Loved it, saw it alongside Moon.

After the travesties of recent Terminators etc. it was good to see decent Sci-Fi with plot as well as effects.

Absolute quality!! We're having it as the main feature on our weekly fillum night this Friday. I think it'll stand up to repeated viewings 🙂

Pretty good although I struggled to get past the fact the prawns didn't just use their weapons and annihilate mankind...

Fancy setting a SA made film in SA. Doesn't the fact that it wasn't a Hollywood film hint that it is going to take a slewed view of the sci-fi/action film. 9/10 IMHO.

Got in Tesco's for fiver too. Loved it, strangely enough so did my wife - she is usually a little cool towards sci fi. Non Hollywood background helped though.

Sequel.... yes, bring it on, as long as it doesn't deteriorate into a franchise like Aliens, Terminator, Predator etc

(Ive got loads of those points things so dont pay in Blockbusters)

I got it from blockbusters a few months back. I'd expect them to have it.

We watched District 9 a couple of months ago and thought it was great.

Mrs B ordered [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_13 ]District 12[/url] from lovefilm prior to that and we couldn't work out what all the fuss was about. 12 was ok but 9 was much, much better.

What a mistaker to maker.

I'm obviously the odd one out & missing something. My son gave me it & didn't want it back. I turned it off after about 45 minutes! It's now in the car boot sale pile.
