Avoid at all costs.

If you're a logical thinking human being, and upon seeing the trailer you think/say to yourself, "Well, that sure does look stupid."

Please, listen to your instincts.

Your wallet will thank you.

This threads about Avatar and District 9, right?

The only part of the trailer that intrigued me was when Grandma turns into some freaky Silent Hill creature and climbs on the ceiling.

It looks stupid but entertaining. You can't see a movie like that and expect shindlers list or one flew over the coocoos nest.

lol i still don't know why you don't like either of those movies. avatar is a great experience seeing it in 3D and D9 was fun as hell to watch with the added bonus of a pretty good story compared to most of the sci-fi bullshit thats come out in the past 10 years.

I never expect a shindlers list, but rather a Schindler's List.

lol silly technicalities.

both are unique movies in their own right; one of them being a pop-sci Disney movie for adults, the other being a poop-sci movie with no substance. kind of like a watery shit.

I wouldn't describe D9 as that. Its not like it was marketed as an epic masterpiece. I was pleasantly suprised for what it was after watching the trailers. Which is probably the main reason why I feel its a solid sci-fi action movie. The trailers didn't hype the shit out of it to be the next 2001 a space odyssey.

This.

whats so bad about this movie?

are you fucking kidding me? i had such high hopes for this, no i wasn't expecting Schindler's List but at least an entertaining movie full of destroying angels. DESTROYING ANGEL!!!

I definitely went in expecting a shit show of a movie with a huge fun factor, but even the fun factor was lacking.

You see a movie like, The Rock, or The Rundown knowing full well that you're not going to be seeing Oscar calliber cinema, but that you'll be grinning the entire time and at least entertained.

Legion was lacking the latter. The action was pretty much garbage and what they lacked in story and acting, they also lacked in gore(which I figured they were going to pile on).
With a few well respected actors in the ranks, I was really really surprised at how poorly they did. The effects were corny and I think the most fun I had with this movie was making fun of the rednecks sitting behind us.
The biggest problem I had with this movie, was Why?
Why is this happening in the movie? They vaguely explain why "angels" are inhabiting people's bodies and attacking a dinner in the middle of no where. Apparently some unborn baby is the salvation of man kind from a God who's "tired of the bullshit"(yes, that's the line they use to describe why the apocolypse happens).
Why is this baby important?

THEY. NEVER. EXPLAIN. THIS.

This factor alone is infuriating and completely destroys the movie for me.

They hint that since the baby is born to a single mother, and is loved by a man/boy who isn't even the father, that human compasion is what saves the world, but don't really develop the theory. They just piled more and more shit on to make the movie look "cool".

Thank goodness my friend paid for me to convince me to go.

Well thank you for backing your opinion with facts.

All for you.

glad i didnt waste time/money on this bullshit

fuck. i was really hoping this was going to kick ass.

me too. another case of a good trailer for a shitty movie.

I just put this in..

ahahahahaha, the version I'm watching turned into russian at the end.
