District 9

[OccamsTazer]

Don't see it. I love fantasy and sci fi, and I almost walked out. Two hours (or was it years) of the deepest most hearbreaking sort of cruelty, for nothing.
I like to think that if aliens visited, it would be in the "Live long, and prosper" sort of tone.
Not another holocaust condoned by all of humanity.
Ugh.

I haven't seen it yet, but it's a bit of an obvious Apartheid allegory, so I won't go in expecting sunshine and butterflies.

And with the way the world is, I somehow doubt we'd greet visitors with such kindness.

I don't mind dark movies if the darkness has a purpose, but the plot was like swiss cheese.
