Movie Review: District 9 (2009)
There are very few movies that can come out of nowhere and wow people. There are even fewer that live up to the hype. This movie manages to do both. This is one of those rare sci-fi gems that you know will be considered a classic long past the time when the first generation that saw it is dead and gone. The storyline is gorgeous and the acting is superb. And, not only does it manage to be great, but it also manages to throw in a few twists that you don't see coming which, any experienced movie-goer will tell you, is always a treat (I mean, we're all so jaded we usually see them coming a mile away). But, best of all, it does what a great sci-fi movie should do: make you very uncomfortably aware that you are human and, as such, you have faults and sometimes you can overcome them and sometimes you can't.
Conclusion: I cannot recommend this movie enough.
