Star Trek or District 9?

 I asked my friend this question today and he couldn't decide. Neither can I. I am curious to see which amazing sci-fi film, Star Trek or District 9, is better.
 
District 9 was an ingenious, smart, unique , and creative masterpiece while Star Trek was an entertaining, top class, amazing, blockbuster reboot. 
 
Tell me what you think...

i liked district 9 more, but star trek was fucking awesome too 

I'd have to say District 9, it's my favourite film this year, by far. But Star Trek was also very enjoyable :)

District 9, but both were good.

District Trek

Start Trek was good but District 9 was GREAT!

Star Trek, by far. District 9 seemed far too muddled for me.

Didn't watch the star trek movie, but I did see District 9 and liked it.

D9, l don't like the idea of reboots.  Studios need to learn to care for their IP, instead of raping it every 3 years with another 'just to get butts in seats" offering.
 
Having 3 tv series on the air at the same time really killed Trek imo.

Star Trek seemed to have too much filler that didn't advance the storyline, and not all of the characters felt 'real' to me.
 
District 9 was very good, but relied on anthropomorphism and other cheap film tricks to garner sympathy for the aliens.  I think it could have been more powerful if they hadn't catered to the lowest common denominator so often.
 
Overall, District 9.

Both good movies, I kind of liked District 9 a bit better.

District 9 for me.

District 9. Not my favorite, but it's amazingly original.

District 9. That film blew me away.

Both great films, but whereas District 9 met my expectations, Star Trek far away exceeded them.

District 9 by far, not even in the same league tbh. And i loved Star Trek, it totally surprised me, its a kick ass action movie...but thats all that is (in my opinion of course). District 9 is one of the best movies in years

Damn, I accidentally pressed Star Trek. They're both awesome though.

I have yet to see District 9, but Star Trek was one of the best sci-fi movies I have ever seen. If District 9 is anywhere close to that, then I will be very happy.

I'd have to lean in favour of District 9, if for no other reason than it brought things to the screen I had yet to see.  Both are amazing, and will grace my shelf when they come out.

Star Trek. District 9 went off like a wet firecracker, then died a quiet death. No amount of CGI could make up for it's insipid story and flawed script.

is this even a serious question, district 9 is original whearas star trek was similar to batman begins in a bad way, its convoluded origin story and call backs to prior works made it unbearable.

I didn't care much for either. 
 
District 9 was annoying and slow, the characters all came off as stupid and the whole social commentary thing is not for me. I prefer sci-fi without social commentary. 
 
The new Star Trek movie was nothing more than a parody of Star Trek. It was ridicoulus and over the top and did not even attempt to capture what Star Trek is about. The fact that I hate JJ Abrams with a burning passion doesn't really help either. 
I'm a huge Star Trek fan and what he has done with the Star Trek franchise is inexcusable. 
Thankfully it was set in an alternate universe so the actual canon of Star Trek wasn't hurt that much. The Kirk and Spock etc that we saw in the movie were NOT the real actual Kirk and Spock, they were people in another universe, just like the mirror universe. Therefor their actions and what they did has no bearing on the canon. Enterprise was actually more of a canon violation and I hate ENT just as much as the new movie.

I think District 9 is the better movie, but Star Trek is more enjoyable and more re-watchable.

I haven't seen Star trek yet but I wasn't impressed from what I saw so District 9.

Why not both? They're both good, very different sci-fi movies. 
 
NO VOTE.

district 9 i liked more.

Just a quick question: In what way was District 9 original?

Far and away District 9. Awesome movie, Star Trek just doesn't come close in my book.

Both are fantastic Sci-fi movies, I can't decide :(.

I thought they both were great. I liked District 9 more though.

They're both top notch films but D9 wins by a nose in my book.

Both movies were well done, and had very nice visual effects, but District 9 actually made me think while Star Trek felt totally built for mainstream, and also disappointed me because they turned Star Trek into a shoot'em up movie.

District 9, it was just much more interesting to me and alot more sci-fi.

i agree with flaming hobo: District 9, it was just much more interesting to me and alot more sci-fi

District 9 was cool....but I wasn't that impressed with it overall (can't put my thumb on it).  I really liked Star Trek though so that gets my vote.

that is a tough question.  Both were amazing imo. I'd have to go with District 9 only bc it was different.

I found that the concept in D9 was more realistic and original 

BOTH!!!  
 
On a more serious note, District 9 is a better film but Star Trek is more fun.

" D9, l don't like the idea of reboots.  Studios need to learn to care for their IP, instead of raping it every 3 years with another 'just to get butts in seats" offering. "

startrek was cool, but District 9 had a cooler storyline

" @ArchScabby: Honestly, I thought Star 9 was better. "

" Pros/Cons of Star Trek
(-) Green girl.
(+) Dialogue and character development (spot-on casting).
(+) Explosions.
 
Pros/Cons of District 9 (-) Mockumentary style.(+) Bullet ball.(-) Way too black and white. Felt like I was watching a saturday morning cartoon with the evil corporation ("I %&*#ing hate prongs") and a protagonist learning what he did was wrong who then teams up with an alien species he discriminated against. The apartheid movement in South Africa is just not relevant anymore.   (+) New take on alien contact. Still prefer the classic "They're zapping our President!" storylines. And note: I never watched an episode of Star Trek. "
