I’m looking forward to “D 10″ too. Hope they get some extra budget and increase the scale of the movie.

The aliens will return to earth and I would love to see some effort put into showing their true strength. It seems as though the aliens in D9 were slaves or “worker bees”?

I watched District 9 yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised! For the first 20 minutes or so you might think “What. The. F#*%” But after you get used to the SA accents and the story begins to develop it gets really intense!

They perhaps go a little overboard by saying “hey” and f0k” a lot. Why do they always make ‘South Africans’ say “hey” so much anyway? Hey? Like Leo D in Blood Diamond…

Anyway, it’s very well made for such a low budget film – definitely worth a watch. Don’t wait for it to come out on DVD, go watch the film on the big screen and show your support!

PS: I understand that Peter Jackson was going to make a Halo movie instead of District 9 but didn’t have the budget to do so. Thank goodness for that!

I look forward to the inevitable District 10
