An Intelligent depiction of the future

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2015)

District 9 is the debut movie of Neill Blomkamp featuring largely unknown actors depicting a future in which aliens are residing in Earth along with humans. The movie is presented in a mockumentary-style format with the actors speaking directly to the camera. The plot shows how a normal human is starting to turn into an alien due to being exposed to a mysterious liquid. The emotions captured by the actor are quite realistic and shows how any ordinary person would respond on knowing that he can no longer be a human. The story is quite intriguing which makes this a pleasant watch. However, I am surprised by how overwhelmingly positive reviews this movie has garnered as it has plenty of flaws as well. If you want to watch a slightly different science fiction movie, then give this a try.
