"District 9" Best Sci-fi Movie of 09?
Travis wrote in with a story that says much of what my friends have been saying to me all weekend: "Slashdot covered 'District 9' back in July. I was originally excited to see this movie for its exhibition of exoskeleton robot 'mechs' (see images and video at Hizook.com ). After watching the film this opening weekend, I can honestly say that it was an amazing science fiction movie! Everything was spot-on: the plot, the human elements, the alien elements, the technology, and the seamless blend of special effects with real camera capture. This film should vault Neill Blomkamp into sci-fi stardom, on par with George Lucas and the Wachowski Brothers (of Matrix fame). This is certainly a must-see movie — easily the best movie of the year."
Please don't ever attempt to make a movie since you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The 3rd act was absolutely amazing. Blomkamp has demonstrated he has the potential of being one of the premiere action directors.
If it's your favorite Sci-Fi movie of 2009... it IS the best Sci-Fi movie of 2009. Anyone who doesn't love it as much as you is an idiot. If someone says something about their "opinion", just tell them that their opinion is WRONG. Also, everything is a competition, especially your feelings about movies, music, TV and other media. There is your experience, and there is the WRONG experience. Don't let them get away with some bullshit about "subjective experience". Use some words like chiaroscuro. Talk about how it has no plot. Just because one event caused/led to the other doesn't mean it has a plot. It has a plot if you like it. If you don't, it doesn't.
If a movie you like does well, that just proves how right you are about the awesomeness of the movie. If it tanks, it's because most movie goers are mouth breathing cretins who know nothing about cinematic aesthetics.
If you hate the movie and it does well, it's because of those same knuckle draggers. If it does poorly, then that just proves that you were so right about how bad it was that even the plebes didn't like it.
Everyone should feel and think the same way you do.
Utilizing the synergization of benchmark e-solutions to pre-workaround action items!
I suppose I can agree with the summary if we are talking about the George Lucas that made "Jar Jar" -- but not the George Lucas I imagine existed before that.
You mean, the George Lucas who decided that space ships in a vacuum behave exactly the same as airplanes in Earth's atmosphere? Or the
George Lucas who worked so hard to capture the exact sound of an Imperial Star Destroyer in space? Yeah, he really sold out when he added Jar Jar to The Phantom Menace.
Transformers doesn't even count because Michael Bay blows
