Aww, ok, you got me there :) Really, though, D-9 was a pretty neat flick, you almost don't realize it's a movie until halfway to the end.

Do you like prawns? Because after this movie you'll never look at them the same way again. :D

Despite the ad campaign I only just stumbled across this by accident the other day, read up the storyline and watched the trailer.
It looks good, an interesting social commentary in a science-fiction film, and quite ironic (although perhaps intentionally so?) that it was chosen to be filmed in South Africa. :hmmm:
Regards Tarantino, there are some of his I like, Kill Bill 1 and 2 comes to mind, primarily for his cinematography, the way he sets up shots and filters, it's very artistic and also usually very bloody :haha:
Eastwood in the westerns, classic stuff, another classic =

I just saw it yesterday. Had a couple of plot holes that bothered me a little, but on the whole an excellent flick. The CGI was outstanding, making the aliens look very real, and in spite of their all seeming to look alike (which on closer examination they didn't - another racial comment?) they had very distinct personalities.

I highly recommend it to any sci-fi fan.

I found the film to be a nice change from the constant aliens scifi flicks.

Nice story with a cool CGI effects. Good to know the certain interests groups have your best interest at heart. :haha:

I can't say anymore than it was AWSOME!

1st Star Trek and then D9 its a good year for Sci Fi. Also Bruce Willis is comeing out with a Sci Fi move soon. Can't wait...

D9 was great. I wasn't a huge fan of the premise, but it was really well made. It was a very intelligent film.

Just watched it, and have to say this is one of the coolest movies I have seen this year. Just setting it to Johannesburg (and not New York) for a change, did heaps to the immersion. Big thumbs up for great but not overdone CGI, and very cool action sequences. Also nice that despite all the shooting, you actually feel something as well.
