District 9

A solid 8, good fun to watch.

Seen them both before, thought I'd watch them again cause they're both great. Recommend both highly.

I watched the movie a looong time ago, then read the book in dutch, watched the movie a bunge of times, read the book in english (for english class) and watched the movie a couple times more.

If anyone comes to watch a movie here and they dont know what the watch i'll always recommend this one f they havent seen it yet.

No, I loved Fight Club when it different and unique the first time, and called Primal Fear.

Why because Ed Norton was in them both? That's about the extent of your comparison.

plus every single novel (and subsequent film adaptation) of that period was "different and unique". it was the fucking young-brat 90's.

Because after loving Edward Norton in Primal Fear, we all figured out the "twist" of Fight Club so early in the movie that is became a sit and wait and hope we are mistaken so we can still be surprised type of thing. One of the most overrated over-hyped movies of all time in my opinion.

Just because it is "different and unique" doesn't make it good.

Just because it is topic/scenario a lot of movies have covered doesn't make it bad.

There are only so many existing formulas for movies.

Everyone has their own opinions.

i hope you're not trying to infer that the plot twist of fight club was plagiarized from primal fear. have you read the books?

everyone has their own opinions, yes, it's just that your's are mostly wrong.

That is my point. Why does everyone have to tell me how wrong I am because *I* like Battle Los Angeles?

Movie critics generally suck. Sometimes it's because of bias.

I personally enjoyed Battle LA, too. I now have seen it 3 times, including when I saw it at the theaters.

No Escape and Surviving the Game

Each gets a 4/10 simply for nostalgia reasons. Saw them both as a kid, and, well, they lived up to my poor expectations but kind of disappointed at the same time. They're just crappy 90s throwaway movies that I saw on Netflix and figured I'd rewatch.

Yes everyone has their own opinion. I'm saying I don't get yours at all. Spoiler (highlight to read):
The twist was almost the exact opposite in each movie. In Primal fear the mental disorder was a fabrication used to get a stuttering choir boy off of a murder wrap. In Fight club the mental disorder was genuine.

Primal Fear was a courtroom thriller. Fight Club was centered around the development of an anti-social cult. A cult that plots and carries out "terrorist" acts. The twists were different in each movie.

Your interpretations are extremely shallow. In my opinion.
