Poll: D9 or Avatar
(Vote): District-9
(Vote): Avatar


I hear some people saying D9 was better or worse and the reverse for Avatar, I think both are good but I think D9 is better because how much it pulled off due to a tight budget.

Why film do you think guys was better?

I liked the story of D9 better, but I didn't see Avatar in 3D so that may have affected my decision.

District 9. Neither are as good as they're made out to be though, but at least I enjoyed District 9.

District 9 needed to do more with it.. The story didn't go anywhere and the ending was easy to guess.

Nah you just have to wait bit for the avatar bandwagon to arrive. It's a great movie, but really overhyped in epic proportions.

(I really enjoyed it regardless)

District 9 by far. Nothing against Avatar, I really enjoyed it, but District 9's story was more my style (and I'd say the acting was better).

youre hopeless, you dont even realize its a bigger bandwagon to shit on avatar then to express admiration of any kind

every friend of yours drowning in his own casual mindless existence liked it, why would you?

no.

you are not special

they kind of both ended the same?

i think your username here defines your personality pretty well. Kind of kills any argument

District 9 for me, Avatar's execution was basically paint-by-numbers and I guess I'm less impressed by eye-candy than most.

They cannot be compared. They were my two favorite movies of 2009 TBH. I think they both brought something unique to the table.

D9 showed just how far you can go with a low budget and unknown actors. The original storyline and overall idea were fantastic and very enjoyable.

Avatar was a polar opposite. Endless budgets, famous actors, and an unoriginal plot still came together in an outstanding movie.

To me both movies could not be more opposite in their approach to making an entertaining film, but they both were winners in my eyes.

Wrong, it was a great movie.

D9 was very good and original. However, I just didn't like the main character. He was a dick.

Avatar's visuals (and sounds) blew my brains and made up for any of the shitty acting and writing.

I voted for Avatar.
My lyrics are bottomless!
