Fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2009)

I had high expectations for this film, and they were surpassed. The acting by the no name lead Sharlto Copley is tremendous, and the film is shot in a way that you never lose focus on what's going on. Films that have a budget of 5 or 6 times of this film are not as convincing. The special effects are top notch, and the writing/screenplay leaves no holes. The 30 million dollar budget is used more efficiently than any film in recent memory. Finally a sci-fi film that doesn't shy away from violence to achieve a PG-13 rating to fill the seats. If this film were made to achieve a PG-13 rating it wouldn't have been as good, war is violent, gunshots are bloody, and you see plenty of each in this film. See this movie, and lets get ready for District 10.
