Mostly boring and badly presented

Rating: 2/10 (2 January 2014)

The presentation of this movie is horrible. I wasn't even sure I could survive watching it after watching the first 20 minutes . I watched Elysium right before this one and enjoyed Elysium despite the worse reviews. The first half of District 9 feels like a history lesson or like watching the news (which is quite boring in my opinion). Second half of the movie was better, but honestly not worth the excruciating first hour. The aliens are kind of creative, and the plot isn't too horrible but it's not acted out well. I didn't notice any good music tracks which is too bad, because good music can really add solid emotion. In fact, even the emotional parts felt really bland in this movie. I would never watch this movie a second time.
