Interesting and unusual science fiction

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2013)

District 9 is one of the most unusual films I have ever seen. I'm a big fan of science fiction films and have seen quite a number of them, yet this is a unique film. Most sci-fi films are futuristic or have a simple good-vs-bad plot. In contrast, District 9 is a more realistic portrayal of what would actually happen if aliens landed on earth. I like how the aliens were unlike what one comes to expect in these types of film.
Although the plot is intriguing and more mysterious than most films involving this subject matter, I found some of it hard to believe and ludicrous. Nevertheless, the film is exciting and you just never know what to expect.
Kudos to the director for making such an interesting film and pulling it off for the most part.
