i'm stoked about this, too. Is this supposed to be based on a video game or something?

[raubhimself]

I don't care if it rips off a lot from Alien Nation, it still looks like one of the best sci-fi movies in ages.

[Coward Crutch]

I will be seeing this rather than GI Joe....

Neil Blomkamp was originally slated to direct the Halo movie with Peter Jackson as producer. But Microsoft pulled out due to the budget being too high and not trusting that they could turn a profit from it. So after that deal fell through the two of them came up with another idea for a sci-fi movie and District 9 is what came out of that.

It looks really good. I might even go to the theater to see it and I don't go to the theater ever!

yeah i guess Distric 9 came largely from a short called Alive in Joburg (2005)

Caught it this morning, well done, no over the top CGI, good plot. Warning... lots and lots of social commentary.

[XMark]

I need to see this before I accidentally get the plot spoiled somewhere on the internet.

[Tender Lad]

This is a pretty badass flick.

You won't be rooting for the humans.

[differently biotic]

i really, really liked it.

[Jacki O.]

i also really liked it. The CGI was good enough that i actually forgot that the aliens looked stupid and was more concerned with the storyline!

it was very entertaining and thought provoking.

If it is like Alien Nation, I will probably like this movie.

It might be cheesy now, but back in the day I loved Alien Nation: both the movie with James Caan and the TV show with the guy who looked like the love child of Mick Jagger. I can't remember his name.
