Sunny saw it with her mom last night and enjoyed it so much ("Best sci/fi movie I've ever seen!") that I'll take her to see it again next week and she can warn me when the scarey bits are coming.So who saw it...I thought it was pretty good. Wifey didn't really approve.

I agree with the sentiment at least...best I've seen in a while. Not to raise the expectations too high, but a lot of movies lately have disappointed. Go see it!

im not sure what district 9 is about...... im definetely not watching it.... i think its an alien horror show. Its also kind of ironic becos District 9 is where all the very rich people live in Singapore.

I feel the same way about the idiots...too bad the big screen still makes me go. It was crowded and my wife was sitting next to a guy with really bad breath. :blink: Normally, we sit next to the people that need to talk. :angry:

Well, Sunny got tired of waiting and came over and dragged me off to see this movie; I'm glad she did.
The movie loses a lot of its force for anyone not familiar with the role of the SADF and its mercenary "koevet" (crowbar) during the reign of Apartheid in South Africa. It focuses in particular on the notorious forced expulsion of blacks from "District 6" and their equally forced relocation, and ironically, we hear blacks voicing the same old bigotry toward the "prawns" that whites used against them. It isn't by chance that in the beginning, white employees are all sitting at computers. Computers were the major instrument by which the government created and enforced its Population Registry. Computers, incidentally, made and exported by IBM.
For any one interested in military transport (and who isn't? ) those menacing looking transports used by the MNU are the same Caspirs used by the koevet.
I find it very interesting that while most Americans are familiar with the holocaust which occured around 65 years ago, very few people who attend this movie will remember or have learned about Apartheid which ended 15 years ago.
Back to the mantids!
