Just because it's by the same director does not mean you should automatically compare it to District 9. I have not seen the movie yet (going next week), I know that I would like it since I enjoyed most of the movies already that came out. And critics aren't that bad. It has a 60 on metacritic and that is pretty decent lately. So just go without to much expectations.
Btw, after the bad White House Down from Sony Pictures this one must profit. After Earth was a mediocre movie which only doubled the investment thanks to foreign sales. The Smurfs 2 Has made it's mony back in a few weeks and will probably double as well. It seems like a mediocre year for Sony Pictures. This is the end did quite good and Grown Ups 2 which is a horrible movie sells well. Mortal Instruments will probably reach a lot of females soon just like the One Direction movie.
Can't wait for next years Spider-Man 2. Every bit of info from Comic-con got me excited and I'm not the only one. At least we have some awesome series this year like Breaking Bad.
