District 9: Head Explosions at Their Finest

First off, let me say that you should see this movie. It was excellent. The plot was exceptionally well put-together, and the flow of the filming was very nicely done. At the beginning, it does a Cloverfield-esque film technique, then slowly transitions to standard filming.


Now for the most hardcore part of the movie: the exploding bodies. Literally.

Pretty much everyone that died did so via explosion. The best of these exploding targets were those who died by headshots.

A giant alien mech/robot thing fires a piece of death candy right into Akon's twin brother, the gang lord. I swear I thought that guy was Akon... Anyways, his snoz was drilled by some projectile/taser/facebomb thing. It was by far the most hardcore weapon ever, alongside the magnetic bullet-ball-thing (see the movie and you'll know what I mean, it happens right before homefry gets popped in the face with the head-specific c4).

Not only did Akon no.2 get his head blown off by Scarface's dream weapon, but he did so while sitting in his wheelchair. If that doesn't say helpless death I don't know what does. He deserved it though (again, see the film).

Anyways, if you want to see exploding bodies and total domination by machines whose destructiveness is rivaled only by that of the Terminators in the new Terminator: Salvation, check out this movie.

Nice job Peter Jackson, stick to aliens and their robots and leave King Kong on that island. That remake was terrible, but hey! Redemption is sweet, and even without the plot, sweet film techniques, etc., Peter Jackson was redeemed by this masterpiece and its gruesome, creative, and all-around manly deaths.
