Superb

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"District 9" is a superb action and sci-Fi thriller. The great Neill Blomkamp superbly directed this picture, of which first 45 min. are mesmerizing. Later this movie becomes action flick, with some "Transformers" type action all over it. The second half of this movie isn't as good as the first ~45 min. but overall this movie is a superb. Opening plays like a high profile documentary which simply takes you to the place and makes you see things very purely. It is a superb film-making.
Overall, i'm giving this movie 10/10 despite the fact that second half of this movie isn't as original and exciting as the opening like 45 min. because overall this is a pure sci-fi done very, very good. It gets rid of all clichés from the beginning, and puts you right there with Wikus Van De Merwe. It's is superb film making by newcomer (then) Neill Blomkamp. Can't wait for his "Alien" sequel.
