New DISTRICT 9 Trailer + rating!
Hey folks, Harry here and right now - this is my big remaining hope of the summer. I know the new HARRY POTTER is going to deliver, I'm pretty confident about INGLORIOUS BASTERDS kicking my ass... but DISTRICT 9... it is the film I hope hands me my ass steaming, bloody and with butter! Looking at this trailer, I actually got caught up in it. The aliens kinda got scary - and playing with alien technology that you don't understand... BAD IDEA. I like that I haven't really got a grasp for the scope of the film or even the structure. I love that it is rated R for BLOODY VIOLENCE & PERVASIVE LANGUAGE. That gives me hope of awesome that I can't wait to get hit with. You take a look and see...
Behold more of DISTRICT 9!

I hope it isn't one of those wishy washy-stories of how the human race is so violent and paranoid and the aliens are so misunderstood, blah blah blah...yea, cry me a river.

That's just creepy Harry...

-
this has been probably the worst summer for movies Ive been alive for, hopefully this kicks alot of ass...The month of August has the possibility of redeeming this joke of a season.
-
Just speaking on the topic of more upcoming summer films. I have to admit I did like Public Enemies but it dragged more than it needed to, it was trying to establish their love story when it was already established long before. I do love how my town is in the movie like 4 times, I live right where they come out during the first robbery, and then later where they come out of another bank and Depp gets shot, that was also right by my house. But back to the topic, District 9 looks insanely promising, the premise is fucking relentless.
-
Wow that looks great!
-
I thought the same thing it felt like the abridged version of Dillingers story.
-
Is it ALWAYS necessary to equate yours/someone else's private parts with food? I'm eating here. Have some fucking compassion.

I played the video game already on Ps2....Only it was called AREA 51.

Brilliant. I almost pissed myself!

JUST SAY THE WORD YOU FAT FUCK. I'LL ALSO PROMISE TO RECITE EVERY LINE FROM APOCALYPSE NOW WHILST DOING SO.

The link works....if you have Quicktime.

The horror....the horror....

Duh.

BAAAAWWW I CAN'T SEE THE TRAILOR DUHHHH

...that is blessedly free of anything having to do with bodily fluids and/or breakfast spreads:
http://tinyurl.com/mhe273 -
The other trailers didn't do much for me at all - couldn't get a sense of the tone or scale. Thought maybe it would be more satire/drama - but this trailer was really exciting I thought.
-
nice! harry's right-this DOES look awesome
-
Or have you already seen it? and no likey? What's the deal? If you have seen it, post a review. If you haven't, don't say there's no hope left for summer than for District 9 (which is sure to be awesome!).
Sincerely, A faithful reader! :) -
i dunno, now it looks more like a transformers movie... i'm tired of giant robots.

YOU KNOW WHAT? You should update this site to include some kind of video journal that more or less follows you round to see exactly what the fuck goes on with you.
I LOVE that I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REST OF THE GANG LOOKS LIKE-but your sorry-ass is NO mystery.
Do something, because the site's been stagnant for a bit man!
what happened to the goodole days of Stallone interview? with the fan-written questions? That WAS AMAZING! -
was supposed to helm the Halo film or am I just bugging? Hope it is, bc this looks super crazy, and if it does well, it might get the Halo ball rolling again.

DISTRICT 9 = proof Superman fits Nolan's Batman universe!!!!
by jdanielp
I insist!!! Escalation + Superman as hero and Batman as villain + life-like visual interpretation = a Dark Knight follow-up that can blow away expectations!!!
-
A combination of V and Alien Nation, but smothered in BADASS!
-
It looks good but I'm NOT looking forward to it till i get to read an actual review. Half of me says it's cool, the other half is saying the story will be a complete letdown
-
thanks talkbackers for showing me where to see it.
-
I loved the scene where they are interrogating the Cthulu alien and he says, "We are only trying to get home." So many times we see that from the human's perspective, nice twist, that.

and the part where the the thing catches the RPG rocket
by zombieheathledger
that was rad.
-
Start forcing them insects to make nekkid pyramids, they'll spill. -
... but after the stinking, rotting landfill of summer blockbusters we've been force-fed recently I'm nervous that this will turn out to be yet another visually striking yet overall terrible movie.
-
is it set up like a documentary? Because parts of it seem documentary-style, and others look like straight action movie stuff. I really hope it's all documentary.
-
Not even close troll
-
Is this all part of the viral campaign?
-
Many of you must be pretty young, because I remember many summers that there wasn't any films like Wolverine (which would have kicked major ass in 1990) or Terminator (imagine if it came out in 1980, it would've cooked our collective noodles). So as far as I'm concerned, District 9, for better or worse, is better than On Golden Pond 2009, IMHO. I'm hoping that D9 will be solid enough for Blomkamp to be nailed down for Halo. Oh, the hours I've spent as MC...AICN, PLEASE get your links happening. All I ask is that they are valid links for world viewers, too. Thanks!
-
The link still doesn't work.
-
Too bad I can't see it. Damn you, Harry, and your faulty links.
-
I believe 100% that Superman belongs in Nolan's next Batman flick,...despite how Superman dips a bit deeper into the realm of fantasy. "DISTRICT 9" proves my point, just by the trailers. (--I tried to make my point in a recent PUBLIC ENEMIES talkback, feeling Mann's influence on THE DARK KNIGHT, as others have already explored.) Obviously, the escalation continues. And considering the universe of DC Comics and what's been established with THE DARK KNIGHT, perhaps Nolan's best answer for Ledger's Joker...is Bale's Batman, now considered a public threat, while casting Superman as the hero. The approach that I would personally take, considering Nolan's continuity and my knowledge of the DC Comics universe, I would establish NEW Mayor Rupert Thorne,...as he requests the help of this so-called Superman of Metropolis, to bring in Gotham City's masked vigilante for a number of federal and state crimes. Basically, I would cast Batman as villain, Superman as hero, and Rupert Thorne as the crooked Mayor who utilizes Superman in Lex Luthor style, with innocent lives at stake. It would be about the revelation of truth and a new friendship formed. And what bigger friendship is there, in all of fiction? And likewise, what bigger opposing forces are there, when Batman and Superman are at odds? Lastly, I would cast Brandon Routh as Clark Kent/Superman, while considering a more familiar Superman costume design and ignoring unnecessary continuity with SUPERMAN RETURNS. I'm completely confident that Nolan can get what he needs from actor Brandon Routh. That is what I would do.
-
Meet me under my bridge and I'll beat the piss out of you.
Yeah the trailers look "CooL" But so did the ones for Independence Day, Cloverfield, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Transformers 2, Terminator Salvation, Doom and fucking Max Payne. So excuse me if I'm not bleeding from my ass like dear old Harry.
Like I said, In my opinion, It Looks LIKE A FUCKING THIRD PERSON SHOOTER!
I'm a Grown Ass Man Dogg,
Its going to take more than a couple of trailers for me to get excited about any of the crap that oozes out of modern day Hollywood's anus, So fuck and you -
... that perhaps it would be best to keep your posts at least somewhat topical? This has nothing to do with District 9, despite your weak attempt to tie a tenuous thread to it. Maybe it would be best if you simply posted a link to your "Superman Fantasy" blog and left it at that.
-
...in a talkback about another movie entirely, and which will never be read by anyone who has any decision making authority on what Nolan's next Batman movie will be about, is the PERFECT way to make it happen, JDaneilP.
Aw, crap. I shouldn't be so snarky. You obviously have a passion for this, and this IS a site for and by geeks, so if you can't voice that kind of stuff here, where can you?
Carry on JDanielP. That would be a fun movie to watch. -
I know this is going to rule.
-
Shut the fuck up. I'm excited for this - looks to be probably the best summer film apart from Up.
-
Jul 08, 2009 6:00:05 PM CDT
OK, I shouldn't but I'll bit 'coz JDanielP has it wrong...
by zombieheathledger
Yes, Supes should be brought in for Nolan's 3rd Batman but it should take place many, years later and basically be Miller's DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, that way you can bring back The Joker with an older actor (Javier Bardem gets my vote if he can lose the accent). And Supes should NOT be played by Homo Routh again he should be played by an older actor as well, Jon Hamm from MAD MEN would be perfect. Ideally you would replace Bale with another older actor but since that's prob not an option bring in Dick Smith to age him. Hey at least, as an older man character, Bale would have more of an excuse to overuse the gravelly intense whispering he does in every single role recently (haven't seen PUBLIC ENEMIES yet so can't comment on that). Triumph Trifecta. Seal the deal as the best Superhero trilogy of all time.
-
Who would get excited over Barnyard porn.
.... So You shut the fuck up........
Fucking Dickrider,
Thats the problem with this site, You cant have an opinion without some little bitch chiming in. -
I was in Hollywood this past weekend, and they had signs all over park benches. "For Humans Only! Non-Humans cannot sit here" or something like that. Was pretty cool, just like the stuff they had @ comic con last year. I'm excited - sleeper hit of the summer.
-
Inglorious Basterds looks like shite! I love me some Tarantino..hell, I even like Death Proof..but Brad Pitt is gonna equal Jar Jar/Mudflap + skids = still annoying.
-
Teaser looked cool but I wasn't quite feeling it. This new trailer shows me more exciting shit like crazy mecha robots and some action. I believe the whole thing will still be a sort of documentary style. Looks awesome! If they can do Halo like this then I'm down! Though Halo probably needs a more cliche hollywoodish feel if matching the games is what you want. But even a change like this is a-okay with me!
-
because it begs the question: "how did this aliens evolve in the first place?" The best answer for a movie is that reproductive rights are highly structured, and although an alien can self-fertilize, it is only done in extreme, and is probably a big taboo. Instead, there would be rigid rules about which clans can breed with which, in the the normal alien environment. On Earth, however the alien's moral code is broken, and they are doing all sorts of bad things, to their eyes as well as ours.
-
This film looks so epic. It has aliens, robots, mech suits, it's shot like a documentary and it will probably have the coolest story. If you read D9.com and NMU site you know that the aliens are basically slave labor. Not sure what the humans are using them for or wont' let them go until they get their technology but it seems that finally the aliens just get pissed and attack. It probably won't be a huge blockbuster but it shouldn't be anyway. It's going be a cult film for us, the geeks. I hope it's just an epically great film.
-
The visuals were great, but I didn't like the scenes that were not part of the faux doc style.
-
... something more mature, more adult oriented, and what I got looks like an action film. Oh well. I'll reserve judjement until I see the final product... as should we all.
-
I'm watching AOTS right now. They said they were gonna show the trailer in today's show.
-
I love the concept, the look and feel, I'm completely into this movie. Finally, something not based on a cartoon or old TV series!
-
THAT'S FUNNY, WE'VE BEEN TRYING, IN VAIN, TO GET YOU TO COMMENT ON THE EXPENDABLES RATING FOR FUCKING MONTHS NOW!!??

Please be good.

Anyway, District 9 looks awesome. Hopefully it delivers
-
In the coming years, these original works are going to get more rare sadly.
-
...The Hurt Locker. Quite a pleasant surprise.
-
This is really nitpicky, but I remember in that scene where the alien in the power-suit throws the jeep, they kept cutting to different camera angles. It instantly destroyed the illusion of being a real event, caught on the fly by a lone cameraman. Like I said, nitpicky; but it really jumped out at me.
-
Yep, that link didn't work for me. Thanks for the alt link Spamgelus.
-
Public Enemies.
-
"Alright Alien, who shot Kennedy?"
"Who?"
"Don't lie to us! We know you're super intelligent beings! Who shot Kennedy??" -
Agreed. The only thing wrong with that movie was they killed off Nelson too early. Nelson actually outlived Dillinger. Could have been a nice setup for a sequel.
-
directing Halo movie at one point,we do not not a Halo movie,games themselves are fine,but i guess its too much of a goldmine to miss out on eh

But it's easy to make a good trailer, let's see how the film is.
-
saw the short - pixelated - version of the trailer at the cinema recently and really... EVERYTHING about this movie so far looks fucking fantastic - from the short film to this...
really really looking forward to this one! -
Regardless, it will be Awesome!

I was under the impression it was about race relations in South Africa.
-
Lasharue speaks for him/herself. I and others get that DISTRICT 9 is a non-too-subtle allegory about apartheid. Fuck, I feel like Obama apologizing for my country here...
-
I'm American. Americans don't have to apologize for anything. Those who complain just remember. We gave you Michael Bay.

Lashlarue. The alien in the trailer says they WANT TO GO HOME. Illegals in the US want to STAY. Big difference.

is going to shit into our open and unexpecting eyes and will be both the beginning and the end of this guy's directing career. Just kidding - it looks promising.
-
I read the synopsys of the movie, and I have to say it will not get caught up on human morality... In fact, the whole thing might make the movie very neutral on the issua, and the audience will have to decids on who should get what they want. Here's what I read: Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them.
Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide:
District 9. -
People are so misinformed. Most Mexicans don't want to stay up here. They just want to make enough to where they can go back home, and live a wealthy life. Most Mexicans stay here 5 years. Can't live wealthy up here making what they make. Any hoo, this movie looks awesome.

I will go see this I just hope it is for real and we don't see people standing around just talking about aliens for 2 hours.

somebody please confirm it!

This looks absolutely fucking great, and in an ideal world will be bigger than Bayformers 2.
-
This looks AMAZING.
-
Neil Blompkamp is a genius social activist! The part where the insectoid alien life form smacks the human into a tank is a subtle commentary on the generations of built-up rage from military and economic subjugation, on the part of chicanos and blacks. This is the most touching revelation of their struggle since "Mac and Me".
-
AHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!
-
What are you talking about? How has Whitey kept Chicanos down? They're illegal for Christ sake. Nobody forced them to come here. And if you're illegal, don't expect $25 an hour.

Um, WTF. Really.

This has all the earmarks of a revolution in scifi story and sfx and a smaller budget that Cameron can't make happen w/o an exponential expense.
-
all the fucking money came from america to make it.
-
I have since the first teaser trailer I saw. Could be wrong. Hope I am. But nothing in this trailer has disabused me of the notion that this is gonna be some shit-for-brains lib polemic allegory about racism (gee, the ship's hovering over South Africa? Didn't see THAT coming.), internment camps a la Guantanamo Bay, and basically how suck-wind we humans are. Yeah, I sooooo need to see that. Pass.
-
That's beyond bad! And it will never happen, thank the gods!
-
Do I really have to suffer through another hand held camera headache. Someone needs to have a word with just about everyone working in Hollywood right now. 100 years of cinema history and even the first guys realised that shaking a camera about was a mistake. Why is everyone doing it now. It's awful. Stop it.

DISTRICT 9 supports reasoning of Superman in Nolan's universe.
by jdanielp
Who's with me?
-
I can just see it now-- an explosion of discussion about how immigrants are treated here in the USA. The USA allows a certain number of legal immigrants to enter yearly depending on various factors. Other than those are those who either arrive completely illegally or stay beyond the time they are permitted to remain-- illegals, hence. ACLU refers to "immigrant rights". And there is certainly an entitlement sentiment felt by so many of them who are here. Come on now, you know it's true. Just because they seek employment and are hired by citizens does not make it right.
Fact is, they treat the border of this country as the finish line of a race-- once crossed, it's over and life can now begin here. Wrong. From my perspective, the solution is this: throw a ton of them out, keep a significant portion but require them to become tax paying citizens OR they leave. Require national ID, require employers to list all employees regardless of status or # hours/week, come down hard on companies that do not do this, etc.. Bottom line: let a lot of them stay, but require them to become part of America-- citizens who are fully assimilated-- not live below radar. -
I'm not sure I follow your logic.

because the mech suits seen in the new trailer were a surprise to most of the fans of this movie. I think the short gives a very good idea of what the film could be.

I don't need movies to remind me how horrible humanity can be...
by helltron
That's what AICN Talkback is for. But District 9 looks promising and may offer up some intelligent science fiction, action and intrigue. What if Alien Nation occurred in Apartheid South Africa? Cool enough premise to sell me.
-
but that trailer is quite nice! Still not sold by the acting, but it doesn't look like it's going to keep up the mockumentary thing for it's whole length, which will make it less of an issue. And at least it isn't based on a comic book/tv show/board game/retro toy or a sequel, prequel or rebootening
-
Superman ... Batman???????? What the fuck????
-
What the fuck is up with all you douchebags saying shit like: "This movie will be my drippy cock shoved in the poundcake pudding ass of Reese Witherspoon" or "This movie just made me shoot come in my mouth which I then spat on Harry's asshole and used as lube" Christ in a cracker you people make me fucking sick just trying to shoot the shit about a stupid movie!! Elevate yourselves a fucking INCH will ya?!? Talk about the fucking dregs of society,I'll swear a blue suit but leave the come and the jacking off and ass-fucking for your step-dad's will you??
-
You come here to bash people talking about a movie? First off, it's called hyperbole...second, this site is about people blabbering about movies. Do you not get the point? Why bother harping? You can always visit another site...that's called power, my friend.
-
Way to miss the point. I did not "bash" people here to "talk about a movie", I am in fact, ENCOURAGING people to actually talk about the movie, but in a reasonably decent manner. I have no problem whatsoever using profane language to "blabber" about movies, I resent the recent spate of shit like this: ""...my ass steaming, bloody and with butter!" and "I wanna dip my BALLS in it!", not to mention the other plethora of homo-ass-raping-masturbation imagery that gets posted here in service to "blabbering about movies". Is it too much to expect certain level of intellectual decency along with opinion? I have no intention of visiting "another site", why SHOULD I? So mental troglodites like yourself and others can act like 12 year old Halo players and hide behind your keyboards and say sick and disgusting shit under the premise that you're merely expressing your opinion? Fuck YOU asshole, yet-another shit-tree lawyer slicing a narrowly-defined aspect of my posting and "taking me to task" over it while obviously completely missing the point. Take that "love it or leave it" shit and cram it asshole, it's not "hyperbole", it's simply revolting and unnecessary and defending it makes you look more stupid than those that trade in it.
-
Have to say....that was one of the best trailers I've seen in a while.

-
I laughed. Good trolling.
-
I agree with you, malificus. It would be nice to read higher than 12-year-old spoutings SO often, but I've just gotten used to it. The best way to combat this is to post well-written opinions that make said drivel seem stupid.
Which really isn't hard to do.
Thus others reading AICN will hopefully respond to your well-written opinions with equally well-written opinions.
I've gotta say, though, I don't mind Harry's enthusiasm for this movie. After the nasty PG-13 tripe we've been force-fed all summer, this movie looks like a big fat banana sundae dessert.
R-rated? Check.
Strong language and bloody, pervasive violence? Check.
Original story? (Thank fucking God!) Check.
Spaceships, fucked up aliens, and alien technology? Check.
No idea what's going to happen in the film? Check.
I am SO there. Can't fucking wait. -
...to those who can't get the link to work, here's the solution: download Quicktime from Apple.com and install it on your computer. It's not that fucking hard.
-
Why would it be an allegory for illigal immigrants in the US? The director is South African, its set in South Africa, surely that suggests its an allegory for apartheid?Can't watch this second trailer, but the first excited me.
-
I feel your pain, dude. But look on the bright side. This place is like a big pile of magic rat food, the rats can't NOT show up and gorge themselves. This is good because it helps to identify the rats, and also keeps them more out in the open, instead of getting in your pantry and eating your triscuits. Just remember that this place has been like this for a lonnng time, and the owners obviously like it this way, for the shock value or whatever. Your best bet is to just rise above it.
-
corpse of ZITBAG, after everyone here finally has enough and tracks this asshole down to his asshole cave deep in asshole mountain and beats him to death his own keyboard, with CAP LOCK ON. I hate that prick most of all so mission accomplished Dark Knight Asshole,turn on your asshole signal and let it shine...asshole. I'd rather hype myself up on Monster Energy drinks and shit on every stupid post you can muster than let you have the last word so YOU shut the fuck up, I'm sure there's a petition for that somewhere I could sign.
-
Aliens land, we don't want them in our world and yet we don't want them to leave. Interesting. This is like an opposite of Alien Nation. That was classic.
-
Good point, Grammaton. It is kind of the opposite of classic "Alien Nation." From the trailer, it seems like we don't want the aliens to leave.
The big question is why. Their technology? Fear? Maybe something not even touched upon in the trailer?
The premise certainly IS a new one and I'm excited to see where Blomkamp goes with it. -
Well, in the trailer, the are questioning one of the aliens about their technology. Humans are still using regular things like helicopters and cars, while this giant device is hovering in the air, so the most likely thing is, we still don't know how their things work, and probably would somehow try to keep them there until we get that information. Just a guess. If we won't let them go, then they have something we want, but don't yet have.
-
...should apply to lockesbrokenleg. Geezus Christo, what a useless Talkbacker.
-
I'm a bit intrigued by the premise which is kind of a surprise considering the familiarity of some of the film's apparent elements. I don't know anything about Blomkamp's abilities as a story teller...but if he's got Jackson backing him up, then I hope we get something unique and cool.
-
coz you gotta download some Quicktime bullshit from Apple? They STILL peddlin that Quicktime?
That's Apple fuckin with you
FuCK Apple!
Apple only hurts - it never helps. You fight through that shit!
Coz a year from now, when you kickin it in the Caribbean, you gonna say to yourself "Maniaq was right" -
Yeah, that's why the link doesn't work, Maniaq. Pretty simple, really.
Feel free to rail against Apple if you want. It won't help you watch the trailer. -
a sledgehammer. Yeah, okay, it's Johannesburg. They're beating us over the head with the whole apartheid reference.
-
gay. check likes it in the butt. check stretched out pee-hole. check likes guys fucking him in stretched out pee-hole. check
-
I so cannot wait to see this flick.
-
I WANT YOU TO DANCE FOR ME NOW FUCKER. DO IT. DO IT NOW.
-
And you know what? It's been an eternity since we saw a movie like this. Props, make-up, and animatronics. Aliens and hostility. Not based on a pre-existing franchise. I love it already. Here's hoping I'll continue loving it when I see it.
-
This looks potentially very cool from the trailer. TERMINATOR SALVATION meets ALIEN NATION. But who's in it? Any actors / stars who can carry a movie?
Unknown South African actors are gonna be a tough international sell. -
But it was largely City of God, South Africa-style. I'm guessing this makes a decent chunk of change for a lightly-promoted R-rated picture here and probably more cash in foreign markets (especially Commonwealth states).
-
I love the sense for the trailer that the aliens are scary and humans hate them, but we won't let them leave... It seems like a cool gritty sci-fi/action movie that is actually ABOUT SOMETHING. I hope it kicks ass.
-
Hilarious that you could watch the trailer and think his movie has something to do with a metaphor for US immigration. As an American that reads about the news and history from OTHER countries as well, I suggest to wiki apartheid... and then consider that the whole world isn't as hyper obsessed with US illegal immigration as you are.
-
after watching this movie, I am going to hate the human race?
-
Looks sorta cool but how the hell can we coup up a race with technology that is far superior to ours? Seems a little inplausible but maybe I'm missing something.
-
Otherwise, it looks a lot like Terminator Salvation, effects - wise, but it'll get a pass as "revolutionary" because it doesn't have the Terminator label on it.
-
the aliens win
-
...this has the possibility of being interesting and surprising (whereas Avatar hasn't even registered one bit on my interest meter).
-
that's the filling i get. But i hope he proves me wrong. I do have hope for both this and the other.
-
Count me in muthafuckas! Still gotta go see TF2, lagging a bit on that one and Public Enema, I mean Enemies.

Not everything is about illegals in the US. There's a lot of other shit going on or has gone on in the world. Wasn't Harrison Ford doing some movie about illegals? It looked like shit from the preview.
-
the humans win, steal the tech, and further subjugate the aliens, and there is no "can't we all get along", "we are the world" ending.
-
Thinkin maybe Badtaste with a budget.
Wonder if the aliens start drinkin people. -
Looks like 1D4AlienNationSigns
-
I think not-- only if the Aliens spend their money not on roads, schools and medicine, but on weapons to kill the humans. Only if the Aliens train their children in camps to fire AK-47s. Only if the humans offered the Aliens 94% of all the territory they seeked and permanent peace and recognition in exchange for cessation of daily missile launchings on non-Alien soil.

This review sums up what i think.

for one thing these Aliens communities look a lot cleaner than East Los Angeles or Whittier; for another it looks like the Cops in this movie have more guns than the Aliens...and if you live out here you know that shit ain't true.

Yea, I really fancy this one. Looks very cool. It reminds me of Alien Nation which I really enjoyed. It's good to see Jackson supporting other film makers and getting more cool stuff into cinemas. I just hope that it's getting a wide release in the UK...

And gave turds thumbs up. I wouldnt be eating Cheez Itz right now.
-
Dude has come a long way since 'Bad Taste', which still rocks!
-
Not sure about that, feels more like Apartied to me. But maybe thats just cos of the South African connection.
-
The director grew up there, the place is just close to home for him. If I were doing this mivie, I'd put he aliens in Jersey. That's just the way it works.
As for the racism thing, maybe people would stop making anti-racism movies if you stupid fuckers would stop being racist. -
They show a little action and some mech suits (that were in the short film this movie's based on), and all of a sudden the movie's "stupid"? What the hell? They haven't shown the mechs doing some stupid shit like humping some hot chick's leg or spewing ebonics everywhere. All your assumptions are based on are the fact that there are some robots. A reaction I predicted the moment I saw the trailer.
You fucker's minds are so maluable it's insane. You are all so predictable. -
Meant south africa. ADD AN EDIT BUTTON.
