Still debating on whether or not to blind buy District 9.

last blind buy sci fi movie for me was Sunshine and i actually liked that one. But im usually not a fan on sci fi... i think ill take my chances with District 9.

i didnt go see the movie in the theater, wanted to know if its worth a buy? and if it is what can you compare this movie to?

mywhitenoise · 12-21-2009, 10:51 PM

I saw a pirated copy, didn't have the alien subtitles though.
It's pretty decent, I want to watch it again...but not sure if it's buy worthy.

I saw it in the theater but had I blind bought it, I would have been more than thrilled.

dcowboy7 · 12-21-2009, 10:55 PM

No.

Pauliesr · 12-21-2009, 11:00 PM

I plan to pick it up. Don't know anything more than the original theater trailer.

DetroitSportsFan · 12-21-2009, 11:08 PM

Yes.

GoYanks · 12-21-2009, 11:11 PM

Definitely worth a blind buy unless you're south african. Then, you might not like it. Out of everyone I know who saw it, the only ones that didn't were South African... apartide, etc.

JimShaw · 12-21-2009, 11:13 PM

?

I'll know tomorrow after I purchase if from Target and watch it to see if it was worth a blind buy.

Having the same producer and director as the proposed Halo movie doesn't make it "the start of being a Halo movie".

It was inspired by Blomkamp's short film, "Alive in Joburg".

The best movie of the year. Definitely worth a blind buy.

SteelPen · 12-22-2009, 12:24 AM

I'm sooooo buying this tomorrow morning at my local WalMart using giftcards!

JJ · 12-22-2009, 12:25 AM

I'll be getting it first thing in the morning, bar none.

Totally worth a blind-buy if you love science fiction.

Propellarhead9 · 12-22-2009, 12:28 AM

I'm picking it up tonight at midnight

OpFeRmEtZgER · 12-22-2009, 12:42 AM
