Why film do you think guys was better?   | ||

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. | ||

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

Voted d9 yea first 10 minutes of district 9 were really entertaining i think you didnt watch at least 1 of them if not both. There has to be 1 person like that haha. There always is someone voicing his opinion on something he didnt see. I choose you! edit: to further back this up - you didnt even see avatars in action after 10 minutes haha. I doubt anyone would say he was bored at the point where they JUST started introducing them( guy runs out of the building in his new body) So exposed daaaamn  | ||

I'm assuming you're one of those pseudo-intellectuals who found the plot too predictable and derivative. Good for you. I prefer to think of avatar as a retelling of a timeless story in an amazing new medium. D9 was also awesome, tough poll. | ||

My thoughts on D9 + Show Spoiler + About D9's main character being a dick, I think that it showed how he was a flawed character which made the movie a little bit more "real". You can't honestly imagine some random guy who is turning into a fucking beetle alien to remain calm and do the most heroic things. He does save the shuttle at the end which shows how he has turned into the reluctant hero or whatever. My thoughts on Avatar + Show Spoiler + I thought it was one of the most visually beautiful movies of all time. The plot was a bit cheesy. I got a little bored when I watched it the second time at all the scenes which weren't pandora-nature/flying/action scenes. The movie had a simple plot but it was well done. I can't vote for one of the two since I loved both of them so much. I think Avatar, D9, Up, Moon, The Hurt Locker, The Hangover, Star Trek, and <I CANT THINK OF ANY OTHERS BUT I KNOW I'M MISSING A BUNCH OF MOVIES> were the best movies this year. | ||
