I'm really unsure what to think of this movie. I'm going to see it regardless, but do you think it will be closer to District 9 or Elysium in terms of quality?

I'm optimistic because it has legitimate themes, our relationship with technology (I know, been done a million times before) and the singularity. It's already off to a better start than Elysium (rich people are evil hurrrr).

Id have to read a lot about it not being another District 9. While I didn't hate D9...I didn't enjoy it either.

Blomkamp. No thanks. That pretentious count should stop making movies.

I think it looks awesome. I loved District 9, and I'm very excited for this movie.

I think it looks good, and Blomkamp is a talented filmmaker.

I honestly don't know how a room full of people could have said that they loved the name. Who made that call?

I think it looks like District 9. Should be on Netflix in a couple months.

Marketing is killing this movie. They have completely different ads for the same movie that are 100 percent different

The ones on TV make it look like a transformers ripoff. And I think that's quite the opposite from what they were going for

Completely agree. The movie theater trailer was very touching. The commercial is godawful.

The ad I saw looked like a mix of A.I. & I Robot cast with a leftover droid from Elysium. Not that I won't watch it, I just wish he would've maybe skipped these last couple and made a sequel to 9.

Blompkamp is a very talented filmmaker but he definitely does lack subtlety with his social commentary.

As a big fan of District 9 it has my attention. I think I'll probably see it in the theater unless it gets horrible reviews.
