    Anyone who outright hates it is a fool. One of the best of 2009 so far. Fantastic.

    I went and saw the first 30 minutes of it - motion sickness from the shaky-camera kicked in about that time. Even so, it was a pretty good 30 minutes. Can’t wait for the DVD.

    Excellent. One of the only movies of which I honestly can not see why anyone wouldn’t like it.

    I cannot wait to see that, if only to see what I think of it. I’ve heard every opinion on it from outright hating it to absolutely loving it.

  • Chloe

    Maybe I should have seen this instead of The Time Traveler’s Wife the other night… Oh well. Next time.

    What does everyone have against shaky camera footage? For movies like this (Blair Witch/Cloverfield) it adds to the effect.

    For some reason, I absolutely love it when South Africans say “You take your boy, huh? You take him home!” It’s just the coolest accent.

    Copely is a revelation. Can you believe some people call his acting too exaggerated?

    Hmm. Must re-think my position on this film. Hubby wanted to see it over the weekend but I couldn’t be bothered. Sounds like I SHOULD bother.

    Got to wait till 4th of September here in the UK, damnit, i cant wait, just watched the original short ‘Alive in Joburg’ which is fantastic in it’s own right, now i’m practically drooling at the prospect of seeing District 9. It looks like a return to thought provoking Sci-fi at it’s best.

    By the way Edgar, if you’ve not seen it I recommend ‘A Man Who Was Superman’ by Jeong Yoon-chul.
    an amazingly moving film starring Jun Ji Hyun from Blood the last vampire, It’s one of the best movie’s i’ve seen in a long time.

    Now I kind of want to see the Halo movie Blomkamp and Jackson originally wanted to make.

    I want to see this so bad but of course I have to deal with the late Mexico release dates.

    He’s right (Wright?) The same could have been said about Cloverfield.

    I think they should’ve left out the part where he turns into Tony Stark and the movie turns into a testosterone kill-fest that rivals Die Hard.

    Needed more conspiracy. Needed more of a Moral Grey Area.

    The first majority of the movie was good though. Lol’d at the Halo props.

    I saw it last weekend and thought it was great as well. Carried a strong emotional element that surprised me. Probably shouldn’t admit, but: found myself having a brief cry in the bathroom afterward.

    Did no one else notice that there is an ‘Amusement Tax’ listed on that receipt? haha

    As no one else has mentioned it I’m starting to wonder if that’s a normal thing to see on a receipt in the rest of the world. (I’m from New Zealand, we do things a bit differently over here)
