9/10 the only thing that didn't make it a perfect 10 was some poor production choices (they grabbed that stupid generic Persian music straight from a samples CD, didn't they).
It was a very disturbing and beautifully-shot movie. Everyone should see it.

Great movie. Only dissapointment was how halfway through it seemed to go from a series of loosely connected events to an alien/human buddy movie. I would have liked it more if they had continued without focusing on a couple characters.
Otherwise it was v/good. One of the best films this year. Probably the best sci-fi I have seen in a long time.

watched the first half last night was a bit disappointed with the acting and the saffas accent is fairly annoying, the dialog is o.k though just not delivered that well.
i also felt its a bit isolated to just Johannesburg, (i know thats the point) but you never really find out how the rest of the world is observing these aliens.
i may change my mind after watching the second half and maybe my reviews premature but thats the way i do it.
watch the short Alive in Joburg first, as i did, cos it'll prepare you for the style and pace of the first half.
to be continued

"watched the first half last night"
strange way to watch a film, your cinema showing it in two parts or something.

This movie wouldve been better if everyone wasnt talking in that goofy ass south african accent.
They should have made them talk in a proper american accent.

last night i watched the whole movie from the beginning to the end.
i think its quite decent. Blomkamp has created quite a realistic alternative alien movie that delivers in effects and has quite an emotional underlying story line.
the second half of the film is easier to watch for fans of hollywood style movies
i like the inclusion of the term "fucking prawns" its seems the filmakers were almost taking the piss out of their very design of the aliens.
its also quite rough and brutal, especially when christopher steps into the suit.
if i was 18 i'd love it but i'm not, so i just like it. i 'm giving it 3.5 burgers out of 5 with a side order of cat food.

pretty retarded movie, but entertaining I guess.
it's catering to the demographic though. If you want to see just one more explosion rather than a line of dialogue explaining how the fuck they got all these guns and mech suits down to the surface in the first place you'll prolly love it. I also didnt care about the protagonist or anything that happend to him.
It could have been worse though.

I was thinking the same thing. I also would have liked an explanation as to why the aliens and humans can understand each other. It would have been nice if either the main character spoke the alien language verbally, or if the main alien spoke English verbally, rather than this unspoken auto-translation where everyone mysteriously knows what the other is saying. It's like Han talking to Chewie, except I don't take star wars as seriously as I believe this film was meant to be taken. I'm really not a fan of these "documentary" films such as cloverfield, et al, that replace substance with "eye witness footage," something that no one should be excited about because it isn't real . Also, the MNU troops were expert shots (helicopter snipers) until it's inconvenient for the protagonist, in which case they become bumbling mall-cop rejects who can't shoot the ground they're standing on. When are filmmakers going to stop doing sloppy shit like that and give us a film that makes sense from start to finish?

Only shitty storytelling will go so far as to walk the audience through every detail of the setting and characters.

That's stupid. How can you compare such different films? Realistically, you can't say that one film is better than other. It is subjective, cos it's based on the emotions evoked in the invidividual. based on their personality and life experiences.
No?
