Not as great as you've heard

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2009)

Everyone has been flipping out about "District 9" an I honestly don't see why. Sure the movie was good but that's all it was. Good. The acting was good. The characters were good. The story.....eh. If you thought this movie was going to be about a war between aliens and humans than your sadly mistaken. There is an actual plot. Not that that's a bad thing, I just wanted more than an average movie. I was becoming bored, and wanted more!!
Some of the special effects looked fake to me, though most were awesome. But what more can you expect on a low budget film? The character development was very good. Peter Jackson did a good job overall.
"District 9" is a breath of fresh air in Hollywood, but sure enough there will be "District 10".
