District 9 and It's Very Realistic Setting Will Surprise You

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2009)

I went into this movie, not thinking much about it, since there really wasn't all that much hype for it. As I sat down in my seat, and the film started, I knew I was watching something new.
It starts off with a cloverfield-esquire to it. Documenting various people and their thoughts on the aliens etc. The main actor, Sharlto Copley, has a great breakthrough performance, it being his first in a feature film. I do not want to give too much away because this film needs to be watched the whole way through for complete satisfaction. From start to finish it is a wonderful ride that dives through every emotion. During this movie, you will feel sad for the aliens. You will want them to succeed. This is an outstanding movie, that made me angry when something created from a computer was killed. This movie is a journey through the corrupt humans and their desires for power. Peter Jackson's name comes with the movie because it is on par with one of his. The director, Neill Blomkamp, does a superb job to immerse the viewer with this extremely realistic world, where aliens exist. It is not a dream, they are here, and they have a plan. That plan is to get home.
