Poll: Avatar Vs. District 9

[wunderguy]

This isnt meant to cause flame or fan boy style arguements.
I just wondered what people thought. I mean i liked them both, Avatar is a giant multi-million $ production with known actors/ directors, and district 9 seemed more underground cheapy film with a 'new' set of actors and directors.

Sooo whats your favourite?

My god man RUN RUN TO THE MOVIES

 

[JanatUrlich]

Still haven't seen either. I'M SO BEHIND ON RECENT FILMS. I need to stop watching so many dvds

Never saw District 9, but Avatar is just as good as Terminator 2 and Aliens.

 

[Sassafrass]

I have yet to see both. Although, I did plan to see District 9.
But ended up in a Zombieland screening.

Avatar is good, but I'm going to have to go with District 9 on this one.

 

[dreadedcandiru99]

Is it okay to like both of them? Because I do.

 

[Chipperz]

Avatar, because I keep getting District 9 confused with District 13, and becuase District 13 was just so fucking awesome, the sight of stupid crustacean aliens makes me sad

Was I the only one who cheered at the end of District 9? Loved this movie and can't wait to get it on DvD.

I haven't seen Avatar, but it would have to blow me away in order for it to beat District 9.
District 9 was incredible.
Great action, great story, smart social justice themes, touching characters...just awesome.

I think I will enjoy Avatar, but it'll be a popcorn flick.

Well I enjoyed District 9 extremely. It was just a good movie and it was increadibly well done in my opinon. Being a multi million dollar movie dosen't make a movie good and there are hundreds of examples of this.

I enjoyed both as well. But I will admit that Avatar surprised me, I didn't expect it to be as good as it was.

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

Both of them are awesome!

although ur right about district 9 having a more underdog director and cast its cgi team and music team r very well know just so ya know

I find it difficult to compare both these movies because aside from the 'alien / foreign race' theme they don't really have a lot in common.
Maybe it's just because it's been a while since I've seen District 9, but I'll have to go with Avatar on this one because it left a bigger impression on me than District 9... yes, the story is very basic, but it's amazingly well told, and it's simply stunning to watch. It really seems very difficult (for me, at least) to be disappointed by a James Cameron movie.
Also, I am a sucker for romance sub-plots, and regarding this aspect Avatar most certainly provides.

I saw the same thread on 4chan/tv/... ah well.
District 9 is my favourite by far, I don't know why, I just thought it had a better story.
