"District 9" is one of those movies that everyone talks about and you seem to be the only one who haven't seen it yet. That being said, I invited some friends over and watched it. The impression I got from the first minutes was: what an absurd storyline! I mean, aliens living (legally) on Earth feels too eccentric for my taste. However, as the movie goes, I got used with the idea. In fact, in some scenes I felt sorry for some invaders being so badly treated by humans. The movie DOES have great special effects, but its lack of thrilling moments made me feel like I was seeing another science fiction blockbuster. It's too few of a thriller. Acting is just normal. Also, maybe a better writing would've left me more satisfied. In the end, "District 9" is nothing more than an average flick.
