District 9
Whata Foooking greyit film!! [/south African accent]
Really enjoyed this!!
I'd only seen the initial trailer beforehand so didn't really know what to expect from the entire film, but it was great!
So many styles of film mixed together, kept reminding me of best elements from a number of great films [especially had a Black Hawk Down vibe] all rolled into one.
Great setting, characters, themes, the way it was filmed, really good acting, great CGI (at the very start I wasn't quite sure about the 'prawns' but they really were intergrated very well), and the way they managed to pull of really emotional performances from the aliens was superb!
Great! 8.75/10
Couple of questions...
1) Where were the aliens harnessing the black liquid 'fuel' from?... I didn't think it was explained.
2) Also, was the news footage of a piece 'falling' off the ship actually the escape craft falling to earth and then covered/built over by 'christopher'?
3) Did we find out what actually brought them to earth?
