But, like a Gallagher (SP?) concert, bring a poncho.
It's a gory splatter-fest. It is so far beyond kid friendly..

The only way it could have been gorier would have been if they ran a busload of puppies through a sawmill, forwards and then backwards, in super slo-mo.

And be warned if you are going to bring a girl, this one will cost you many many chick flicks..
(I'm actually a little cheesed off that the promotional materials did in no way indicate the level of gore in the film. Knowing what kinds of films she likes, I would not have brought my wife)

I loved it, she watched her hands most of the time.


Aliens, automatic human weapons, Nigerians, splatter-riffic alien weapons, ..

Only thing to make it more perfect would have been zombies..

This sounds awesome!!

Cool hope will be out in DVD soon.

Add to that Rob Zombie's Halloween II another one I think might be good also.

The first one was great.

Well, since it just hit the theatres I'd guess you have at least a few months to wait.

I saw it this past week and I liked it. The gore didn't bother me as I've seen considerably worse in real life. Looking forward to it coming out on DVD so I can purchase it. There are a ton of vehicles in here that would be soooo cool as kits, not to mention the aliens themselves. The movie also gives you some good views of the Casper, a heavy miine resisant transport used in South Africa, which is where the story takes place. The story is akin to the Native American re-location of the late 1800's. Starts off as a somewhat documentary and before you know it, without realizing it, it has morphed into the story. Very good IMHO. "Q"

Yup my gal and me just caught D9 just now.... WE LOVED IT!!! Now we can see the M18-side of Peter Jackson!
Loved everything about it.. a very different type of Aliens story ... Great choice with the story being in South Africa, ..documentary becoming into a full movie.. not your usual Hollywood bunch of actors.. Weaponary and action sequences.. And very little being told about the Aliens themselves and their intentions on Earth.. And the depiction of Humanity's... Never changing Inhumane side!

What I love about the end.. is that there are more questions than answers but without the bitter taste!

Praying for a sequel..or trilogy!

saw it with a few friends the other day. all we could say was WOW. Absolutely Stunnig. I think ill be buying it when it comes out.

I loved it!! Saw it last week and I'm still thinking about it. This may possibly as close as I've seen in a long while to being the 'perfect' movie.

Apart from the obvious apartheid parallels, the characters were all great, the photography was great, the acting was great and the CGI/Sci-Fi was great. WOW!! I agree with the original poster....RUN, don't walk to see this one.

The main Character in d-9 also played the Glider Pilot (Lieutenant FUBAR) that had the bag of Dog tags in SPR.

Hooah

If you were in Iraq or Afghanistan you could already buy it. If you want to see somebody using a video camera to record it. I know everybody will give me flak about it but that is the way most everyone there keeps up with the movies.

Hmmmm..., sorry but no. The glider pilot, Lieutenant DeWindt, that hands over the bag of dog tags was played by Leland Orser, who was not in District 9.
