    Affrikanliens: The District 9 Thread

    I didn't like "Welcome to Joburg" too much, but it was an intriguing enough premise for a feature. But I do love a New Zealand-South Africa assault on Hollywood, and I hope District 9 does well. The preview was certainly tremendous.

    It's turning out to be the surprise hit of the summer, it seems. Cost $39 million to make, grossed $37 million on its opening weekend.

    The reviews seem to be pretty good, and here in SA there's now talk about how it might be up for a few Oscar nominations, especially since the "Best" Movie category will be expanded to ten as of next year.

      I like the look of this too - I like "sci-fi" when it becomes "well this is what would actually happen", as with Alien Nation or even, to give it the credit it's due, the early bits of ID4.

      Hope the reviews continue to be good, ahead of its British cinematic release.
