An unforgettable Alien movie with a wider scope about the Aliens

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2018)

Out of many films about extraterrestrial species that I've watched arguably District 9 is the best.
Out of many reasons as to why I would regard it as that ; the most important is the fact that the Aliens are depicted in a much wider scope and with a lot of personality in this film.
Specially, the lead Alien character Christopher along with the leading performance by Sharlto Copley as Wikus carries this wonderful story on their shoulders and executes the plot to perfection.
This film is also about how malignant human beings can be to our own species where they don't blink to betray our own at the face of financial benefits which are sunk deep in technological advancements.
Certain characters in this film almost make us feel how far our basic human values would deplete for the greed of power and money in this technologically advancing World.
Colonel Koobus and Piet Smit are those worst strains of humanity.
The film maintains an emotional grip throughout the film which would keep you totally invested in its plot unfolding.
Specially, Wikus whose wonderful character arch with his own insecurities make him feel compassionate about the Aliens which in turn would make us feel compassionate about him.
Anyone who is a fan of science fiction films wouldn't wanna miss this one equipped with fantastic visual effects, action sequences, and masterfully layered emotional grip which keeps you invested from start to finish.
