[HalveBlue]

Looks good.

[flip3d]

I absolutely MUST see this.

[Slammed180]

Looks retarded.
Sorry, but the special effects look rather juvenile. Not my style of movie at all.

well, you're canadian.

[Slammed180]

well, you're canadian.

I am Canadian.
If it doesn't have an Igloo, or a Lumberjack in it, then it's just fucking stupid.

[ZilviaKid]

im canadian, and i think this looks awesome as fuck.

[Slammed180]

im canadian, and i think this looks awesome as fuck.

You don't count.

[Fries]

Haha. Canadian lawls in this thread.

Movie looks cool. I'll probably rent it.

[surge s14]

damn it better be good

[GSXRJJordan]

Haha, never seen anything for it until this thread - looks interesting.

[FRpilot]

saw the original trailer a few months ago and didn't have all these updated scenes.

original trailer made me think this was a movie about "our troops in another country and war or something about big corporations drilling for oil in another land" when the woman said "they spending so much money to keep them here when they could be spending it on other things.."

[tsx1racer04]

looks good did you see their billboards,
http://www.coronacomingattractions.com/sites/default/files/district9_bus_bench.jpg


Wow, I've seen one just like that Almansor Park in Alhambra area. I thought it meant like no pets or anything, boy was i wrong.

[exitspeed]

There's a new trailer for the movie.
IGN Video: District 9 Movie Trailer - Trailer (http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/14216040/district-9/videos/dis9_trl2_071409.html)

Man this flick looks like it could be really good. This will be a first day viewing for me.

[shmiddy]

looks great i cant wait. i hope the story is good

[ZilviaKid]

looks like it would be a fun video game.

[nismo racer]

wow i was skeptic at first but now im really looking forward to seeing it.

[keistyle]

there has been a poster at net fragz (gaming center in southern california) for a while now, how neat.

[murda-c]

This reminded me of how much i wanted peter jackson and neill blomkamp to make a halo movie lol

IGN: District 9 Review (http://movies.ign.com/articles/101/1012761p1.html)

IGN has a review up and they loved the movie. I can't wait to go see this.

[DALAZ_68]

pretty much a movie in which humans are the bad guys...sounds awesome...

[Soup Nazi]

A Must see for me.

[cxlo8331]

another movie i want to see.

[g-via]

I am Canadian.
If it doesn't have an Igloo, or a Lumberjack in it, then it's just fucking stupid.

if it doesn't have maple syrup in it, i don't eat it.

[Slammed180]

if it doesn't have maple syrup in it, i don't eat it.

You are a greater Canadian than I.
I can't stand Maple Syrup.

[ESmorz]

IT'S FUCKING BRUTAL!

FUCK GI JOE, GO SEE THIS.

I almost want the brutality to be a surprise to anyone who sees it, but damn this is a fun movie.

[Fries]

Reviews say this is win.

[Soup Nazi]

IT'S FUCKING BRUTAL!

FUCK GI JOE, GO SEE THIS.

I almost want the brutality to be a surprise to anyone who sees it, but damn this is a fun movie.


Fucking Great :eek3d:

I'll be seeing it later.

[Adikt]

there were alot of parts where it could have been a really shitty movie, but then it does a complete 180 and multiplies the awesome x10

[exitspeed]

DAMN. I gotta go see this this weekend.

[Slammed180]

My first thought was this movie is going to blow. But Ive been reading great reviews all over the place. Going tonight to check it out. I really hope it lives up to the hype.

[exitspeed]

My first thought was this movie is going to blow. But Ive been reading great reviews all over the place. Going tonight to check it out. I really hope it lives up to the hype.

Read this from IGN:

The trouble with giving this film the five stars we've elected to give it is simply that it elevates expectations; it drives people to know more, filling their cinematic bellies before the main course even begins. Know only that the movie is good, it is important, it is strongly made. Let words like "great" and "brilliant" and "genre-defining" linger after the credits have rolled. Go to the film as empty as you can, and believe us, you'll leave satisfied, and with the urge to book a return trip to District 9.

[shmiddy]

just read a review and the said it was "FUCKING AWSOME" im heading to VA this weekend, might take a day to watch it with the wife

[tricky_ab]

Crap...Sooo many good movies out right now...

[ronmcdon]

IGN says the most redundant things.
Of course all things equal, lowering or raising your expectations will have some effect.
You also can't fairly rate something based on hype (or lack thereof).
It's not the film's fault you built up your own expectations.

[ESmorz]

Crap...Sooo many good movies out right now...

No there isn't.

This blows anything in theaters right now out of the water.

[fromxtor]

I will be seeing this at 9:40 tonight

[K_style]

I am going to watch this tonight. ..

hope it is good...

[ronmcdon]

No there isn't.

This blows anything in theaters right now out of the water.

I agree. this year in general has been the worst in a while.
Even the indie/foreign films aren't all that great.
Seems like most action films are PG-13, and made for a pre-pubescent audience.

District 9 look good though.
I find it hilarious how the film takes place in South Africa, with the locales being almost bigot-like.
As always, I enjoy Peter Jackson's work.

[MandTPhotography]

This movie....was fucking epic.

So much better than what I expected, and I had high expectations.

This movie is brutal, so good.

[240sxdriftin]

seeing it tonight....so PUMPED!!

[theronin]

holy crap! you guys are getting me pumped to see it now! man, i cant wait.

[jimmytango00]

FUCKING AMAZING!

so much more than I expected!


GO ALIENS!

FUCK HUMANS!

you'll love it.

[90hatchie]

was going to see it tonight BUTTTT
gf and i got a lil preoccupied with something else lol
tomorrows the day
im so excited haha

[kandyflip445]

The movie was awesome. Definately a must see!

[coww-cho!!!!!]

i heard this movie was supposed to be about the HALO game series but they just changed it up probably due to how low of a budget they had

can anyone confirm whther or not it was supposed to be a halo movie?

i havent seen it yet but i will soon

[ESmorz]

Yeah sure, it was a Halo movie.

[Slammed180]

Meh, went and saw it.
It exceeded my original expectations, but I don't think it deserved as high of ratings as it received.

Overall, I think it's a good renter.

[BustedS13]

SHIT WAS HARDCORE.

any time a mech shows up in anything, it's going to kick ass.
any time Peter Jackson has anything to do with anything that isn't lord of the butthole rings, it's going to kick ass.
blah blah blah, it's going to kick ass.
i thought the main character the whole time was the dude from dead alive. guess i was wrong, but he looked pretty close.

AND THE TRAILER FOR FINAL DESTINATION. OH FUCK.

[Z33dori]

GOD THIS MOVIE WAS EPIC WIN

i loved it... nothing like i expected at all. It was awesome

[Souljahzs13]

I've been waiting for the reviews to come in, and it looks like I will be watching it too. I can agree with a few of you that there are not many worth movies out in the theaters right now. I walked out on Bruno...

[DataXUnknown]

In my opinion there is way too much fucking hype for this movie. Litterally every damn post in this thread is like "OMFG DISTRICT 9 FUCKING AMAZING GO SEE IT ITS SO GREAT ASDFASFD". I just saw it today and it was just weird. It was pretty good, but nothing close to a movie where I would be going crazy about. I was just curious of what it was and what it was about because I saw signs everywhere off of freeways and by LAX theres a huge billboard of it.

[Z33dori]

huh, there was zero advertising on the east coast.... other than in the movie theaters

i never even saw a preview on tv...

[DevilZ]

Just finished the movie and its GREAT!!! I love this movie. I need it in my non existing dvd collection. oh yea my GF loved it also haha she hope theres going to be part 2.

[iHeartTheTouge]

i loved this movie.

there were plenty of parts where it seemed like it was gonna end really bad, then some shit came out of left field and made me go 'wtf! hell yes!'

beginning i was bummed. documentary type movies are cool and all, but they way there were doing it in the first 15ish minutes I didnt enjoy. i thought it was gonna be that way the whole movie but that abruptly ended it got progressively bad ass!

definitely recommend this movie! i wouldnt mind paying to go see it again, this time not in the first fucking row though. that blew having some girl behind me spaz out on my seat for 2 hours. i expect a sequel.

[lflkajfj12123]

wow this movie totally took me by surprise !

it was really good! i enjoyed this much more than transformers 2

[BustedS13]

oh, and by the way.

this was opening weekend, and this was airing on one of the smaller screens at the theater. and it was only on two screens. fucking The Goods was on three screens, and they were all big ones. the theater was packed though. The Goods was pretty empty.
hoping they give D9 more screens next weekend.

[SlideWell]

me and a couple others walked out halfway through the movie. the camera shaking all the time was fucking annoying. documentary style is cool if its a real documentary, this was not. other than that, maybe ill give it another shot when its on dvd. glad i didnt pay for the movie tho.

[Okinawandrifter87]

I wouldnt say it was the best movie out but I still did enojoy it. I think I just expected more or differently from it was all I guess.. still good gore scenes tho lol.

[anthony240]

This was the best movie I've seen this year. The beginning had me intrigued, the cameraman angle pulled me into the movie and it felt real. You can feel the disgust, the hate these people have. The story had me hooked, I didn't even think about walking out, even to pee! I held that bastard for a good hour, whoooo. The realisim, the directing, the vaporization of bodies, hell fucking yes. I was glad to pay for this movie.

[roboticnissan]

thought it was going to be cool so i saw it and its super slow in the beginng but it picked up wasnt that great but i wouldnt buy it

[zenki.life]

cool cool. imma go see it tonight.

[Slammed180]

So in three years, can we expect District 10?

[Sil-Abc]

Honestly i dont kno what the whole hype is about the movie. All these reviews make this movie sound better than the dark knight and by far this movie was not comparable. It was entertaining but nothing really OOH AHHed me. Personal opinion so many will disagree but overall its an above average movie but not worth 10+ dollars.

I totall agree with you.

[fromxtor]

I saw it with my wife, I ws on the edge of my seat after the video camera bs was over with. BUT on a totally different note, I got kind of pissed that going to see the 9:45 showing. There were tons of kids in the theater, like c'mon dude people getting blown to pieces is something you want your 6-10 year old sons/daughters seeing in their sleep that night?

[!Zar!]

Um, kids are having sex at ten.

So no big deal.

[FaLKoN240]

I thought it was really good, and I think you guys are confusing HYPE with ADVERTISING.

If you guys knew about the movie and went to go fucking see it, then they did their job right.

I enjoyed it, and I'm happy I was excited to see it, and even more excited to see it last night.

I liked it the whole way through and there were some good twists and turns.

[Sil-Abc]

i didnt see any advertising in norcal for this movie, only way i found out about this movie was from hype and people talking about it.

[wangan_cruiser]

movie kick ass for myself.


i did liked it. i just didnt like the main character.

story was good. it shows nature of humans being selfish when they are in trouble.


but other than that im hoping theres a part 2.


and as for advertisement in norcal. if u seen couple of movies u should see the trailer from previous movie.

i think i saw that when we were watching transformers 2 up in metreon.

[fashnootin]

You missed out on the good part; I wasn't feeling the movie from the beginning also but as I stuck it out, like others said, it got progressively better. They certainly left it open for a sequel, and action at the end of the movie kinda off-sets the lack in the beginning half of the movie.

Though I have to admit, the first half had me feeling like I was just watching a situation that was a losing battle. It wasn't the best ending, but it's not a "feel-good" movie to begin with. I enjoyed it, would recommend it.

[Genovese.Jr]

looks good did you see their billboards,
http://www.coronacomingattractions.com/sites/default/files/district9_bus_bench.jpgcalll that number lol

[ixfxi]

just saw it a few hours ago, interesting movie... kinda felt like borat with terminator II as funny as that sounds. overall. the plot was good and movie was enjoyable.. but nothing ground-breaking by any means. completely obvious that it was long-winded to remind us all that they are making a fucking sequel, its like gee.. thanks for the newsflash, we already know.


once the movie actually kicked it, it started to remind me of that old video game called "another world" or "out of this world" whichever one you know.

i think the only problem i had with this movie is that the aliens were a bunch of fuckin pussies, would've been fun if they were more aggressive and smarter.

[!Zar!]

I think that was the whole point of this movie.

Almost every damn alien movie has aliens that have unphathomable power.

And unlike having super bitch ass aliens like ET or Alf, they decided to do something in which the aliens had power, but it was from the weapons they created.

Yet they still exhibited compassion for each other as well as some form of superhuman strength.

I don't think they tried fighting back hard because they hella would've lost to the MNU's weaponry and command squads.

The thing I liked about the movie is that it was well thought out almost the whole way.

Aside from the part where the dude breaks back into MNU and his password still works, it was a pretty good storyline.

Am I saying this is the best movie ever in existence, no.

Nor am I saying it sucks.

All I'm saying is that it's worth going to the theaters and seeing.

I paid $10 to see this movie and at the end I felt that it was $10 well spent.

[ZenkiKid]

looks like ima be watching this. I thought judging by the preview that it was gonna be a ID4 reincarnate

[FaLKoN240]

I paid $10 to see this movie and at the end I felt that it was $10 well spent.

Yeah, but you didn't front me back that movie ticket LOL.

[RentonD]

So is this a shake screen movie like Cloverfield? I get that the first 15 minutes are documentary-like, but I just wanted peoples opinions on the filming after that. I really enjoyed the shake-screen first person POV of Cloverfield, but I wasn't super enthused with the viral advertising or the plot for this movie.

big chunks of it do have a handicam feel, but a professionally wielded handicam feel.

[!Zar!]

Yeah.

Even better.

GREAT movie to see for free.

hahaha.

I'll give it to you later today.

[FRpilot]

saw this yesterday. it was pretty good, but not the super badass best movie of the year that everyone was making it out to be. it was put together well, wasn't boring, and best of all it kept me entertained and beat my expectations of this movie being really shitty or overhyped.

there wasn't the crazy advertising here like that park bench in other areas. when i first saw the trailer a few months ago, i didn't even care for this movie, but since everyone said it was good i just watched it. it was either this or GI Joe, but since everyone said GI Joe sucked and this was good, i watched this (i will probably see GI today). i guess i bought into the hype from zilvia.

all in all, i feel better spending $10 for this then some of the other bombs this year like t4, transformers 2, wolverine, etc.

PS. i was just ON TIME for this movie, so of course the whole theater was packed. i had to either sit at the very top row or in those upper corner seats. i choose the top row b/c fuck watching this movie at an angle. next to the empty seat next to me was some guy and his girl, and midway through the movie, she was on her knees giving this dude head. thought something was weird when i could have sworn my peripherals out the corner of my eye saw some bobbing action going on. i guess doing obscene things in public with the chance of being caught turns them on and they thought no one would notice, but i did, so i got to watch another show for free. sweet.

[!Zar!]

That's reason enough to see it.

It isn't hype that people are giving it I feel.

It's just that people don't know how to explain a good movie without over hyping it.

[tommyboi]

I think Wikus the main character blows, just listening to how he talks and acts was annoying. The movie wasn't all that good like everybody that I knew said it was. I think it was stupid but in a way much like everyday life, like back in the slave days. Oh yeah, I hate this movie because of the fact that it was like a documentry type movie, reminds me of clover field without the horrible camera shaking. But it was also good because right when I get annoyed something good happens but Wikus was just pissing me off.

[FaLKoN240]

The main character is supposed to be believable and I think he shows what happens and how far people can go when pushed back into a wall, he's another character that represents man vs society.

[FRpilot]

I find it hilarious how the film takes place in South Africa, with the locales being almost bigot-like.

i think all different places of the world have people who are bigot-like. i'm sure, a lot of US citizens have a lot of pride in this country and hate outsiders too. you got to places like japan and i'm sure they hate outsiders. when i was in taiwan, i didn't speak taiwanese or mandarin; i went inside a store with an older couple owners and they greeted me, but when i spoke to them in my limited cantonese the guy yelled at me and told me to get the fuck out of there. apparently, one of my taiwanese acquintences told me that taiwanese have a lot of pride in their country and hate outsiders who they believe is going to influence their culture. there's already a rift among true taiwanese born on the islands, and those who are taiwanese but born somewhere else.

anyways, i would be pissed off if i was a south african and we had to house district 9 with a bunch of aliens running around rampant and doing whatever the fuck they want to our city w/o regard to our human laws.



That movie will get your girl in the mood!



i guess, if shrimp-like creatures can get a girl in the mood, a lot of guys would be bringing girls to watch this movie or pirates of the caribean to see that sea captain and johnny depp.

but i would bet that a jonas brothers concert has a higher probability of success and automatic.

[jimmytango00]

The main character is supposed to be believable and I think he shows what happens and how far people can go when pushed back into a wall, he's another character that represents man vs society.

kinda like Joaquin Phoenix...


the guy who played the main character has never acted before, i believe this was his first movie and first time acting from what i've heard.

[FRpilot]

SHIT WAS HARDCORE.

any time a mech shows up in anything, it's going to kick ass.


i was thinking the same thing while watching the movie and thought about the mech warriors games. then i realized that tony stark's iron man suits are probably the best type of battle armor (heavily armored with wide array of weaponry but best of all light and mobile, unlike those bulky and clumsy armors like in this movie)


I was also wondering, when the nigerian kingpin warlord was eating the "prawns" if that shit taste like a delicious lobster.

and don't those alien guns remind you of the #6 or #7 gun in the original half life?

man, my mind wanders and thinks about a lot of things. LOL

[!Zar!]

No, THIS vvvvvvv is reason enough to go see it.
That movie will get your girl in the mood!

Would you've really wanted to be around Joe getting bossed up?

kinda like Joaquin Phoenix...


the guy who played the main character has never acted before, i believe this was his first movie and first time acting from what i've heard.

Eh, I didn't see anything wrong with the dude and his acting.

But a mech and battle armor are two different things.

What if iron man got into a gundam or something?

Or better yet, got into a bigger iron man.

Iron robo?

[FRpilot]

you're right. battle armor and mech is different.

if iron man got into a mech, after the mech is destroyed, you'd have to deal with the iron man armor. pretty good backup.

[zenki.life]

i loved the movie. any you know those little signs they post around the theater.......well i may have stolen one........

edit. the iron man in a mech made me laugh. its like when a guy pulls off his mask only to reveal another mask. lol.

[FRpilot]

talk about frustrating video game boss. like metal gear rex

[exitspeed]

Saw it last night with the wife. She HATED it. She said the main character reminded her of Borat just like Mike (ixfxi) said.

Me personally, I didn't like his character. He seemed a little too quirky and slapstick for the situation. I just felt like i couldn't take him seriously though entire time. If he could have just been serious the movie would have been totally different for me.

Over-all I love the premise and I liked (not loved) the execution. I think it's one of these movies you have to watch a couple times to fully appreciate. What sucks though is my wife hated it so much I probably won't get a chance to watch it again unless I watch it on my own.

I would give it 3.5 out of 5 starts.

[ixfxi]

this movie sure has gotten a lot of attention, everyone i spoke with this weekend was upset that i had already seen the movie... sure is a lot of hype surrounding this movie!

to be honest, i know its comparing apples and oranges.. but if we compare transformers, batman, district 9, any of these teenager action movies.. my personal favorite in terms of plot and design has been Iron Man.. and I'm curious to see what the new one will be like.

the character in district 9 was good, i didnt mind him being a dork... its just the perspective they decided to give him. its like complaining that clark kent is a tard in real life.. its just the way it is.

on friend said he wants to see the movie because it reminds him of "V" the tv series they used to play in the 80s. i saw similarities, but it was different and original in its own way of course.

i wonder how soon the sequel will be released... district 9.2

haha

[exitspeed]

Iron Man is my favorite also. I know everyone things Dark Knight is tey bezt evar. But I disagree.

Looking forward to Iron Man 2 and Distract 10.

Agreed 100%. And had the exact same experience myself with the wifey.

[FaLKoN240]

Would you've really wanted to be around Joe getting bossed up?

...obviously not, but that's besides the point.

I'm all for women who choose to objectify themselves in front of random people THEY don't know.

But a mech and battle armor are two different things.

Or better yet, got into a bigger iron man.

Iron robo?

They probably have some cartoon like that in Japan already, kinda like how in JDM land Spider man has a giant robo.

I didn't bring the girlfriend along for this trip, and from the sounds of it I was better off.

[K_style]

watched last friday...

awesome movie... totally different than any other alien movies...

wish it had better ending...

thought that guy is ganna come back in 3 years to fix him...

[DreamN]

I enjoyed. Though for the first 15 min. or so I felt like I was watching a weird episode of The Office. Definitely liked the story and the ending left me wanting for the movie to be longer. Probably going to watch it again to see if I catch things I didn't the first time.

[fromxtor]

^^I feel bad for you Meh and Mel, my wife liked the movie. I take it alot of the people posting in this thread have never been around anyone from africa, most of the South Africans I've met are quirky and excentric like that guy in the movie. I'm glad they decided to at least write the script in english (although broken), it would have been a bitch if it were all in Afrikaans.

[ayuaddict]

saw it with Yarou yesterday (with our respective girlfriends! haha no homo).

i thought it was great he thought it was great, im not sure if the females got it.

im gonna say its up there with Cloverfield.

the main character was a bit of a bitch but it worked i suppose.

[FRpilot]

im gonna say its up there with Cloverfield.

if it was anything like cloverfield with the camera shaking and shit for the entire movie, i would have got up and left. (yes, i'm one of those pussies who got motion sickness and felt like puking the entire movie)

wish it had better ending...

thought that guy is ganna come back in 3 years to fix him...

ending was how it should be. left it open for a sequel and that guy turned into a total prawn.

"christopher" will be back. he seems like a humble dude and true to his words. he also seemed pretty distraught when he saw his fellow prawn be dissected for medical experiments, so when he said "i'm going to go home and bring help" who knows if that's to bring mass armies to kill us humans or just to get all his remaining peoples back home. i'm thinking the latter, but he could want revenge for us treating his peoples like that.

i seriously thought, at the end when the huge ship started to move, that it was going to blow the fuck out of the planet.

no offence but would that seriously make sense.......no

Good movie, 8 out of 10, could've improved in a couple of areas.

[YoungGun]

I liked it.

I wanna paint MNU on the side of my truck.

[nothix]

I loved it, my friends didn't like it nearly as much as me, and one thought it was stupid.

what i do not understand is how spaceship fuel can mutate a human.

[!Zar!]

The same reason why you can't catch swine flu from a swine.

[palmdale_mob]

I really liked the movie, wasn't what I expected at all

The only part that I didn't really get is why didn't the alien just get beam himself up a long time ago?

it took them 20 years to get enough fuel to run that ship under his shack.

i'm kind of slow.. why's that? because you don't pass swine flu by eating pigs, it's a virus spread through human's handling pigs through contact/air-borne?

guy turned into a prawn because he was interacting with too many aliens? he didn't eat them.

am i over analyzing here?

[palmdale_mob]

Yeah but, he didn't fly to the ship, he just messaged it to come beam him up

Idk maybe he needed the fuel to use the electronics on the ship as well

Pastey white dude flew it at first and fucked it up. Yeah the fuel in the smaller ship must have something to do with the electronics with the mothership as well. I cant wait to go see this movie agian and pick up on some things I didnt notice.

Am I going to have to watch the movie to understand this?

edit: just realized it was you jordan. fucker.

[karl wasabi]

Just got back from watching this movie. It was simply amazing. I didn't think it would be that good, and I really didn't know what it was about prior to watching it. Soo much action! It kind of has that Cloverfield feel to it. A couple times during the movie I would yell, "HOLLY SHIT" or "FUCK" and then the characters would say the same. haha.

[SimpleS14]

I wanted to see the movie before reading the post, just in case I read a spoiler. :keke: Overall it was a good movie, and I'm pretty sure there will be a sequel. Once I heard "concentration camp" , "war" , "three years" and read "District 10"....I pretty much figure out the bits of a sequel brewing.

The vaporizing humans was crazy and I wouldn't mind one of those MNU pickups. :keke:

Also for some reason I thought the MNU organization was badass.

I would have to watch it again to caught the underlying messages.

movie kick ass for myself.
i did liked it. i just didnt like the main character.
story was good. it shows nature of humans being selfish when they are in trouble.
but other than that im hoping theres a part 2.

I agree about the main character (Wikus) he was just too damn annoying and the moments he got selfish urked me.


Aside from the part where the dude breaks back into MNU and his password still works, it was a pretty good storyline.

Yea, you would think a facility like that would terminate his access once they locked him up. I also didn't get how the biometric scanner worked with a bandage over his finger.

I was also wondering, when the nigerian kingpin warlord was eating the "prawns" if that shit taste like a delicious lobster.

LOL He was definitely grubbing on that limb like it was his last meal

what i do not understand is how spaceship fuel can mutate a human.

The alien technology only works with the alien DNA. The fluid is a concentration of the DNA and fused with that of Wikus (especially in his open wounds). This is just my speculation.

Am I going to have to watch the movie to understand this?

edit: just realized it was you jordan. fucker.

Yes, you're going to have to watch the movie to get the part about cat food.

[240sxxs]

what is it about..not like spoiler but give me a hint...human vs stupid alien ? or !!

[SimpleS14]

What are you referring to? The movie or cat food ?

[fliprayzin240sx]

I saw it and I think you guys overhyped it too much. It was good, but it wasnt great in my opinion. It's different thats for sure, maybe thats the reason why its so hyped up.

[SexPanda]

fuck damnit I gotta see this.

[4DOOR_LIFE]
