I've never seen it, but it sounds like a shame on you evil humans/white people movie. You know, either the aliens represent blacks or other minorites or they represent the earth. And the bad humans are being mean to them.

I hate that kind of movie as well, and "District 9" does have a bit of that tone, but it doesn't come anywhere near the arrogance and hypocrisy of "Avatar". At least the guy in "District 9" didn't like living as an alien. The guy in "Avatar", on the other hand, is shown rejecting his filthy American/Caucasian humanity so that he can go live with the blue Indians who are at one with nature and whose crap doesn't stink.

District 9 is a great movie. It does have that "humans are bad" tone especially when it comes to MNU scientists and soldiers. But it wasn't solely towards white people, lets not forget the Nigerian gang who referred the aliens as "demons" and they wanted to gain their powers (aka the epic alien weaponry) by eating them. All that aside, its a great movie. Reminds me of Resistance in some ways :P

It is a good movie, I don't find it to be as amazing or special as some, no where near my favorite of last year, but an entertaining flick.

Definitely one of my favorite sci fi films, and I think it should have been a contender for Best Picture. It blew me away the first time I saw it, and was more enjoyable than Avatar for me.

Except he didn't betray them.. He betrayed a corporation, not humankind..

Meh, I thought it was an alright movie. The designs of the aliens were too generic, uninspired, and human-like and the pacing of the movie wasn't great; it got off to a glacially slow start and then became action packed towards the half way mark.

honestly one of my favorite movies this past decade.

the growth of the human character in that movie was awesome, the action excellent, and the social commentary was blunt but entirely believable and not preachy at all imo.

Wikus "Sweetie Man" Van De Merwe is now one of my favorite fictional characters.

Here's a video of him trying to find Charlize Theron:

Same here. In fact, I found some of the protagonist's metamorphosis to be quite nauseating.
