Cinepub Review: District 9

I don’t think it’ll come as much of a shock that I think this has been a pretty bad year for films. Sure, there was 'Star Trek' and I liked 'Watchmen' more than some internet folks seemed to but things like 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'Friday the 13th' just can’t be overlooked and oh how I wish they could be. I held out hope, however, for one shining jewel in this sea of mediocrity and downright awfulness and that hope lay in the hands of a movie set in South Africa which was odd b… Continue

A Review of DISTRICT 9, by me, EL FOGGY

Welcome to the Indie Sci-Fi! This movie is the definition of the term "EPIC WIN!!!" Low budget, but a genius director and produce using every penny of it to make something, not only visually amazing, but emitonally too. The tail is simple yet so deep, it takes you to dark places and you leav… Continue

The District 9 Aliens Invade EA/Maxis Game

For those unfamiliar with PC gaming as of right now, there is a game out there by Maxis and distributed by EA called Spore. It’s pretty much Will Wright’s last project before he retired to focus on other things and can be best described as Sim Everything. You start out as a single cell microb and then evolve your way into a galactic race capable of beaming down onto other planets and abdu… Continue

Despite My Gripes - District 9 (SPOILERS ALERT)

The premise sounds like any other sci-fi movie, but District 9 puts a twist on its story and makes it unpredictable. I was so enthralled by the documentary style, the violence, the characters (emotionally invested to as well), and the best special effects I've seen in a long time that even these plot holes didn't… Continue

Stan's review of: District 9

Dear Master Chief I'm sorry, but this is for the best With love, Peter Jackson and, boy was it THE BEST. 28 years ago, Alien mothership arrived above Johannesburg, South Africa. Within the mothership is numerous aliens, with severe malnutrition and nowhere to go with the ship being broken. This lead to the founding of MNU (Multi-National United) and District 9, r… Continue

District 9 Review: Did It Live Up to ROFL's Hype?

"District 9" was my most anticipated movie of August 2009. We didn't really know anything about it until recently (apparently, the filming was very hush-hush), so it wasn't on anyone's "Most Anticipated of 2009" as far as I know of. However, as soon as the teaser was shown, marketing posters were being placed in stores and outlets dictati… Continue

District 9 Review by Austin

Man, where the hell do I start with this movie? Well for one thing I'm glad I finally saw it, took me long enough. Time for a poorly written review!

Well in terms of plot, I really don't wanna spoil anything, cause there's a lot to spoil. (Is letting people know that things could be spoiled count as a spoiler?) But you know the basics, Aliens "crash" on good ol' planet Earth, and conflict en… Continue

My late review of District 9 (as spoiler free as possible)

The surprise of the summer. Besides seeing some movie posters and the standard trailer, I had heard next to nothing about this film. All I knew going in was that it had aliens and a budget of $30 million. Was it a political thriller? An action flick? A romance?… Continue

Mr. J's Movie Reviews: District 9 "Foreigners, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY! But aliens are most welcome."

Just one, three-lettered word sums up this movie: WOW! This movie was just incredible! Superb film-making, top-notch acting, and effects that put Transformers to shame. ~~Fuck you, Bay.~~ I can not tell you people just how awsome this movie was! It's truley beyond words. I'm all giddy just typing about it. A guy is given the job to evict extraterrestrial refugees from a really shitty, slum-of-a-place. The job is more or less going terrible, and our main character is playing wit… Continue

Notes big studios and filmmakers should take from District 9.

This summer may be looked back upon as the summer that turned it around. It might be the last summer studios and filmmakers throw millions of dollars at the screen for no particular reason. Why? District 9. Tips for the Producers of Major Motion Pictures 1. Don't Get a Star to be in your movie, just because they're a star. Today many big-name actors get paid millions of dollar per movie, racking up the budgets to levels beyond what they should be, why do you think "Funny People" cost $75 mill… Continue

Stan's review of: Fantastic Mr. Fox

When they call it 'Fantastic', they weren't kidding. Fantastic Mr. Fox is based on a children's book 'Fantastic Mr.Fox' by Raold Dahl. Mr. Fox (George Clooney) is 7 fox-year old newspaper columnist, who is married to Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) and...
