impression of one in Aliens.
