I think they'll also be addressing his story line in District 10.

[Show spoiler]His wife said she found an object (flower?) on the porch, earlier in the movie she says he likes to make things for her and she accidentally sat on the bowl he made. Then the scene cuts to a prawn making the flower for her. I took it to mean that prawn was Wikus and Christopher will be back in 3 years to reverse the transformation (presumably in the sequel, District 10).

I know, right? In no way, shape, or form does District 9 resemble any Men In Black movie.

a few people i know who saw it actually agreed and said the prawns look like the aliens from MIB (THE LITTLE DUDES IN THE COFFEE BREAK ROOM SMOKING CIGS).. and they do, you can't disagree there; like the movie or not

yea it was explained through interviews; sorta they talked about them being here like 20 years later, what about the first 19 years?.. i wish they had a full half hour of the prawns getting to earth then like a 20 year later blah blah blah....

They also resembled "Brundle Fly" from The Fly.... so? Blomkamp wanted the aliens to be insect-like. That's what he got.

[Monoblock]

How does the resemblence of two fictional aliens from two different movies make one like the other? I mean MIB really?

thats all good, you should have stated that early then writing " yea it has aliens, its just like MIB"... glad to see you agree with me, all i was saying was they look just like the aliens from MIB.. there are a lot of fictional alien movies(kinda werid to write fictional considering there really is no proof for nonfictional aliens-MONOBLOCK), and they all look very different, except D9, they look like MIB coffee aliens

You just compared two movies that obviously have way more differences than similarities.

yea they look very similar, again read what i wrote.. add a little face stuff and yea.. they both have the arms coming out the middle of there stomachs. both have the same lankey bodies, D9 aliens are taller and more jack, but they do look the same

If the legs of the MIB guys were in the pic, you could see better, they have legs like prawns. I hate to admit but this guy is totally right, I just never noticed it. I love the movie though. I thought it was a great commentary on prejudice in society and human nature, and for the relatively low budget had great special effects. You can see the Blu in my collection

[DefTechPioElite]

and yeah, he's not comparing the movies, just the prawns and coffee aliens give him a break this is teh intranetz

[Fighter]

One of the best films that I've seen in the last couple years.

Must have for a science fiction fan

I edited my post to avoid an argument but I guess you quoted me anyway . I don't think they look similar enough to call it out personally. Sounds like you just didn't like the movie and are reaching for things to complain about. I have no issues if you just didn't like the flick .. not everyone I went with liked it either.
