I just watched District 9
. Before seeing it, I had a feeling it would be similar to Avatar
. but actually, it's a little different but the concept is quite similar. Both movies have aliens as the "victims" and the humans as the "bad people", and both have a human as hero for the aliens. The obvious difference is that District 9
has more scenes that you could literaly throw up once you see 'em ~ gorey, bloody.. ewww.. you know what I mean when you get to see it. Similarly to Avatar, you'll feel sorry for the "prawns" [or aliens]. This movie made me forget the eye-candy on Avatar O_O..Watch the trailer here
I gotta say.. the effects are jaw dropping. The story is good. The actors are believable. It deserved to be mentioned in the Oscars. Without the good-story element, the movie might've been just another disgusting sci-fi stuff; It's definitely weird but it's the story worked for me. I find the kid "prawn" cute!
I'll give it
8.5/10
Put the yuckie scenes aside and you'll see a great story
