District 9 } Peter Jackson's New Flick

[txteach]

I'm ready to see it as soon as it comes out.

yeah i've been watching the previews a lot lately, it looks great. I think they aren't promoting it as much because there isn't any big names in the film

from the previews i acknowledged that there are def. some going to be some big stunts and the cgi looks terrific. they might need more mola for that other than big name actors.

Posted the trailer back in July. Just saw my first commercial for it. Does not seem to be hyped much!

Unfortunately, I somehow feel that's exactly what would happen if aliens landed here.

Weird - there have been teaser posters for this movie all over Toronto since May. Maybe they're focusing the marketing on select markets.

I just bought my ticket for tonight!

I just don't see them promoting it very much.

Must be where you live because I've been seeing teasers and commercials and everything for what seems months now?
Newspaper review today gave it an A.
Said it's one of the few movies that lives up to the hype.
Sounds like it might be worth seeing at the movies.

They have started promoting it recently but I saw my first trailer for it only about 2 months ago. NOTHING before that.

Given the fact that it looks like a South African/New Zealand foreign indie film, I'm not surprised that it doesn't have the full on Hollywood Hype machine behind it, but it did have a substantial presence at SDCC and a great deal of positive buzz behind it. I'm sure it's Peter Jackson's name attached that has helped this film get the attention is deserves.

I enjoyed it a great deal. I know the "fake documentary" look has become virtually synonymous with indie filmmaking, but it really works in this one. Definitely the kind of film you wouldn't necessarily get inside the major studio Hollywood system.

Peter Jackson , now theres a director. doesnt do much but what he selects to make is spot on. Would love him to do Clash of the titans which I believe is being screen written at the moment.

If only he would take on the Superman mantle......I might email him!!

I just watched the trailer for district 9......have got to see that.

My Nephew saw it yesterday, and called me to tell me that I MUST see it in the Theater! He said don't wait for the DVD...it's that GOOD!

[garagesale]

It's a very satisfying movie. It almost reminded me of watching those 70s dystopian scifi flicks like Soylent Green or THX 1138. A bit disturbing but also uplifting. Great action and effects, too!

It was Good.
The Documentary Type theme Worked for the Movie at the Beggining,.. But I thought it carried on a Bit longer than Needed for the Set up,.. & then of course worked well for the Ending.

I hope with them setting up a Part 2,.. if that takes Place,.. it doesn't have the Documentary theme,.. I don't think it would be needed.

I really didn't know what to expect seeing this...,
I really enjoyed the Film,.. & The News Reports Taging the Main Actor as an Alien Sexual Predator,.. was just too Funny.

I will have to catch this on the big screen......

It was very good. It's certainly never boring.
