Profound. Breathtaking. Flawless.

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2009)

I've seen many good movies lately, with a breath-taking effect and with well written stories. I've seen them many but I never lived one myself.
Not until today.
Watching District 9 turned out to be more than enjoying a show at the cinema. More than making your heart pump the blood times faster. Even more than believing what you see. Watching District 9 means living it to the point where you have no doubt that what is happening there is an absolute imminent reality, even though you never saw an alien before. And this is just the beginning -- what really makes your stomach freeze is the idea that while you hate those people in the movie, you realize that they're so much like you. At times the movie might be depressing, but the counterweight of this, which is much more important, is its purpose: to make you think.
Thumbs up, hats down, amazing work, beautiful actors, perfect screenplay, I love this movie.
