Best of the Summer, and...quite possibly...the year.

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2009)

'District 9' is simply phenomenal. Neill Blomkamp's directorial debut is a stunningly realistic and emotionally gripping sci-fi thriller with heavy racial undertones and the questioning of loyalty in society as excellent thematic elements.
Sharlto Coplay puts on a chillingly convincing performance and the visual effects are very well done. Jackson and Blomkamp have successfully transferred their creative energy into a film that is certainly worth your time. To not view the film this summer would be missing out on the most worthy of blockbuster sensations of the entire year.
