  • I personally find nothing wrong with avatar, Its a very beautiful looking film, however it lacks originality the 3D was excellent (in my opinion) Full Price

    This movie his nothing but a power house of creativity and story with equality amazing visuals.

    BETTER THAN SEX!!!!

  • I don't think this movie is that good. Low Matinee

  • Sharlto Copley's prawn sidekick should have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar! =)))

  • Carlyle come back

  • Avatar was medicore at best. I really didn't get anything out of it to be honest, it looks nice sure. Distirct 9 was VERY deep and and very dark at points. It was political, had a message about anti-racism and really changed my outlook on a lot of things. LOVE District 9!

  • It's my favorite film

  • I absolutely loved this movie. There hasn't been a sci-fi movie this awesome since Star Wars. Five stars! :)

  • I agree with the talking body-less headed robot floater!

  • District 9 is the best sci-fi action movie since The Matrix. Great story, allegorical, great action, great acting... Just a damn good movie.

  • screw Carlyle, he left to write some gay ass horror movie

  • Story is good, acting a dialogue is mediocre.

  • Moon

  • i saw the movie and i couldent help but hating the main caracter and loving the green alien and his kid they where so awesome and if i may say this movie is better then sex!!!!! :D

  • @MASTER50577 I agree! BTW, the 'green alien's' name was Christopher Johnson and his son was Oliver. just thought you'd like to know. One fan to another. :)

  • @LightsCameraAaron thanks i just loved the Johnson and Oliver :D

  • the movie was kinda racist but still 1of best films i ever seen

  • @sonicjrjr14 How was it racist? If anything, I thought it had a very anti-racist message. Could you elaborate a bit more please?

  • at the end its the thundergun LOL!

  • wow i cant believe u guys gave this such a high score i thought this movie was horrible...*shrug*

  • @genestarwind7 it deserves a high score

  • Out of the failure of trying to make a Halo movie came this. Just felt like letting you guys know.

  • avatar is overrated shit

  • BETTER THAN SEX

  • The other day, Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansen asked to have a 3-way with me. I told them I was too busy watching Disrict 9.

  • @CharmieKid dumbass

  • i love you carlyle

  • @misnixz why did he have to leave!??!!!!!?!!

    nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • whoop whoop you go peter jackson!!!!! 100% kiwi 

  • Its good. Just watch it. Give it a fair chance. I just bought it on blue ray :)

  • fuck anybody that says that this movie is overrated go fuck your self if you think so

  • I like it better than avatar and transformers

  • this was a peice of shit movie aliens looked like roaches who eat catfood and interspecies prostitution this whole movie is just fucking stupid

  • @FRArognetwork

    well,why don't you tell us what real life aliens look and what they really eat?

    but I kind of have to agree in the interspecies thing,but at least they never actually showed it.but hey,there's humans who like to f*ck animals,why can't exist aliens who like to f*ck humans? :P

  • @VengadorDorado91 well see heres the thing .......we cant even handle natural disasters or bombings or attacks from other countries with any type of order but when it came to aliens in this movie oh we had a plan? lol im just sayin there wasnt anything interesting about this movie till like the last 40 min of it ....i went opening night to see this and was heavily dissapointed .....this movie was shit and nobody has been able to tell me why it was so "good" but not anybody i know liked it lol

  • @FRArognetwork

    he,my friend are unable to tell me if this movie is good or bad,they always say "it's weird"

  • @FRArognetwork  I loved it because I went in thinking it was going to be normal guns and explosions science fiction film. It's a film with deep messages and a lot of heart. The underlining political and social messages weren't hammered it, but they were there and made you think. If you want me to elaborate, I can send you a private un edited message on other things I found intriguing about the film. :)

  • @LightsCameraAaron it was different ill give u that but all in all its a badly done movie peter jackson better just stick to the hobbit lol

  • i was like them. i like some crazy sci-fi movies and i saw the ads for this and thought alright another stupid but cool looking alien movie. man i couldnt have been farther from the truth. this is the DEFINITION of a better than sex movie

  • I think the pacing of this movie is really good, and although I enjoyed it, it's not one I'd seek out to watch again and again.

  • i have seen movies with a huge budget and all the time i spend watching the movie im asking myself where the fuck the money go?

  • People say this movie sucks, mainly because either they don't understand what a REAL science fiction movie is supposed to be like, or Transformers 2 rotted their brains to the point of manipulation

  • I miss Carlyle

  • I LOVED the advertising. That was one of the things I noticed. "HUMANS ONLY."

  • alien ghetoo!!

  • This movie has left me with a headache. I got caught up in it, and when it was over i was just upsetting..

    FUCKING AWESOME MOVIE YOO!!

  • I mean watched lol loved it!

  • I only liked this film for the creatures

  • The closing scene before the credits was creepy, ingenious, emotional, etc!

    At the end of it all I actually felt bad for the main character.  He finally seen the light, but in the end he would never get praised or acknowledged for his actions, but became a setting piece of the environment.

  • BEEEP BEPP BEEP BEEEP BEEEEEEP BEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEP

  • People say this film is boring...fuck that, its filmed good....that documentary kinda film

  • 6 stars- "Must Own"

  • Guys it would be doing me a huge favour if you were to register on this forum and post on a couple of threads and i mean a huge favour forums . opinionate . net

    please please please i will honestly give u a cookie if ur in the first 5

  • i thought it was sum old bullshit 

  • What I loved about this movie is that it's like what would happen if it happened legitamatly and someone made a documentry about how the shit left. And the whole humans are the bad guys was really refreshing to me, because in reality, come on, were ass holes to eachother because of such small differances, how do you think we would treat ALIENS?!?!

  • @blueeyesaf how about more likely they would simply firebomb that cesspool camp. Movie over, save everyone the frustration of watching this pile of crap movie.

  • @branfrog Fuck off this movie's awesome.

  • i miss the dude with the hat and the glasses. i mean the robot ball thingy is chillin too but i think the reviews would be better if they swapped out leon for glasses guy. like the inception review. leon who i used to think was alright just came across as stupid and lazy to me and i couldnt help thinking "why cant i hear the opinion of a person who actually watched the movie instead of checkin his watch?"

  • @PHILLYBOYKRM his name is carlyle and the robot is co-host

  • I really don't know why people like Avatar, I have watched this and to me it's garbage, sure it looks good, but that is because they have a 200 million dollar budget. This one have only 30 million dollar budget, and the CGI looks great. So please don't compare this movie to Avatar, I personally think this one is better.

  • @Death2RockwayMiddle so you dont want them to compare the 2 because YOU THINK its better.......

  • @jordofthejungle2 Yea, I THINK it's better

  • No no waaaaaaaayyyy better than avatar

  • waaaaay better than avatar!

  • 1:59 THUNDER GUN!

  • funny as

  • PS Bladerunner, The Terminator, Dark City, The Matrix, have serious competition on there hands in terms of STORY. Imagine if they would've made Halo rather than District, WTF woulda been the outcome there?

  • I saw this at midnight opening night and the theater was literally shoulder to shoulder, even the ticket clerks and snack bar employees were in the theater! Very rare moment in film history when sci-fi is given a true star of a story and my god did it ever shine! 

  • They were originally making halo but that went tits up,but they already had guns made etc. so they made district 9 and used guns from Halo:D

  • District 9 > Avatar

  • See reviews right when they come out! Sign up and make your OWN spill movie page at ------> spill.com

  • District 9 proved that storyline is more important than special effects

  • @shova213 Yes, yes it did.

  • @shova213 Even though its special effects still shit all over Transformers 2 which came out the same summer and had about 50 times the budget.

  • this is ONE OF THE BEST and GREATEST movies of ALL TIME especially from the last decade

  • Awesome movie. The ending with the mech suit battle was just fucking amazing

  • Watch'~.Movies";,Online`,`Here­~,'

    WWW.STREAMMOVIES1.TK

    COPY'`,THE:;'URL;;:ABOVE.,`

  • Fuuuuuuuuck yoooooouuuuu lol

  • 2:14 is that guy holding a FAMAS DMR rifle?

  • So radically different from anything we're seen?.....no still its a full price from me

  • But yea high full privce I'm 12 and and don't really like these types of movies but it was good

  • XD *alien* were gamma kill all black light a fire o shi*

  • Better Than Sex. This movie doesn't have a damn thing wrong with it. The story is told in a fantastic way. The aliens look amazing and act great. When it comes down to the last minute of the film, I was sitting with the remote about to hit menu and re-watch it. I love alien movies and this one did not disapoint. I watched this movie thinking that this was real. There were a lot of good interview scenes and news scenes that I started to believe that this was happening.

  • @Ryanmiller70 i agree makes me mad when you get the odd person who says its garbage, this film was a masterpiece almost faultless and very enjoyable, the majority whos watched this would agree, even though everyone has different opinions it does make me think is there something wrong with the people who slate this film's head? when they say bad stuff about the film, there just obvious not into sci fi

  • high full price

  • I found it a little to dark. Would have liked it more if there was a better ending

  • Me too

    Thought of thundergun

  • lol thunder gun?

  • @dragonmania1011 I THOUGHT THE SAME THING :P

  • this is a great movie , it kept me wondering more about the story it pulls me to wanting a sequel , it those type of movies where you surf the internet , for any sequel coming up , it's a better than sex , and if you've never had sex , better than porno

  • It was one of the best movies ever... but so gawd damn depressing I couldn't watch it more than 3 times.

  • humans cant use the alien weapons that was said in the movie. so the drones cant use becaus they dont think about it and the humans cant use it because they dont have the DNA . so its pretty much just useless trash

  • I miss carlyle

  • i fucking loved this movie but my mom and dad hated it

  • MST3K riffed this movie. Only it wasn't called District 9, it was called LaserBlast.

  • Best sci-fi film of the decade.

  • ..."...grasshoppers wearing bras and panties.."..........I just spit out my coffee. FUNNY!

  • This movie was amazing! And it was funny watching it with your gullible sister who believed me when I told her that this movie was a real documentary! Made watching it so much better ;)

  • @brisadiva9 LOL, did she think they were real aliens?

  • @Kousaburo Yep, until the end of the movie when I told her that this wasn't real lol

  • This is so much better than that overrated drivel Avatar. It's amazing to me that a movie with a $ 30 million dollar budget managed to have better and more realistic looking effects than the nearly $ 300 million dollar budgeted Avatar. Seriously, the effects in Avatar looked like cartoons.

  • @jheadSF06 Wrong Wrong Wrong...i loved both those movies...and your the only person in the world that thinks avatar effects are "like cartoons" ...the effects in avatar are stunning...don't just say things cuz your trying to be different really use your head if you didn't like the effects in avatar then really what are you looking for in a movie...this isn't the year 2880 ok...we don't have any better tech than whats in avatar so basically don't talk shit because you thinks it's cool to be diff.

  • @Gaz07 Tbh i kinda aggree with jheadSF06, Avatar i didnt find that great, the visual effect worked but not that long, its too colourful too look real, the story line is BASIC and it only draws attention to people who like fancy graphical imagery, i prefer District 9 coz it actually is different not just a basic story line but something to watch and draws the viewers by its story and unique movie view

  • @RestlessMuzik I prefer District 9 too myself...but what i'm saying isnthat guy is a joke saying the special effects were like cartoons thats all...i don't really care opinions are opinions we'd be here all are lifes if we tried to change them...

  • 152 turned into an alien

  • they used the wunderwaffle DG-2!!! and thunder gun the doctor would be roud

  • Excellent film. 

  • YOU BLIKSEM

  • Comment removed

  • Once again their is prove that having a big budget doesn't mean the film is any good. In fact having a smaller budget is good, because it means that the studio can't induldge, TV series Torchwood is another prime example, seasion 3 was pretty much striped of the usual budget but the show just got so good.

  • @aaustinvaughn1 you are a terrible movie :P

  • Speaking to all you movie fans out there, this movie is what most films in the science fiction genre of today should be. TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME

  • i want to see this now.

  • 4:46 thats the fucking thunder gun

  • @F3ARtheBLADE OMG UR RIGHT lololololol

  • @F3ARtheBLADE LOL I said the Same

  • Comment removed

  • Micheal Bay and George Lucas take note from Peter Jackson,you dont need a massive budget and CGI special effects up the arse to make to great movie.CGI is a great tool but since the late 90s directors just relyed on it waaaaaaaay to much.now most movies are all eye candy and no substance.

  • @MPT1983 culdnt have said it better

  • @MPT1983 Neil Blomkamp directed this film, not Peter Jackson.

  • @MPT1983 Thank god your not a george lucas apologist and star wars fanboy. George Lucas was a genius but now he has degenerated to a lousy a writer and a bad actor's director. He actually admits he is a bad director and writer. I think he's best at writing stories that someone else turns into a screenplay which adds all the dialogue and focuses the story around. This is why Empire and Jedi are such amazing films. A New Hope was a well directed masterpeice. But he's lost his touch

  • 4:46 that gun is in dead space i forgot the name but it is in dead space 100% sure

  • Avatar was the Crysis of movies, good graphics and nothing else. Then we have District 9 which doesnt have a multi-billion dollar bugdet, and still manages to pull more from the actors, graphics, and emotion than Avatar ever could. I saw this movie 5 times, and I now own the Bluray. I do wonder about a sequel however, I dont think it would have the same impact as the first, as is the "rule" of Hollywood.

  • this really is an amazing movie

  • 2009 was the year of Sci Fi (the order in which I liked them)

    District 9

    Avatar

    Star Trek

    Terminator Salvation

    Transformers 2(very entertaining people need to know though this is not at all a story film)

    In 2010 though there was 1 sci fi film I liked even more than District 9(although District 9 was amazing and totally awesome a 5 out of 5 star film) that film was Inception.

  • i love this movie it was amzing movie

    Better Then Sex !!!! that was i give it

  • i would have liked it better if they hadn't said the F word literally every two seconds. that was just so stupid. overall i say it was really good, but not amazing

  • if this movie was pg 13 it would make more money.

  • i would watch this over avatar

  • THANK YOU! Almost no one back home liked this movie AT ALL. Freaking shame. Oh well lol. I thought it was incredible.

  • i watched this movie didnt expecting anything. Boy, was i surprised. Yes it has its flaws but its still an excellent movie. Watch this movie, people.

  • Absolute masterful film making. And the very very very end when he makes the little flower i kinda almost cried..I just hope they come back for him like they promised. maybe a sequel is neccessary or maybe its not.

  • i liked this one entertaining 

  • I think District 9 was to Transformers 2 what The Matrix was to Star Wars First Prequel: a much better movie that took a lot less money to get made.

  • @Mottahead

    ......im pretty sure im not the only person that will read this.....multiple times and then say, ".....what?"

  • @Mottahead those movies have nothing to do with each other

  • @Mottahead That is the most fucking stupid pair of comparisons I've ever seen in my life. Who the hell compares Star Wars to the fucking Matrix?

  • The Matrix was a great movie while Star Wars: the Phantom Menace had Jah Jah Binks.

    Enough said?

  • District 9 Was an Awsome movie but when you watch it over agin for the second time it kinda gets boring!

  • @SmoothBrolly how so?

  • @ZenithMournsNoMore I actually don't know it's just not one of those movies that are great the second time you watch them and anyway i always skip the beggining of the movie on my x box 360 because it's heavy boring at the begging it's just talking and stuff so boring.

  • @SmoothBrolly That's how you know a masterpiece from a run of the mill film. If it's great the first time, the creators have accomplished their purpose. If you have to watch it 2-3 times to understand it, most likely little effort and vision went into the idea and final product.

  • @SmoothBrolly I Agree.

  • good on ya guys, about District 9! This was a great movie and is brilliant. It's more real to life and is about aliens. Brilliant mind. The slang and name calling of 'prawns' was even perfect. You could image that if this was real life this is what they would be called. Reminds me of what happens to illegal immigrants who come into countries and how it would be in 30 yrs time! Loved it too.

  • Cloverfield and District 9 are what happens when Hollywood decides to grow a pair and do something fresh and original...

  • typical. critics will give any independent film a good rating.

  • @gamesandguitars003 These guys aren't typical critics, genre geeks is a better description. If they were typical, they would've shunned this movie and hopped on the Hurt Locker's dick. Instead, they recognized the genius that is District 9.

  • @gamemeister27 What do you mean? The guy is praised just because he's a new director and because he "allegedly" used 30,000,000 dollars to make the movie. Oh wait, the movie was produced by Peter Jackson that brought us 100,000,000 dollar movies like the Lord of the Rings series which proved to be total garbage. Every movie Peter Jackson touches turns to trash.

  • @gamesandguitars003 ....obvious troll is obvious. I'm not biting.

  • @gamesandguitars003 No, you're thinking of joel schumacher.

  • @gamesandguitars003 it's NOT an independant movie,

  • In the ghettooooooo......

  • This movie was ok... Unoriginal Uninspiring, I don't know why people like this...it sucks

    ^^ That's what I would say if I hated this movie...This movie is FUCKING AWESOME. Should have won the oscar for best movie. Movie of the decade for me.

  • They are firing hand held HARP Weapons go figure.

  • I think it was ok, but there were lots of plot holes and what happens to the guy is a bit unoriginal (The Fly). So I wasnt crazy about this film. I know everybody is gona hate me, but i liked AVATAR more (mi opinion)

  • Best movie of 2009, imo.

  • @kingsalar1

    Short for "In my opinion". :-)

  • @TheCapitalistdog ty ,,,,, short for Thank You

  • i didnt like district 9

  • @xLaMzHD I bet you don't know what real film is.

  • @BugFilms97 you are so dumb. just because i dont like 1 movie it means i have no taste in movies? its my opinion, i am entitled to it. just because i didnt like this movie it doesnt mean i dont know what a good movie is.

  • @xLaMzHD Well, that's true. But what do you consider as good movies?

  • @BugFilms97 inception, or the hangover, avatar. im not a big movie person like the spill people.

  • @xLaMzHD hang over was stupid but funny but not a movie that sucks you in going oh shit after watching it

  • I'm so pissed cause I'm the only one of my family who liked it.

  • great movie.

  • Yeah District Nine is awsome but after you watch it you really don't fancy watching it again i thought it was by far 10/10 but it was quite sick when he vomited out that black crap and his finger nails were falling of blagh!

  • BETTER THEN SEX

  • Pretty disgusting when he vomits the black shit but great movie!

  • The best sci-fi action flick since Aliens and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

  • @eBenchley Totally AGREE;)

  • Funniest review ever!

  • did you know this movie was supposed to be halo but they ran out of money

  • i was talking about the human when i said where was he going in the ship not the 2 aliens. also i said america and not china cos america is the worlds main and only official super power and american has much stronger links to south africa then chna does....btw, sout africa already has a high crime rate, so it shows how much you know about the world.

  • @slimithy12 You barely know anything about this world it's set in the future. Your point about how the aliens where ugly was fucking stupid, really that's why you didn't like them, that's the definition of being a shallow person.*Raises middle finger*. Wickus had flaws and depth and Copley was great in it. And your spelling shows how old you are.
