Went to see District 9 today and it was awesome. I can only best describe it as a curious mix between a thought-provoking sci-fi and a (gruesome and) satisfying action flick. Peter Jackson, Neill Blomkamp & Terri Tatchell have really managed to pull off a believable parallel universe, in which aliens have inexplicably stumbled across Earth and ended up as refugees to a hostile world (hence the name, District 9, their refugee camp), which doesn’t want them there. The movie blends in a narration style, like that of a documentary, to add to the feeling of being based in reality, but the rest of it follows the path of an unlikely (anti-)hero. The acting is also superb, which isn’t always the case in the sci-fi genre. I won’t tell you more than you already discover in the first 5 minutes of the movie, but it’s one that will leave you thinking, but satisfied none-the-less.
