Lucas C @RackDacks Apr 27 Incredibly disappointing coming from District 9, its messaging is so over the top and 1:1 and extreme that it's hard to take it seriously. I think the perfect example of this is that one rich evil guy (shocker) worrying about the sheets or whatever rather than the radiation leak or the health of his workers. I mean like. What? WE GET IT, he's evil and rich, but it's like a 10 year old's idea of what an evil and rich guy would be worried about rather than whether or not production would be stopped. Magic healing beds that only the rich have, guess what they represent?

I can see some flaws in the movie; there's some cliche, some fillers to add time, the character development is not that advanced, but... It's not a movie below 65%, i can't figure out why people "hated" this movie so much, acting like there's no other "slop" and consumerism movies to hate. It's a great movie, it has art, culture, critic, and the most important of all: a message. Maybe it was just misunderstood? If they focused more on realism and less in action, it would be a fine piece of art, just like blade runner (1982).

It presents a striking future setting that feels both imaginative and grounded, exploring inequality in a way that still feels timely and thought-provoking. The visual design is a major highlight, with detailed environments and effective use of contrast between different worlds. The action scenes are well-executed and intense without feeling overwhelming, and they help drive the story forward in an engaging way. While some elements of the story feel familiar within the genre, the film still manages to deliver a compelling experience with strong pacing and atmosphere. It’s a movie that works well both as entertainment and as a commentary-driven sci-fi piece. Overall, a very good watch for fans of the genre. I rate it a 7/10.

From the language to the gore to the shaky cam, it was all just a little too much for the story it was trying to tell. The music and visuals were great, however, so it definitely isn't all bad. I loved Damon's performance, he really sold the part.
