Sci-Fi at its best !

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2009)

District 9 is easily one of the best Science fiction movies that I have seen for a long time. Neill Blomkamp is not yet 30, but has shown immense potential by churning out District 9 as it is from the sort of budget that we cannot associate with mainstream sci-fi movies in Hollywood. The characters have all been well etched out! My admiration for the movie only doubled after reading in IMDb that the actor Sharlto Copley had not acted before. He did give one steller performance.
Although the movie falls into the sci-fi genre, it was one of the very few which makes people believe that things that are being depicted, could have happened. Even after hours of watching the movie, I was still left thinking about the beauty of the characters and the plot and this, was precisely the driving factor behind me preaching the movie even after numerous people have already done the same !
