A Classic Franchise is Born !!!....

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2009)

God bless Peter Jackson & Neil Blomkamp for bringing relief in the flood of stupid & over-hyped offerings (read Transformers, Terminators etc.). District 9 should not be missed at any cost and there are valid reasons for this. First thing , the alien human conflict was NOT located in New York, LA, Chicago or London. It is based in Johannesburg, and aliens are contained in slums and not in hi tech enclosures. Realistic treatment to the issues associated with human-alien friction was so believable that I was totally absorbed in it. Although the shaky camera work was bit irritating some times, it was balanced by amazing shots of fighting sequence during climax. The make up, sound, editing, background music and visual effects were stand out. The main protagonist is very interesting to watch from his development from a human to an alien. Surprised to know that it was made on a mere budget of $ 30 million. It is much much better than any alien movie ever, perhaps it is the best ever. The ending sequence has already laid the foundation for District 10 and I will eagerly await for it.
