Fabulous film that appears to have been comment sabotaged!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2009)

This is an excellent film that I watched without having seen the trailers and hype. It has a well deserved 8.4 average and a low 95 in the top 250. How anyone can rate this film as "disappointing" and then give it 3/10 is a farce and makes me think this is like "The Children" in reverse (loads gave that nonsense a 9-10 and called it "Brilliant" when it was, in fact, absolute drivel.) District 9 is fantastic, intelligent and an amazingly crafted masterpiece that is sure to get much higher ratings over time. I can't wait for "District 10" and although it will be hard to accomplish, it might even surpass this masterpiece. The political and racial undertones, the governmental corruption awash throughout every country, not just South Africa, the whole gamut of between-the-lines analogies interspersed throughout this very intelligent and socially aware film are brilliant. A thinking person's film, undoubtedly crafted by extremely intelligent and humane people.
A well deserved cracking score, and the CGI is awesome. Look like real aliens, living beings. And that this was done on a "shoestring budget of 30 million"? IF that is £ sterling, that was good value as in bangs for bucks-if it was $ US, it was an error and grossly under-priced by the CGI studio. Amazing, amazing and even more....AMAZING.
A must watch, and in 1080p BluRay, FANTASTIC!
