thought provoking,and nearly a masterpiece down to the powerful final frame

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2009)

Just got back from seeing district 9 and have not 1 negative thing to say about it.The film is highly original and deeply complex ( in a good way)the visual effects were mind blowing for 30 mil,blompkamp has proved that he is here to stay and is someone to watch out for.I left the theater with chills and hope.The movie very much parallels multiple things happening in real life.I cant think of enough praise for this film,this just goes to show that (well and "moon") intelligent sc-fi is not dead and with avatar around the corner might just be experiencing a Renaissance. everyone in my theater clapped and felt different because this is sc-fia nd your not supposed to feel this way.and with the academy's desicion to allow for 10 best picture nominees this very well might just be one this year.Best movie in a long time thank you neil.That final shot made me cry 10/10
