Awesome movie

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2009)

District 9 does what a lot of movies claim to do but don't - it stays interesting and exciting right to the end. The movie actually seems like someone with a sense for story was involved in the script writing for once. It's refreshing after having paid to see a list of movies that promised these things over the last while and did not deliver even in the remotest sense. If you read, and want a movie that doesn't have you sitting in a theater embarrassed that you've been sucked into being there...and by that I mean terrible films like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Inglourious Basterds, Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins, and the written-for-slow-twelve-year-olds list goes on ... than you should see this. It's awesome. Really. Best movie I've seen in a while at a theater...the only good movie I've seen in a while at a theater.
