District 9 (2009)

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2010)

90/100. What an amazingly imaginative film, and it has a totally unique plot and you can't help admire a filmmaker who can present something so unusual in an era known for borrowing plots from other films. This is not all flash and special effects, it has a real story to tell, and a very interesting one at that, with fine character development, realistic and stylish cinematography, it's brilliantly edited, and a heart pounding score that enhances the film. It's exciting with a pace that takes your breath away. The special effects are indeed special. This isn't a film just for sci-fi fans, it is an amazing tale of relationships and human behavior.
