You don't have to go early and it's no comparison to Star Wars type of line ups. But it could be the difference between watching in really comfortable seats, or watching from the extreme sides, extreme bottom seats or even the stairs.

Although, since the 1st weekend has passed, this may not be as true anymore but that's your gamble.

good movie the first time around but when you chew on it a bit with your head it starts to not make much logical sense. 8/10 first impression 6/10 after taste.

GOOD MOVIE!!! hated it though, the damn shakey camera made me sick! i watched 1/3 of the movie with my eyes closed!

What ruined the movie for me was some fat fuck in the upper row had the WORSE B.O. EVER!!! It was like worked out with a parka on, then rubbed his body with the buttered popcorn from concession! OMG, i had to turn to my right side just to breathe! it was sooo nasty, and the damn a/c was blowing from that direction too!

What doesn't make logical sense in this movie as this has been a topic that has been discussed extensively on various internet forums. Make sure to use spoiler tags btw

mm there's threads that pop up from time to time about d9 on /tv/ at 4chan.org.

io9.com has a few blog posts with some discussions, and imdb.com and to a lesser extent rottentomatoes.com.


an example of some threads:


I personally feel that what people identify as 'plotholes' in this movie either weren't listening when people were talking or didn't read between the lines using the other information provided by the movie.

nice movie overall... like it

the camera in Cloverfield was shit. in D9, this camera moves with the environment and movement. it makes it seem like you are really there. Cloverfield swung the camera around and made people dizzy.

Cool

I was starting to feel a little nauseas and had to close my eyes for 30 seconds every 5minutes... but then I get seasick very easily as well ... so I guess this movie really wasn't for me. The movie is pretty interesting and I would have enjoyed it more if it had less camera shaking ... it didn't help that the theatre was really stuffy too like no A/C or something ...

it was a good movie, a really good movie.

some of you guys don't really get it, you guys are focusing on such minute plot "holes" and whatever. the movie isn't about aliens and alien technology. it's about humans.

just watched it. personally i don't think it was that great, the intro was too long. but overall it was ok. the story line was pretty good.
something new though! so that was refreshing.

I really enjoyed it! It was a deep meaningful movie. I loved how it progressed and i loved the message it delivered. Government Intervention is never great!

I was pretty disappointed because I had heard a lot of great things about this movie. Well I just watched it and I thought that it sucked balls. I get that there are underlying themes and a message but just as a movie, I found it really boring for the most part.

its a good movie because just looking back at our own history, and how we actually treat races that are "in our way" or "on our land".

if u were expecting startrek, or even starwars, then this movie isnt for you. movie reflects pretty well with current events.

No no. It's a good movie. Just because some people don't get it doesn't mean it's a terrible movie.

Plus, to a small margin, it's just not their preference. I personally like the dirty grimy feel of the movie. From the moc-documentary intro to the character traits, to the Johannesberg slum setting. Nothing was sugarcoated for audience.

Last time I felt this beautifully queasy was Black Hawk Down.

theirfore, the act of segregating humans from aliens is pretty much an analogy of what they did to the blacks and non whites
never thought of it like that, sounds interesting.

Will see it for sure, my buddies tell me it's worth watching
