I think most readers of Hacker News would enjoy District 9 (I did: 9.5/10)

The problem is... then the first hour ended, and the movie became a giant chase reminiscent of Michael Bay: all cops'n'robbers and random killing: see more here: http://jseliger.com/2009/08/18/district-9 .

Let's avoid spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie yet, but I must say that I found the action parts very satisfying. I haven't been literally on the edge of my seat in an action film in a long time.

Bit of a prawn salad in your view, then?

I completely agree. They had something great going, and then got carried away with the theatrics.

This is exactly my problem as well. I still enjoyed, but was expecting something different, something bigger. Not just another chase film, where one man and two aliens take on an army.

Still the best sci-fi film for a long time. (Haven't seen moon yet).
