Not the regular aliens movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2009)

District 9 turns out be an interesting watch, thanks to the novel plot of incorporating the illegal immigrants factor into it. Very much akin to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" which shattered myth about aliens and traversed a unexplored terrain, District 9 attempts to mime the same (well, you are free to debate with me here).
The characterisation of the protagonist, Wikus is neat - a typical next-door-neighbour kinds. Performance of Sharlto Copley deserves a special mention. He gets a meaty-pie and a role of a lifetime to showcase his talent to the global audience.
CGI's - simply put, are top-notch. Extremely fluid and unless your mind does a reality check you would be led to believe that they are for real.
The documentary style of narrative was interesting but in hind-sight one wonders if it was really warranted. A few potholes in the plot can be safely ignored.
Well, the ending is kind of open-ended and for sure there would be a sequel out in near future.
