Certainly a disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (15 August 2009)

I expected "District 9" to be a really great movie. The trailer looked great, the posters looked great and I heard good reports about it. But, I must say this movie was a real disappointment. I didn't really enjoy it.
District 9 is basically about aliens that come to earth and are forced to live in very poor conditions in an area called District 9 (located in Johannesburg, South Africa). Their spaceship is not able to fly them out of Earth and so they are stuck in District 9. The humans then try and move the aliens (known as prawns) from District 9 to District 10 which is newer and further away from the city making the humans more relaxed. But that is when the trouble starts...
This movie is made in the style of a documentary. The plot was great and if they had expanded on that and made the movie more interesting and exciting then this movie would have been great. Which is a pity because I had high expectations for this movie.
