Gronk!

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2009)

District 9 is told from the perspective of a retroactive documentary, with the actual movie filling in the events between the commentaries. When the movie initially began, I wasn't sure if this was going to be any good with this style of storytelling.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I think that part of the joy of this movie is to discover the storyline for yourself, and so I will not rehash it here. Suffice it to say that once the interesting plot line gets going it REALLY gets going, with characters that I found I cared about in the end, even Wickus whom I didn't really like at the beginning. The ending was rather touching and left the door wide open to a sequel that I would be sure to see as well.
I give this movie an 8.5, it is worth more than the price of admission.
