looks awesome!

zedzero on Jul 8, 2009

awesome trailer..

2 things:
hopefully they show how they can communicate to the aliens

and watchin the trailer again, they should have cut down on the fade in/out shots

Rigo on Jul 8, 2009

6

Still looks really really awesome but I really liked the feel of the teaser. Now it looks way more sci-fi action filmish; I really liked the documentary feel from the original teaser trailer.

Steven on Jul 8, 2009

7

Now that's a film I can get behind. Hit me a lot harder than the teaser.

Brandon Lee Tenney on Jul 8, 2009

Wow. Teaser was better though.

Farris on Jul 8, 2009

pretty exciting! Acting looks great.

cyn on Jul 8, 2009

10

All right, that looks great. The teaser wasn't so hot, but this looks very, very cool. Really like the genre mix - scifi/action/documentary. I'll be there opening night.

el duderino on Jul 8, 2009

11

This shit looks insane. Can't wait for this film.

David from MovieViral on Jul 8, 2009

12

Damn! This does look good. I also thought the teaser was intriguing and I like the serious tone! I'm there!

Spider on Jul 8, 2009

Black Hawk Down in alien slums…hoo-ah sir!!!

grumpler on Jul 8, 2009

not that amazing to be honest

PinkSushi on Jul 8, 2009

15

It's GreaaaaaaaTTTT!!!!

Tommy Villarreal on Jul 8, 2009

16

Holy sh*t that was awesome and not only will we be getting a gritty sci-fi film, but a potentially kickass action sci-fi film. That mech suit was really badass, but I wonder if there is som kind of new trend in Hollywood with these things since James Cameron's new flick Avatar also has mech suits. Are they making a comback ?

wrongturn687 on Jul 8, 2009

17

kewl.

Oblong on Jul 8, 2009

18

I'm speechless, that was amazing

Bo on Jul 8, 2009

19

just wondering- is weta doing the effects? because nobody else could make such awesome freaking effects for a lowish budget yet epic scifi flick

mcgruff on Jul 8, 2009

20

Big robots and Mechs are in in hollywood tbh.
(Transformers, Terminator, Avatar, this, probably atleast three more)

Damn nice trailer, seems like a really good movie that's well worth watching.

Felix on Jul 8, 2009

I'll pay ten dollars

Cold Cut Combo on Jul 8, 2009

22

i dont get the story

jhon on Jul 8, 2009

23

Most promising looking scifi film in a while, and it comes from South Africa!

Somewhere in Hollywood, a giant fork is sticking up: It's done.

jasonmd2020 on Jul 8, 2009

24

Honestly when i first saw trailers for it i thought it would be stupid but now it looks pretty cool.

tankmaster on Jul 8, 2009

25

I AM FUCKING THERE!

Nick Sears on Jul 8, 2009

26

wow! i was alittle iffy when i saw the teaser but this looks awesome!
Its going on my to see list.

Tony on Jul 8, 2009

27

Hey McGruff it is WETA workshop doing it. You think Peter Jackson wouldnt bring them along? lol Another great film they did that didnt get the recognition it deserves is The Host back in 2006. One of the best monster movies in a long while.

I am so psyched for this film. I love the short film and I love this directors attitude that comes off in his work. Should be one of the gems this summer since I have been left disappointed so far…

Maxx on Jul 8, 2009

28

must…purchase tickets….ASAP!

Chris W on Jul 8, 2009

29

this looks outstanding! and for the record……….alex,i don't want this to be ANYTHING like cloverfield. that movie was one of the worst i've ever seen.

dan on Jul 8, 2009

30

OMG, can't this come out today?!

Daniel on Jul 8, 2009

31

Looks great. I hope this gets Halo financed.

James on Jul 8, 2009

32

O.O …woah.

That's all.

SuicidalOptimist on Jul 8, 2009

33

I called it first….1 1/2 years ago! Sleeper hit of 2009!!!!!

Clover on Jul 8, 2009

34

This movie looks fukin awesome!!!

big r on Jul 8, 2009

35

ok it was good except for the bug spray scene. that was crap acting

muggins on Jul 8, 2009

36

Yeah if you have ever seen Alive in Joburg that's definitely nothing like Cloverfield…at all.
Not your typical monster movie. More like City of God type feel even in terms of the cultures or Half Life 2

LINKFX on Jul 8, 2009

37

DAMN, that was impressive. Can't wait.

SLee on Jul 8, 2009

38

That is epic! This one will live up to the hype. I love how this looks like a documentary. Effects are incredible. I think this film might be a new standard, hope so anyway. I glad Peter Jackson is involved so this gets wide release instead of being some cool film I don't get to see in theaters. Can't wait.

Moviegimp on Jul 8, 2009

39

I CAN NOT WAIT!

jonny hughes on Jul 8, 2009

40

That was fucking AWESOME. Cannot wait.

Icarus on Jul 8, 2009

41

I can wait. BUT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT!

Dave on Jul 8, 2009

42

Well….I guess I am…..waiting….. (sad face)…..but it’s with such discontent….. How can one wait contently?

jonny hughes on Jul 8, 2009

43

YES!

DoomCanoe on Jul 8, 2009

44

Don't wait, see what I care. Me, I'm waiting.

Dave on Jul 8, 2009

45

wow, can't wait

David Banner on Jul 8, 2009

46

I want to see this NOW! But I understand that I must wait. But to wait contentedly…NEVER! I will wait with anger and only be content after seeing this movie.

Rich on Jul 8, 2009

47

I agree, in spades, with what rich #48 has to say about this waiting business. Now dave #46 and his waiting game makes me sick and he needs to get the hell off of this thread, who’s with me????

jonny hughes on Jul 8, 2009

48

Looks badass. Probably the only movie that Ive been exciting about that won't be, well, adequate, but certainly much more…

Philly is covered in the "warning posters" shown in the trailer. Most of the bus stops, benches, buildings…its pretty sweet…although I'm assuming most cities are like this?

What's even better is the confusion of people trying to decipher them.

Nick B. on Jul 8, 2009

49

I would have went to see this based on the teasers alone, but they amped it up a lot in that new trailer. I found it quite confusing, but that wasn't a bad thing, I still don't fully know what is going to happen in the film, but now I have a better idea.
Also it flipped the idea that the aliens were leaching off Earth, but really they were being kept against their will so that their weapons could be exploited.

Crapola on Jul 8, 2009

damnnnnn


off the meat rack kid…..nice

Rabs on Jul 8, 2009

53

Anticipating the drama, seeing a cool preview here and there… dare I say it… WAITING is fun! It builds tension, it makes for a darn good movie too! Imagine this: "Opening credits… ROSEBUD IS HIS SLED"! Thats a heck of a movie!!! NOT!!!! To wait, to have patience and let life unfold. That is the theater experience. And that for me is what District 9 is all about!

Wait we must.

Dave on Jul 8, 2009

54

Screw Cameron and his mechs!!! This is freakin' awesome! I've been looking forward to this for awhile.

He tries so hard... on Jul 8, 2009

55

Count me in.

Joeso on Jul 8, 2009

56

And they passed this dude up to do Halo…I'm sure he'll be approached very soon for taking the job back on…this looks sick

the dude on Jul 8, 2009

57

Sit on "Anticipating the drama" and spin.

Rich on Jul 8, 2009

58

"This might not exactly be the next Cloverfield"? Christ, I hope not…that movie sucked balls. This on the other hand looks AWESOME!!!

Mark on Jul 8, 2009

68

I love what they've done with the final trailer. They introduce the sinister side of the aliens, Also they show off some of the badass machinery / weapons. Something the previous trailers have not. So they did an excellent job of making the viewer want to watch it even more

SkyNet on Jul 8, 2009

69

finally something to look forward to. looks amazing!

Major Kusanagi on Jul 8, 2009

STOP CALLING THIS THE NEXT "CLOVERFIELD"!!! This is going to be great…CLOVERFIELD was the worst stinking, steaming piece of shit to come out this millenium…dont trash a brilliant film effort by comparing it to anything from that f*&^ing hack JJ ABRAMS…show some respect…

78

I dont know about weta, but i know that that Image Engine in Vancouver is doing a lot of work on this (they apparently had a ton of shots including a lot of the creature stuff - don`t know if that includes mechas) and Blomkamp has a big Vancouver connection - i believe he`s a VFS alumni and he did the short this is based on at the Embassy here in Van as well…

I almost felt it gave away too much. I'd rather the spray thing been left out, but whatever.

Still wish I had seen less of it, but the way trailers go, you're only gonna see more.

Greedo on Jul 9, 2009

84

lol?

well..from what i gathered, aliens WANT to get the feck out of earth, and HUMANS don't want them to leave? WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO KEEP ALIENS ON EARTH?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does this have a fail plot just like transformers 2?!

luke on Jul 9, 2009

@84 Did you ever think about technology?…umm the obvious one its a new species and we want to know more. Weapons, space travel, etc….Im sure I could think of more. Did you even think before you typed that question?

Trey on Jul 9, 2009

92

Wayyyy back-#20-Iron Man is essentially a recently-popularized-by-Hollywood mech suit, too

Trailer looks great! I just hope it doesn't get too "earthbound" meaning lots of explosions,
car chases and gunfire.

They should focus on the aliens' "alieninity."

zubzwank on Jul 9, 2009

93

Nice trailer! Definitively an improvement compared to the teaser trailer.

cine_phil on Jul 9, 2009

94

Wow, this trailer just changed how the movie was first presented as…it looks so much more cinematic and badass. And the special effects on the huge mother ship and other scenes have changed for the better!

Nikhil Hariharan on Jul 9, 2009

Wow, this looks like what Transformers COULD have been.

SHANEDAV on Jul 9, 2009

I definitely preferred the version of the film as it was depicted in the teaser.

The film looks really interesting.. but.. i feel cheated.

Dresden on Jul 9, 2009

Just two words: HOLY SHIT !!!

jaxxx on Jul 9, 2009

101

I think this movie will surprise a lot of people this year. It hasn't had the advertising like Terminator Salvation, Transformers, Star Trek etc. But this preview is building my excitement for D9.

Ezza on Jul 9, 2009

102

this just looks….effing amazing!

Matt on Jul 9, 2009

Agree with #5, fade in/fade out shots are slightly annoying.

The Oct8pus on Jul 12, 2009

I dunno. As a South African I have been disappointed by every movie which had anything remotely connected with or featuring South Africa. Will reserve judgment though till I've seen it.

anesteta on Jul 13, 2009

112

… I looked at most of the previews on youtube and S-H-I-E-E-E-T this sci-fi movie looks like it's gonna KICK ASS - BIG TIME !!! Makes "Transformers" look like "Romper Room"… . Saved the best trailer for you at this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjihaK7HfGs&feature=fvsr

Seems like an excellent tho' exceptionally demanding premise of aiming for social equality with a race of extraterrestials that look like a cross between "cockroaches and toasters", especially when set in the post-apartheid, race-torn country of South Africa. Filmed in a gritty, social-documentary style of realism, the unsavoury, repugnant appearance of these creatures makes xenophobia more than completely understandable. The Shanty-Town Shit-Hole "Concentration Camp" that they appear to be confined to conjures memories of Jimmy Cliff's Shanty-Town Jamaica fused with Auschewitz.

Don't know if you recall way back in the post mid-60's when some black writer in the States suggested in a novel he had just released that a concentration camp might well have been in the works for blacks had the racial tensions in the States gotten further out of control. Don't recall the writer's name –no, not Baldwin or Wright or other household big name– but this outlandish, horrific concept got some media airplay and discussion up here in Kanader on CBC at the time. Understandably, this is a far cry of a concept from housing aliens from outer space but nonetheless similarly chilling to contemplate…

Reg Sum on Jul 13, 2009

113

Somebody said the acting is bad in spray scene. Agree. The trailer has even more campy elements. Somebody said this is serious film. Doubt that, the whole premise of apartheid between aliens and humans in South Africa is a comedy to start with. And the director is a fan of Robocop.

Anyway, it is must look of course are looks like its gonna be something original.

pearson on Jul 13, 2009

Scott on Jul 23, 2009

120

the sounds alone remind me of the aliens crafts making their amazing sounds in Speilberg's WOW (which, needless to say, no matter how many people panned it, I thought was absolutely remarkable)

THIS LOOKS SO intense…..down with the naysayers, go get ready for your spidy 7 and green worm err lantern

Cloverfield doesn't even come close to this. Sorry JJ Abrams.
