District disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (7 September 2013)

Wow. It's movie is just bloody awful. I was very interested in seeing this after hearing good things but not knowing really what to expect. I knew it was a sci FI movie so I was excited at the least. Well if I hadn't of gone with someone else I would've just walked out after an hour of this movie. I recently watched it again to see if its as bad as I remember and it's even worse.
To begin with the characters suck. The main character is suppose to have a gift of some sort, be different but in this movie the main character is just a big pussy. It's very hard to watch because the main characters role is just so bad. All the aliens speak their own language but can understand English. All the humans can understand the alien language but speak English. If everyone understands the same language why don't they just speak it throughout the movie?! Also the "love" between the man and his wife is badly construed. I didn't even know they like each other till half way threw the film and she still doesn't seem to like him much till even later.
The directing is horrible as shots are too shaky, too many close ups, and the documentary style filming is over used and really boring in this film.
The plot is terrible. Well I mean all 4 of the plots are because there's a million things going on a once and non of witch make any sense. Most websites say that the plot is this man has half alien DNA and can operate alien weapons so the military tries hunting him down for this very reason. It's hard to see this as the plot considering it doesn't it doesn't come in till 45 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE! The absolute dumbest plot element has to be that the aliens gasoline can turn things into aliens. Think about that. Their gasoline TURNS PEOPLE INTO GASOLINE. Not only does it power their space ships but it has magically the absolute perfect biology to turn human DNA into alien. They're aliens, not viruses and even for a SCI FI movie, this is poorly thought out and unbelievable. Something else that's stupid is that all the humans want is to get rid of the aliens and send them back to the mother ship. As it turns out the only thing the aliens want is to get back to the mother ship so it can be fixed. It seems however that the writer forgot about this fact as the humans go threw great length to "evict" the aliens which somehow have human rights now. If everyone hates everyone why don't the humans just take the aliens back to the mother-ship and be rid of them? Then there would be no point to this horrible movie. There are so many plot wholes and too many things don't make sense. I wonder when they threw the plot together if they actually thought about or were crushed for time so just said "F this" and moved on.
It's a shame that it was so poorly thought out and produced because there's something here that old have been great. The last 30 minutes are good but it's not enough to save the rest of the film.
In short this movie is absolutely horrible. Utter trash. There's something good hidden in the film but its surrounded by horrible characterization, bad plot, and other bad ideas. I could rant for hours about how bad this film is and all the things that don't make sense but it just comes down to skip this film and its a shame that is wasn't thought out well.
