He really needed to go back to where it all began, the later movies went, too commercial I think. Well, number 4 anyway. Ditto with AVP
Anyone seen the trailers for District 9, the new scifi film casting aliens as illegial immigrants

It was Craptacular! Even better/worse than I expected.
Bring on 'Machete' and 'Werewolf Woman of the SS'!
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on it hoping it's good. The short trailers I saw made it look good but the longer preview had me thinking it might be too politically orientated - segregation and media bias...
Let us know if it's worth seeing.![]()
Which brings us to where we are today...
I think it's worth seeing. I really enjoyed it and have been thinking about scenes from it a lot. (One scene in particular really got to me)
There's a lot of politically orientated content (not so much media bias) but that's kind of the point. These are illegal aliens who happen to actually be aliens.
The special effects aren't perfect, but this isn't a huge budget movie and they work well enough to tell the story.
It's perhaps a little uneven, each third of the movie seems very different from the rest, but all up it tells a very compelling tale, and is the best original sci-fi film I've seen in a long time.
