Epic fail

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2009)

I am a die-hard sci-fi fan. I knew what the premise of the film was and decided to see this flick. I have never seen a more heaping pile of garbage than this film. I registered on IMDb specifically to warn people to ignore the empty hype. It tries to be CloverField, Blairwitch while trying to be an intelligent film. It is NOT. Great premise, absolutely horrible execution, if any at all. There are many bad movies out there, but this one should win an award for reaching new heights of stupidity. I have seen others on here compare this film to "The Day the Earth Stood Still." (1951) Don't insult the intelligence and brilliance of that timeless film, it had a great premise and it was brilliantly executed. District 9 is a whole lot of noise I am sad to say because I believe those involved in this project had good intentions. Nonetheless: epic fail and easily forgotten. Don't waste your time or money.
