Newcomer Neill Blomkamp is a force to be reckoned with

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2013)

A sensational and monumental genre-bending film that does everything right, throwing all the Sci Fi stereotypes out the window and keeps the plot smart and thrilling. The design of the ships and prawns are all very original and creative. District 9 also features themes that are horrifyingly familiar but are dealt with in new and inventive ways. Featuring a breakout performance from powerhouse Sharlto Copley, phenomenal CGI and an amazing sense of realism, District 9 is an unrivaled slice of brilliance and originality. It's one of my favorite films of all time, because it dares to do something truly unique and succeeds incredibly well at everything it sets out to do. An Incredible film.
