So today Stephan and I decided to go see District 9. We were going to see it Friday night but I figured that it would just be too crowded. I still wanted to see what people thought about it so I checked Twitter and sure enough it was a trending topic. Everyone was raving about it saying that it was amazing and it was a must see. I regretted not fighting the mob to get a seat after reading it all. But all worked out in the end when I saw the 2:50 showing at Regal on Medlock. We were there 30 minutes early and were forced to watch the Regal First Look. That pretty much consisted of 25 minutes of ads along with a funny Jay Leno commercial and the 2012 trailer (which looked pretty amazing). Then the previews started and I saw a few pretty nice looking movies that I wanted to see.
Onto the review of District 9… I’ll start out by saying that the movie was an amazing 10/10. Aside from the motion sickness brought on by the constantly moving camera, I very much enjoyed the movie. Peter Jackson was definitely the right person to direct the movie. The beginning of the movie had me a little bored and waiting for the action but it really helped pull the story together. I can’t say much without giving the whole movie away so to sum it up, this movie is amazing. It’s just one of those movies that you have to see.
