Don't believe the hype.

Rating: 7/10 (14 August 2009)

First off, I wanted to like this movie a lot considering I'm a huge sci-fi fan... but that didn't happen. The movie to me felt like a light action film. To me it was another Transformers movie that just so happened to have the subject matter of aliens. District 9 just didn't feel like the realistic sci-fi movie you were hoping for. This was a movie you wanted to take serious but instead you got an action adventure. I would give this movie a 6.5/10. I rounded up to 7/10 because the movie was technically well made. Unfortunately, in this day and age of mediocrity, I'm afraid District 9 will rise up as "king among crap".
