It is directed by Peter Jackson. But film angers me, because this means Peter Jackson isn't working on the movie adaptation of His Majesty's Dragon. Ergh! I can't wait for that movie to come out, especially after seeing how amazing the LotR Extended Trilogy was. |

Okay, I saw the film yesterday, and it was AMAZING. I have no other words to describe it. If you are a sci-fi lover, you really should see this movie. You will love it. |

This was one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen. It caters to every audience, and I mean every audience. There is some aspect of this film you will like, if not all of it. |

This film was absolutely incredible, bringing together so many of the greatest things about sci-fi. The flashy action scenes, the existential questions, everything. And yet, though I loved this film, it disheartens me that the portrayal of humanity was so accurate. We act as though we are above racism and cruelty, and yet it is not a strech to imagine the scenario depicted in the film becoming reality. It serves as a reminder that we still have a long way to go. |

I hadn't seen the film yet but from the looks of it and from what my sister told me the film is a remake of Independence Day. While I usally hate remakes I actually want to see District 9. |

I personally don't find it a remake of Independence Day. In Independence Day, the aliens have used their advantage to dominate the human race. It isn't like that at all in District 9. Trust me. I won't reveal any more, though. |

Your sister did not see the same film then. This was nothing like ID4, trust me. |

I saw it on Friday as well. I thought it was great, except the main character's accent made him sound ridiculous saying the f word so many times. ![]() I really liked the ending. The main problem I have with a lot of movies is I don't like their ending, but this one was great. |

I wasn't expecting someone finding that their only problem with the movie. ![]() Well, this wasn't over NY, Paris, Tokyo, or any of those cities. It was Johannesburg. So they all had accents that made the f-bomb sound funny. |

Oh no, no, no! I didn't have a problem with it at all! I just wasn't expecting that particular piece of the movie to show up on someone's list of problems that he/she had with the movie. Oh, and I saw this on IMDb; the director of District 9 might come back for a sequel. |

Oh, sorry. And the sequel sounds cool, but I fear it may be rushed and end up being just an action movie, without the emotional impact. |

I'm not sure when the sequel would come out. Not for a couple of years. |

Don't mind me, I'm mentally insane.

I saw this movie two days ago with my brother; and it was pretty awesome. The visual effects were astounding, and I loved the whole documentary feel of it. The camera was shaky, but not nearly as shaky as Cloverfield. |
