District 9

28Aug09

I am not really a fan of science fiction/mythology/fantasy. I rarely like watching movies/tv shows that are dated in the age of “Merlin” where the townsfolk meet up with the wise old wizard to fight the invading trolls in their village. Or where the setting of the film is in some random planet where aliens abide in.
Stuff like that isn’t very appealing to me, so i normally pass up on things like that in all media form (books, movies, etc.)

HOWEVER,
a week or two ago i watched: District 9 because of the positive views it got from all of my friends who did watch it, and i had to say that the preview of the film was slightly more interesting than others.

even after watching the commercial for that movie, i still wasn’t too sure what that movie was about, and even though it had aliens in it, as long as it wasnt one of those “aliens vs. humans, where mankind “saves” the world again from them” type of films, i figured that i would be okay with it.

boy did i make a good decision (woot!).

i think this is a type of film that i wouldnt really watch over again because i am not very good at handling blood, and it had some pretty intense drama moments that left my heart feeling quite heavy after i left the theater.

i guess i could go more in depth of why i enjoyed this film so much, but id rather not because i would for sure just spoil everything.
