District 9

i think it would be ruined if they did do a sequel. huge huge props to their weapons guy though, valmets and tavors where regular AKs would have done makes elitist snobs like me happy

*damn kooky south africans, looks like all of those were vektors. makes the weapons guy even more relevant. guess i need to do more research to keep my scout skills on point

Not Galil and Tavor rifles but R4 and CR21 rifles. Your gun-fu is weak.

Tried to see it tonight. 1 hour and 15 minutes in the power went out on the bloick that the theater is on...I was not pleased...

Saw it last night, totally not what i expected. Even after the "intense and gory" warning, I was not prepared for the movie.

I guess I'm more girly than I thought b/c this was not my flavor of movie. I wasn't pprepared for exploding beings, nor all the dark parts of human nature. I think it was the documentary style of portrayal that really did it for me.

Strikes me as alien apartheid.

Doesnt hurt that the director was a south african. But yeh bad ass movie, and I truly doubt that there will be a part 2. there was a ton of stuff left open at the end but you can almost guess what will happen.

Oh and did anybody notice the Halo sniper rifle in the first scene inside D9 when they were exiting the truck? One of the guys in the background had a huge green sniper rifle. Some dude in the back of the theater yelled out taht there was the halo sniper gun. I thought it looked like a green mech20 (forget the real name).

And I was thinking the white rifles might be british sa80's with a large plastic cover of some kind on them. Only reason I say that is because off the top of my head the brits and the israelis are the only ones I can think of that have their magazine behind the pistol grip, although I'm sure there are more, just cant think of any right now.
