That rare thing - an alien film that actually makes you think

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2009)

District 9 is a highly engaging and thrilling alien film, and one of the few films of this genre which actually makes you sit back and think. With nods to The Fly, Robocop and even Black Hawk Down it was a film that I really enjoyed.
Using the perhaps unorthodox step of extra-terrestrials to make a poignant and striking film about racial tensions, but with enough explosions, action and hi-tech weaponry to avoid feeling too worthy...
I would seriously recommend trying to catch this film, and would whole-heartedly encourage you to avoid being too judgemental and just sit back, become absorbed and enjoy the ride.
