Great Movie Despite Minor Flaws

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2009)

Despite some issues with the plot and that it is silly to assume that Americans will leave the alien tech to some corporation from South Africa, this movie is still awesome. Plot is original, performances are great, especially the lead. It is fun to watch, it is not dumb, it has great CGI where needed. It was just exhilarating to watch.
I am not so sure a successor movie is a good idea, though. If they are going to do it, it will probably end like "independence day". I hope not...
"District 9" also helped me to create a successful rule on whom to get movie advice:
-> If one calls this movie "a bad movie", I don't trust a word they say about movies.
