I thought it was an AWESOME movie...to each his own I guess

And I disagree with OMEGA, it makes a lot of valid points to critisize society...you know it's not really about aliens, but about the act of "alienation" and how society alienates people who are different....it's got a good msg and it's a good movie...the best thing about it is that the actors are not known...

You must spreak K around before giving to traz again.

I agree completely it was a fantastic look at what would actually happen in that situation. It's also sad to think that some of the most oppressed people in history would assume the role of the oppressor so easily.

"It is the fate of the oppressed to become the oppressors"

the movie got mixed reviews...some people loved it, some people hated it. i haven't seen it but it's blatantly obvious that the portrayal in the trailers seemed to be one of alot more action etc than it was a serious, drawn out film.

i think most people were expecting to see non stop alien fighting and robot mechs except in escape from LA/NY style

First half of the movie was like watching mollasses drip off a table. As soon as the shooting started though the movie did the greatest 180 in the history of cinema. The best acting in the movie was actually Mr. Chris, or whatever the alien's name was. But the other dude didn't "too bad", especially once the movie picked up. I'm sorry, anyone that doesn't appreciate the sight of a room full of african warlord thugs getting tornado cannon'ed out the house along with the house itself just doesn't appreciate cinema. The alien weaponry in this movie is sublime. How anyone couldn't be impressed once the humans' started getting their shit ruined, especially the metal suit.....jesus christ, I was peeing myself for like 50 minutes straight. Total cacklefest going on in the back corner of the theater..

the "social commentary" was there but minimal at best. So while I can see you APPRECIATED THOSE THINGS YOU POINTED OUT, it was not done so in any depth in my opinion.

Also About the aliens;
I found it to be incredibly stupid that a race as advanced as ones being able to travel faster then light, could be content with eating cat food, and living in the ghetto and not rebelling sooner.....

district 9 was one of the best films of the year. Fact.

Inglourious basterds is probably my favorite though.

The aliens were a slave caste and not the dominate specie on the original ship. Hence the reason most of them weren't able to figure out the technology. It would be like giving an African bushman a laptop and expecting him to figure it out. Also since they were a slave caste why would they rebel when they were no longer forced to work? Remember when they first cut into the ship and all of them were just huddled in that room with little to no food? So being allowed out and being fed for free would almost be like total freedom even though they were quarantined. Also if you understand the social atmosphere of South Africa the commentary was brilliantly put forth in an understated manner.

See Scot's response.

The prawns operated on sort of a hive mentality like bees or other insects. Once their leader was killed, they wander around aimlessly until a new leader (Christopher Johnson) from the pack emerges. As with any other insect species, that takes time.
