District 9

Saw it last night, really enjoyed it, my friend thought it was weird, but then she tends to find stuff like that weird

Few gory bits as previously mentioned, only went eeeeew! at one or two of them though, good film, I dont feel like I want 2 hours of my life back, two things that bugged me though.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!


Every time Wilkus said f**k (and he said it A LOT) his accent suddenly changed from a South African one, to what sounded like either Irish or Scottish, and it did begin to grate.


End Spoiler Alert!

Why when the alien got back on the ship and powered it up, didnt he take all the others with him? Or was that setting it up for a sequel?


End Spoiler Alert!

On the whole, a good film 8/10

District 9


Quote:
In 1990, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends.
9/10
A very good film. It's a very nice twist on an alien film. However lots of exploding bodies and guts despite not being all out war. Only thing that let it down slightly was the end, I wanted a proper conclusion.

Well worth watching though.

Edit - where did you watch it knip?

I think they left the ending as they did ready for a sequel.

Thing is

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!



The "Christopher" prawn said he would be back in 3 years, so he can fix him, and then by the end he had completely transformed into a prawn, so I guess the sequel will be him coming back to get the others, turn blokey back


End Spoiler Alert!

Thats how I saw it anyway.

Meltdown: Days of Destruction


An asteroid flies a little too close to the Earth and knocks it out of its orbit, leading to rising global temperatures. LAPD cop Tom Bracket (Casper Van Dien) recruits a team of scientists to try to prevent the planet's demise, but is there enough time left to save it from obliteration?

5/10
Again another doomsday film that you would expect to find on sci-fi (but actually free on lovefilm online beta As part of subscription). it by no means brilliant and is a low budget straight to tv/dvd. But a reasonably good time waster all the same. Helped along by Amanda Crew who is pure sexiness.

that is actually the south african way to pronounce it, or at least the half dozen South Africans I've worked with previously all said it that way. Admittedly not as often as him though.

Sequel I believe. Plenty of room for it, especially with the prawns having been moved to District 10, the concentration camps.

End Spoiler Alert!

Days Of Darkness Details 2008


2 Billion Zombies. 11 Humans. Get Ready To Rumble.

5/10
like all zombie movies it's low budget and it has a twist unlike most.
I's somewhere between a zombie movie cross bread with The Facalty.
Again resonably good time waster.

She's not too bad. Forgot to mention above though it was kind of weird too. They gave her a skimpy little mini skirt and she's clearly more child than woman if that makes any sense.
