I went and saw District 9 with a couple of friends on Saturday night. I really didn't like it. The best part by far was the buttered popcorn I got before the movie started.
I didn't know much about it before going to see it. I knew it was sci-fi and involved aliens. I am a moderate fan of science fiction and a friend really wanted to see it so I went along. I also hadn't been to the theater in I can't remember how long so I was looking forward to going.
About 1/4 of the way through I covered my face with the napkins I had acquired with the aforementioned popcorn. It remained covered through the majority of the rest of the movie. I found it far too grotesque for my liking. It was definitely tough to get through and not for those with a low tolerance for blood and guts and mutilation.
I suppose I'm a bit of a wuss, but for the first time ever I was relieved when the credit started rolling and I could leave the theater.
