CGI perhaps, but it's live action for the most part unless I'm mistaken. Are you possibly referring to the animated film "9" instead?

Don't care, it's American shyte!. Cheap shyte, purchased by "networks" because they don't want to spend money on actually making stuff.

It's not a surprise the IQ of the UK is matching the US, ie, the age stoopid has arrived!

OK, we got the idea. You don't like the film, fine. The films a person does or does not like do not dictate their IQ ffs. You've just gotta have a whinge, haven't you

The director is South African & the producer is from New Zealand.
It's a good film, with some echoes of apartheid.

No, I just prefer quality. Sadly, "quality programing" does not exist, "Big Brother" being an example.

Saw it last night.
Excellent film. In no way is it American ie no tidy ending with everything explained and it actually has a storyline.
It also has the coolest sci fi movie weapon since the pulse rifle from Aliens

Thought it was really good, just something different from the normal Hollywood crop.

Weapons were very good, taken straight out of the first person shooter gaming world

Shame it stops being that the further you get into the film, the documentary part is just there to explain what's going on.

Iq of 142 and i LOVED this film.

So you come onto the thread accusing anybody who dares to like what is a well made, different, and pretty entertaining film, of being stupid

While simultaneously spouting ill-informed idiotic nonsense such as this
