One of the Best Sci-Fi Movies I have seen

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2016)

I enjoyed this movie so much that I decided to create an account just to say so.
I love science fiction. I enjoy the possibilities presented and the imagination of everyone involved. I watch movies (and read books) to escape for a while, and science fiction helps me do that very well.
Most of the sci-fi movies that I've seen over the past decade are predictable and not very mentally stimulating. So despite great ratings for District 9 here on IMDb and on other sites, I approached it with trepidation, and it was only this week that I finally decided to give the movie a chance.
And what a movie it is!
There is no famous face on the screen, but every actor is brilliant. The story grabs you right from the start and does not let go till the very end. Just when you think you know which way the story is headed, it changes direction. Brilliantly paced and excellently told, this movie is a must for any fan of the genre. I don't want to go into too much detail because I want you to enjoy this movie as much as I did.
I started watching with the belief that I would be disappointed because I would be expecting too much, but District 9 delivered, and delivered memorably well.
