Early District 9 Reviews

Saw the first trailer, and thought "Awesome!"

Saw the second trailer, complete with alien robot suit, and thought "Hmm."

Still looking forward to it, but I'm getting a bit of a Hancock vibe off of it, in that it looks to be two different movies in one. Children of Men meets the Hulk.

Yeah. I'm a little skeptical as well. Loved the Solaris music in the early trailer and the gradual building of tension, but the second one gave off a Transformers vibe. Still, I'm very excited to see it and hope it will be good!
 
I dismissed the movie after seeing the crappy trailers, but I'm getting interested now. I might have to check this movie out.
 
I'm glad they ditched the cheesy "report an alien" commercials they were playing early on that made the movie look like a summer fluff movie.
 
I wonder what the RT meter will read when the movie is officially out. My guess is somewhere between 85 and 90 percent.
 
The trailers intrigued me and not the advance reviews are getting me excited about this film.

Only two more weeks to go.
 
RT has 10 reviews and it's still at 100%, if that trend continues it could be the highest ranked sci-fi of the summer.
 
Was it a positive review? Rotten Tomatoes hasn't updated its review aggregator since 10 and that's been frustrating because there's no consensus yet.
 
That means nothing though. They're pulling a G.I. Joe and only screening it to Sci-Fi friendly places.

To me it looks like Children of Men meets Cloverfield

The documentary part with interviews of people not wanting the aliens to stay intrigue me and the giant mecha :D

Did anyone see the short film this movie is based on?

Saw it last week, its awesome and everyone should go see it.

Full review is up at http://www.scifi4me.com. Austin's sceenin' last week was an AICN event, so the director & star had a post-film Q & A, which I included with my review.
 
RT has 13 reviews and it's still at 100%, so we'll see how it goes. I'm personally concerned about the alleged 80% of the film being told in documentary format though. I don't want another stupid movie like Cloverfield.
