Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:04:01 +0000 http://www.markcarras.com/?p=338#comment-51 [...] Despite a ton of gunfights, District 9 seemed slow to me. Even when we finally see some awesome alien technology in action, we had to wait so long for it that it’s nearly anti-climactic. Because this is really just a very intense character study, it was easy to get bogged down by the details. Without any humor whatsoever to break up the pace, I had to fight to keep paying attention. Towards the end I even got bored by the gunfights. My husband felt pummeled by this movie, too, and shares his review here. [...] [...] Despite a ton of gunfights, District 9 seemed slow to me.
