Very good film. Some of the action scenes had Peter Jackson written all over them. So similar to his early splatter horror/comedies.

I had seen it before, but on my laptop so I wanted to see it as it should be seen.

Saw it tonight and there ARE english subs for the alien parts so no worries there. Just cross your fingers for inglorious basterds.

Saw it yesterday. It was awesome. I have to admit it probably won't appeal to everybody. It is somewhat original in comparison to all the garbage Hollywood usually churns out. There's plenty of action (Blomkamp is a superb action director), the special affects are pretty damn good considering the budget, and the acting it surprisingly good. Apparently the main character isn't even a professional actor. The documentary/news style is also refreshing.

I actually went in thinking it would be a more of a drama that focused on the social issues presented by having aliens on earth but they didn't really get deep into that aspect. In that aspect I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for a deeper movie. The movie is also quite bloody. I didn't mind it but at times I thought it went overboard.

I had really high expectations of it before I went to go see it. I went yesterday and walked out of it after about 50 minutes. The hand held camerawork in combination with the realistic gore made me almost ill. I've never had a problem with graphic content in a movie before, either. A few people just before me walked out as well.

I'd like to download it when it gets released so I can finish watching it.

The movie was very good (not exactly Citizen Kane or anything) but anyone who thinks it was bad, or even forgettable, is a moron.

My gf and I didnt like it. The first 40-50 mins was boring I was like wtf? I guess it got kind of cool towards the end but not worth buying tickets IMO. Download it !!!

True enough, I was a bit distracted by the bumpy, over-obvious camera work at the beginning. I guess it was to emphasize the contrast with the documentary-style interviews, but it was certainly verging on over-done for me too, although I never felt ill.

As for the realistic gore, yeah, that's just Peter Jackson's style. Got to say, as someone who prefers to eat vegetarian food, I thought it was highly hilarious and I really enjoyed the raw meat and cat-food scenes, especially coming as they did interspersed between the splatter-gun shots. Hope all you carnivores also enjoyed the irony!
