I caught this last night. Has anyone else seen it? I thought it was really good. The story was very compelling and the visuals were impressive, (especially given they were all done on a budget of around $30 million). There was also some really good action scenes in it.

My only gripe, and its a small one, is that the story borrows a decent amount from a different movie. I'll "invisi-text" the title as it might give some things away if you haven't seen D9 yet. The movie I'm referring to is Enemy Mine.

So, anyone else have any thoughts on this? I'm personally looking forward to a sequel if they decide to make one, it could be really good.

I was impressed with it. The director is my age, which was both intimidating and inspiring.

The invisi-texted movie, itself, borrowed considerably from [spoiler]Hell on the Pacific[/spoiler], so I wasn't too bothered.

I, (tongue-in-cheek), mentioned to my dad that I thought it was a remake and he responded, "No, this was based on a short film, and the other one was based on a different short-story". Duh, I was just saying they were similar!! Sarcasm is lost via the written word.

You should have told him you thought this was the eighth sequel to District.

I might have to do that.
