A bloody, shoot um' up, alien action flick AWESOME!

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2010)

District 9 is a truly original science fiction action flick that has been missing from modern film for a long time. It is such an original drama, even those not into the science fiction genre will find it believable . Also, it deals with many modern issues; racism, military privatization, forced evictions etc.
One cannot say enough about the special effects and CGI. There is just something really freaking cool about seeing aliens and monsters shot on hand held cameras! Speaking of aliens, the aliens in this movie have a real bad attitude, and are much more intimating then Avatars.
If you haven't seen it yet, take the academy's best picture nod as a reason to. Just think of Avatar only gritty, unforgiving, and much more brutal.
