I'm not feeling it

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2013)

I tried watching District 9 for the first time some time ago, and i just lost interest in the first 15 minutes or so. But then i saw how high it was rated and decided to give it a shot. So i watched it today and i guess it's not my cup of tea, i just didn't like it.
The entire movie was unpleasant: the way the cameras moved and the recording style was sickening; i found the main character not to be very likable, he had an annoying accent and high pitched voice that made me hate him from beginning to end; there were also many disgusting stuff all the time (alien body fluids, mutating arms, blood everywhere, people eating crap...and so on), things that made me have a disgusted expression on my face throughout the hole thing.
I thought the story wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't put in a way that i thought was pleasing or interesting. I even got sympathetic with Christopher the alien and his little son at some point, but that was it, i just spent the entire movie wanting it to end. And so i don't really understand why it's so high rated, i guess it might really be a matter of taste...Although i like sci-fi movies, this one wasn't my style at all!
