Mind blowingly awesome and effective and occasionally funny.

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2009)

In the month of August two fantastic movies were released. The first one was District 9. A week later, my favorite movie of the year, Inglourious basterds came out. I finally just saw District 9 and I thought" Some of the fantastic things about Inglourious Basterds are involved here". That is very true.
For example, Christoph Waltz in Inglourious basterds was one of the best performances of the decade. Besides Heath Ledger's Joker. The thing about Waltz is that you'd never even heard about him before. The same thing goes with District 9's lead actor. Sharlto Copely. We have never heard of him before and he does such an excellent job. I can't wait to see more of Waltz and Copely.
For some stupid reason, apparently, the producers wouldn't give Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp the money to do a Halo movie. I don't know why. They gave them money for Aliens in the attic. I'm telling you America is getting stupid. Anyways, so they decided to make this. That was probably the better decision. Because is one of the best movies of the year.
Sharlto Copely stars as Wickus, a guy who is sent out to evict Aliens from out of their slum-like homes. His life changes when he is infected by this oil looking stuff. As Wickus goes on, he starts to decay and becomes a fugitive and helps the aliens, nicknamed Prawns, out.
The visuals in the film are mind blowing. And a ton of the action sequences are awesome. The weapons that they use blow people into pieces. It's kind of funny. This film is actually kind of sad too. Because Wickus' life falls apart. He starts to lose fingernails, his arm turns into an Prawns.
Also, District 9, though entirely fictional, has a way of showing like what the world is like in some countries. The movie is weird also. There is alien prositution going on. It's weird, funny, and amazing. You got to see it.
