Ingenious Film

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2009)

District 9 is amazing. The beginning is a news broadcast, which serves to bring a sense of real-time to the film. The film revolves around the tension between the aliens living in district 9, and the surrounding inhabitants of Johannesburg. The main character seems to toe the line in his struggle between morality and his own desire to keep his life unchanged. There is plenty of action and violence. The movie is exciting. The special effects are awesome. I haven't rated a movie 10/10 in a long time, but this one deserves a ten for it's ingenuity. It's a modern classic.. . . I have to type ten lines? wow its tough to get to ten.
