V
Rughugger:
I consider District 9 to be a more realistic version of the older movie Alien Nation. Both movies deal with aliens that are stranded on Earth for one reason or another but with Alien Nation, it turns into a police drama with a more futuristic theme of racial tolerance.
And when I say more realistic, I mean as far as how the aliens would be treated, not the whole humans exploding like water balloons when shot, and other obvious plot fantasies dealing with the main character.
ranGar:
I never saw the "original"
I thought V was mediocre. The beginning was slow. The teenager son and his friend were supposed to be 17 but looked like all the 20-somethings who play teens on high school musical. also their acting was horrible.
The lead female role (girl from lost, can't recall the characters name) had decent acting, but all the FBI office stuff seemed unnatural and uncomfortable
the whole aliens being planted among us and waiting for years seems an aweful lot like battlestar galactica... cylon skinjobs anyone?
overall, it was bareable. i think they have potential for some a really good series but they aren't pulling it off correctly yet.
i can see the son becoming attached to the positive media spin of the visitors and the strain that will cause on his (guess what) already strained relationship with his mom. that story line just seems WAY to disney. (it is abc tho...)
"you have to be 18"
"aw man, we're 17!"
"you coulda have your mom sign!"
"aw mannn she doesn't know i left the house!"
"aw shoot, i just would have happened to be your counselor"
"aw mannnnnnnn, she's really cute, too bad i snuck out"

they cut into this guy's head and showed his skullbone and then a V's skullbone, it was really kinda creepy
