You may not want to read this if you don't want me to spoil it for you - but I'm gonna go ahead and blog about the best movie I've seen this year. Critics rated this movie pretty good. Usually a good movie is rated "C" but this one was rated an "A-". Convincing enough I guess. I'm predicting it's gonna take home some movie awards or at least people's choice award. Watching the movie, you never expect this one annoying dude that typically dies first in sci-fi flicks would be the leading character. You hate him first, you wanna see him get all messed up, but then later, you start to root for the dude. Another cool thing is that the aliens (also called prawns) has human like personalities, but they don't look anything human. They look like giant prawns. More like the underdeveloped human fly from the movie The Fly. I say they took some part of the movie The Fly. The aliens were also rude, brutal, and very grumpy, which was sort of funny. But they weren't the bad guys, the humans were. Typically most aliens in films wanted to take over planet earth, these aliens stays in a Johannesburg squatter community in South Africa as refugees (district 9), and they were badly treated by both the government and the locals. There were no peaceful negotiations whatsoever about exchanging intelligence between the aliens and human scientists. It was all about not being welcomed, harsh conditions, secret weapons, and battles between mean soldiers and ghetto ass voodoo gangs who were fighting to hunt down an alien infected human specimen. Overall I gave it a "B". I like the alien weapons, the nasty looking biological alien labs, the story, and the acting. Plus it wasn't Hollywood, the casts were very much like regular folks. And I wish the movie was a bit longer. Can't wait for District 10.
The theater's ticket. It's an old smelly theater, I wouldn't recommend it for dating. There are a lot of new theaters around the area, like the malls but this one is cool for going solo...
