I WANT TO PLAY CHRISTOPHER SO BAD

because modern movie games are terrible

It's called "HALO"

because every gun in it is already in other videogames

K, I just saw this thread.

Why is it not about video games yet?

because movie to game tie ins always suck balls?

its called section 8 it practicly has the same name

>>36069816
lold

D9 featured a gravity gun, lold

>>36069819
Dont talk shit on Butcher Bay faggot. That was a good tie-in.

>>36069873
alright perhaps was I slightly hasty

MOST tie ins suck

better?

great movie

i loved the gravity gun like weapon

>>36069816
new meme

Best parts of the movie, now in .gif form

>>36069873
>DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT BUTCHER BAY. AWWWWWWWW BOB SAGET

cause it would be bad =(

>>36069931

K, I just saw this meme.

Why is it not a video game yet?

Why would you want anything associated with this movie to suck?

If they were to make a videogame independent of the movie, but set in the same universe, that could be pretty decent.

also, new reaction.gif

>>36069782
>>36069799
So the movie is not ruined by a piss poor rushed video game that is made to catch the fad

The movie wasn't that great.
It was so fucking slow.

What about your own company, Wingnut Interactive? District 9 feels like it would have been a great game.

We definitely felt like District 9 would have been a great video game property, and both Neill and myself love games, but we just couldn't get our heads together ... I was working on The Lovely Bones, and he was busy filming District 9, and we just couldn't get together on it in time.

It's called half life 2

I'd play it.

Half Life.

>>36070048
Speaking of which... I've just been playing this game. It's beyond terrible....

District 9 was a B movie.

Multiplayer would be god awful broken.

>>36070040
DUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR-PLOW!

Fucking robot section. BULLET MAGNETISM FUCK YEAH

also, mini game where you cuuuuuuuuuuut soooooooooooooome caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

District 9 was supposed to be Halo

Halo has now invented scifi films

>>36070003
K, I just saw this spoiler.

Why isn't it a video game yet.

>>36070288
And I loved it, thought it was fantastic.

FOOK

popcorn

>>36070483

God, that scene was disturbing. The popcorn sounds...

i liked it, although i thought the lightning gun was way overused, wouldve liked to see some of the other ones.

that and at times the robot scene was kinda gay.

overall 9/10 good sirs

Great movie.

A couple iffy things about it, but it's better not to think about them and enjoy it.

Did anyone else think something was suspicious when at the start, during the interviews, the black guy was in prison?

Watch they make a game with the plot set up like a sequel where the prawn come back and their is the cliche humans fight aliens. wikus brings peace among the two sides

I also just saw that movie and thought the same thing, then realised there would be way less action to stealth sequence ratio. Like how would you play him going from door to door getting eviction sigs?

>>36070544
Blomkamp is a master troll. You just know he did coolface.jpg on opening night.

I also just saw the movie today, and was thinking the same thing.

In my opinion it would be good to make it take place before the movie, focusing on the
conflics between the alien population
and the military.

You would then be able to choose which side you
wanted to play on, with a different storyline for each.

well.. its like half life 2, but we allowed the aliens to stay

>>36070628
I would like it better if he was still a bit of an asshole.

The Prauns look like Vortiguants. This is like Half Life, but if humans were the bad guys. There's even a gravity gun in the movie lol. Peter Jackson plays way too much Half Life 2.

>>36070040
LOL at this part in the movie my friend yelled "That's FUCKING metal"

My favorite part about this movie is that with its 30 million dollar budget, they created an action scene more exciting and fun to watch than the entire transformers movie

Actually my favorite part was when the guy who hit the mech with a truck got out and started shooting it while it was down only to be blown up almost instantly

>>36070739
Niell, the director, said he loves to play Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.

its a lot like resistance

>>36069865
Gravity guns are actually quite plausible for a super-advanced race to have.

the movie was a shit ton like the half life universe

>>36070774
I just loved it when the main character dude first uses the shockwave alien gun on the weapons dealers, fuck that was awesome

>>36070862
FORCE GUN FOOK YEAR

>>36070862
kinda like the force gun or whatever from dead space

District 9 really sucked assholes. I like GI Joe ten times better.

>>36070862
I enjoyed almost every single time a weapon was fired in this movie, they were just so brutal and exact, well the crippled guy saying HOLY SHIT when the shockwave gun was used was pretty damn funny

wikus is faggot

>>36070907
I have yet to see GI Joe.

I want to, but I'm probably seeing Inglorious Basterds on Friday, then I start school on Monday. So I'll probably just have to wait for the DVD rip to leak out early and torrent the movie.

>>36070981
Blomkamp really knows how to do an action scene.

God, he's probably my favorite director now. His "mixed media" approach is god tier. I love seeing guncams and surveillance cameras mixed in with regular footage.

>>36071017
>>36070907
0/10 only good thing was the Snakeyes Vs Stormshadow fights and flashbacks plot was stupid
REx didn't just say hey i'm still alive,Destro fucking SCOTTISH!, Duke + Baroness relationship? movie fucking failed hard

Also District 9 made a movie it's pic related

NO NATHAN YOU ARE THE chimera

>>36071338
GI Joe was one of those "remove brain, enjoy film" movies. And it still appealed to the 12 year old in me even if they fucked canon in the ass, against a wall, sideways.

>>36071550

Agreed. G.I. Joe was simply eye candy. If you went in with high expectations, you made a mistake.

Loved how the protag went from a somewhat unlikeable loser to killing machine of GAR and awesome.

>>36071550
My brain was removed after the first 5 minutes, then I just chuckled every fucking time they referred to "knowing is half the battle"

ALSO, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT ONE SPECIAL SOLDIER SCREAMING IN FEAR WHEN FALLING DOWN THE ELEVATOR, HE HAS NO FEAR

>>36071988
Hearing Dennis Quaid say "knowing is half the battle" made me giggle like a Japanese schoolgirl.

>>36072028
Oh hell yes, I got hard, he delivered that line perfectly

GOD YES, so I'm not the only one who thinks D9 deserves a well-made game.

If there ever was to be a D9 game, I want it to be about Christopher traveling back home and getting help or something. Perhaps a trilogy that represents each year that it takes to get help and return back to Earth?

Also, SUPPORT NON-HUMAN RIGHTS.

It deserves one yes but it is rare as pandas fucking at the zoo for a movie videogame tie in to be any good they are all rushed into production to catch onto a new fad

>>36072167
>>36072410

>>36072581
First time I've heard that expression

If District 9 turns into a game it needs Mass Effect style alien sex

>>36072410
not a trilogy, but a once-off game that was basically like the sequel to the movie. you play christopher, he goes back home, recruits fuckers, they come back and beat the crap out of the local military while rescuing the earth-bound prawns.

District 9 was a rip-off of many popular games out there. The dude's hand=Prototype. Him becoming an alien=Resistance. All the weapons=Resistance/Half-Life/Ratchet and Clank.

Just play those games if you want District 9. Was a decent film, but I don't think I would watch it again.

>>36069782
SELL ADVANCED WEAPONS FOR 1000 CANS OF CAT FOOD

WELL, MAKE THAT 100

>>36070544
Can somebody explain this? I missed first 15 minutes of the movie, came in while Wikus was evicting the yellow prawn.

>>36072940
inb4 advice prawn

>>36072892
You sir, are a dumbass. plenty of movies take inspirations from other sources of entertainment. Have you heard of George Lucas getting plenty of his ideas from other sources? No one never called him a rip-off of that.

Non-human here. Whoever successfully translates this text may gain the secret to using our weaponry.

>>36073624
You just lost the game.

>>36071550
agreed

sometimes i want a movie to think deeply about, other movies i just want a fun movie to enjoy ala EYE CANDY.

>>36072892
Call it a rip off- it may as well be the best compilation of the most awesome shit movies/videogames had.

>>36073624
First part is you..

>>36073183

>>36073183
GO GO GO

>>36073624

I knew what it said before I even translated it. :/

SOUTH AFRICA WITH ALIE...actually just South Africa

>>36073183

Too late, bub.

>>36073232
If anything, I'm observant. And plenty of people call George Lucas a rip-off.

I thought District 9 was one of the best sci fi movies I've seen in recent years.
Also felt like bawing at the end.
Chris is a true bro.

>>36074353
Have you seen 'Moon'?
That was a good movie, too.

>>36072892

I wouldn't say a rip-off of Prototype. And there's been so many movies about transforming into alien/monster/whatever the fuck nowadays that you can't really look at Resistance in specific (otherwise you're saying Resistance ain't that original, either).

If it gets a game, it should be about a post-Chris leaving conflict between Pro Forma and the MNU security. Maybe a chance to play as both PF and MNU, with Human v. Non-human online play? ( And maybe also MNU v. Non-human rights groups online too.)

Anyone else felt that there needed to be more Thomas? (Wikus' personal security guard) He was pretty cool for an MMU.

Knock off of Alien Nation= great movie.

MOVIE OF THE YEAR

>>36074578
Lol'd and raged when Wikus handed him the plug and he grinned when Wikus said "here, have a souvenir of your first abortion"

Only if it has online co-op so I can run my own catfood blackmarket.

>>36074578
this makes my pants happy

Wikus went from a dickface to badass back to dickface in the movie, but boy when he was badass, he was badass.

>>36074766
lol'd. that was pretty much my only problem with the movie. Why does their spaceship fuel make him transform into one of them?

>>36072998
they torched a shanty full of baby aliens. they started popping like popcorns.

>>36074606
oh, god. that suit was fooking awesome.

too bad he didn't know how to use it's defenses.

maybe he could have just had it follow him instead of riding it.

>>36074907

The same reason their alien ship can hover forever: because the story says it does.

>>36074907

Nanomachines

>>36074830
in the beginning, he was only borderline asshole, though. he seems to understand, for the most part, but he doesn't have much tolerance when they mess with him.

gotta agree, though, the worst was when he bonked the prawn.

More than 70 posts and not a single rule 34 prawn pic yet? For shame, /v/.

Derp, meant to say 100

>>36075099
more like super-advanced biotechnology, and the use of their DNA in their fuel, as with all their technology.

>>36074907
NANOMACHINES.

No, seriously. The fluid was a multi-use nanomachine solution, and when it hit Wikus, it assumed he was an injured prawn and started "fixing" his non-prawn body.

Yes, I would have to agree on the borderline. I mean, he was understanding (compared to the rest of the humans), but not completely (perhaps intentionally?).

It's funny how aliens were more human than humans, even humans who turned into aliens.

>>36075123
INTER-SPECIES PROSTITUTION

WUT

>>36074907
I figure it's like this. The fuel is pure stem cells mixed with prawn blood.
1. it took them 20 years to collect a vial. stem cells are hard to come by.
2. they said their technology is based a lot on biology
3. stem cells can be used to grow pretty much any body part using DNA of the part you want to grow. Mix it with prawn DNA, and BAM. human-to-prawn transformation juice
4. they were all malnourished when they arrived. from giving all their blood to the ship's fuel.

>>36075253
oh, and
5. the blood is the same color as the fuel

already been posted but i think mine's funnier

>>36075244
I lol'd when they framed him for extended sexual contact with a prawn.

>>36075123
I don't want prawn prawnz (DOHOHOHO) on /v/.

Go to /d/ for that.

>>36074446
seems to be "the" year for sci-fi movies.

>>36075123

This shit is better than the generic "Humans are so great, let's show how they can overcome adversity" movies. This is why in the grand scheme of things, I am very doubtful advanced lifeforms from other planets would even want to establish contact with us.

>>36075289
>>36075253
Kinda stupid, but I guess it makes more sense than not explaining it at all.

Main character was kind of a selfish fag, but he redeemed himself towards the end.

Also, he's a pussy. He's in this giant battle mech armed with at least 5 flesh-evaporating weapons, and he runs because that douchebag merc leader yells at him. He only goes back when he realizes they're going to kill Michael.

>>36075373
I'm convinced that the entire reason we HAVEN'T heard from alien life IRL is that they've seen all our scifi movies already, and they're like "HOLEEEEEE SHIT, STEER CLEAR OF THAT PLANET"
Cause I can't think of a single movie where we treat aliens nicely.

It'll be a PS3/PSN exclusive cause its a Sony funded film :)

>>36075468

Mars Attacks.

See where that gets us?

>>36075408
He represents the majority of human beings on earth though. Selfish, cowardly, and socially stagnant about the issues happening around them. It wasn't until fate would fling some shit at him that he finally moves his ass for others.

>>36075408
he never knew how to use the damn weapon. it's not like he suddenly knew how to read prawn language.

he ran because he was being overwhelmed, and he can sympathize with christopher wanting to be with his son.

>>36075521
oh please. that was a parody.

i think half life was a pretty good movie why isnt it a video game yet?

>>36075350

>>36075468
Agreed. Also we already discriminate one another based on the pigmentation of our skin. Now let's assume that not all intelligent lifeforms out there are even carbon-based... how much are we gonna discriminate then? Also, we being humans, a cowardly bunch, would be absolutely intimidated by space-age technology/weapons and will assume that all aliens that have it is out to get us. First things we as a human race will try to do is acquire these weapons and kill the aliens who had it.

I'm more curious as to what the hell happened to the Prawns in the first place. Why was the ship in such disarray? What happened on the ship that caused them to be so primitive. I know that a lot of them were workers, thus not so intelligent, but this leads the question of what role was Christopher? Maybe a ship technician? And where are all of the other intelligent Prawn, such as the captain of the ship?

There should be more GIFs of the carnage this movie gave us.

>>36075513
Spider-Man would like a word with you.

>>36075729
Alot of things in the movie were meant to be left to the imagination.

So when the humans started kicking them around, why didn't the aliens use their weapons to kill them all?

>>36075729
Christopher Johnson did say that they can't go back home for whatever reason. He's only going back to try and rescue his people before they're all experimented on.

>>36075729
The control centre of the ship broke away from the mother ship. We assume something happened on the ship. But yes, Christopher and his yellow friend are probably some of the few (or only) surviving intellectual prawns after they were allocated in District 9.

I uploaded most of the Advice Prawn pics to the MNU Spreads Lies facebook page.

They seem to like it.

>>36075858
It was an entire planet against them. I seriously doubt that even with advanced weapondry, they could take on an entire planet.

>>36075813
Obviously. I wasn't expecting them to reveal stuff like that, and it is always fun to speculate. I was just wondering what some of you guys were theorizing about said events.

>>36075867
But wasn't he only saying he couldn't go back home when Wikus was refusing to help him?
>>36075885
I don't think his yellow friend was all that intelligent. He couldn't fully comprehend that they were searching for their technology, not the human's, and he wasn't smart enough to be polite to the MNU to avoid conflict.

>>36069799
I will not be played!
