Avatar vs District 9
So, I recently watched both movies, and pondered on how they both had similar themes. (Humans screwing over Aliens)
I would say District 9 would be far better, but it would likely be a biased choice since the day I first saw Avatar happened to be one of the most frustrating days of my life, and Im instantly excited by anything gory.
So, flood people, what do you think is the better film? Dances with Smurfs or Blood blowey-upy-weapon?

Avatar has stunning visual effects. I cannot recall a time before or since I saw Avatar that CGI impressed me so much. ...But that's [i]all[/i] Avatar has. Storywise, it f*cking sucks. The visual effects took away from my interest in the plot; instead of wondering what happens next, all I was interested in was what kind of CGI would have sex with my retinas next. District 9 wasn't much better in the story department, but it worked with what it had far better than Avatar, and I was genuinely interested in what was happening instead of just watching it because it looks pretty. It wasn't perfect by any means - no movie is - but it was awesome enough that I could overlook the flaws that it does have. It showed a new and interesting take on an alien invasion and the results of said invasion. And that's why it's (currently) my favorite movie.
