Pegadinha:

A large number of actual South African weapons were used in the film. Quite a few of them were designed by Tony Neophytou and are marketed by Denel. This includes the NTW-20 20mm anti-materiel rifle, white painted CR-21 bullpup assault rifles and a Neopup PAW-20 hand-held grenade launcher. Kobus uses this when he shoots the battle suit in the back.

Goofs:

Incorretamente assosciados a goofs: The space ship covering a greater part of the city skyline manages to float in the air for 20 years without fuel. This defies Newton's Third Law, as it would need fuel or power to oppose or equalize the 9.8m/s/s gravitational pull. However, it is only stated that the ship needs fuel to make the journey back to the home planet. It can be assumed that it has some automated system keeping it floating.

Citações:

Wikus Van De Merwe: [Wikus is obviously falling sick] Okay, let's cut some cake!
[Wikus begins to hallucinate and experience distortion in hearing his own speech, slowing things down considerably]
Wikus Van De Merwe: C-U-T S-O-M-E C-A-K-E!

Not what I expected

I attended a promotional screening for this with a pretty good attitude towards all the hype that surrounded it. It was not what I expected, it was much better.

Not only were the CGI top notch, but the narrative is driven through a believable plot. Watching this film made me believe that a situation as such had occurred on Earth, and therefore the far fetched notion of an extra terrestrial race visiting us becomes so close to a reality through a story that is so realistically depicted.

District 9 is a beautifully crafted film which shows signs of great promise for being around for a while, a subject talked about by many people. Can't wait to watch this again with my friends = )
