Abraham S Apr 21, 2019 I wound up really liking this movie. First, I liked the different take on the alien story (as compared to all the times we see them invade us). Secondly, with a mix of different styles (part found footage, part action, part satire....) this movie could have been very messy but it was pulled together very well for a great story and a great performance from Sharlto Copley really helped elevate this movie.

Abraham S Apr 7, 2019 An interesting take on alien invasion. As in, aliens come to Earth as refugees, not terrorists. It follows a man who works for the government and tries to transfer the creatures to a new district. Poverty is heavily messaged in this and they do it in a good way and makes you think, along with how we treat the lower class. Now, it started as "found footage" but then transitions to a cinematic theme, which I didn't prefer, but it was still well-executed. The main character did a good job, I felt bad for him for the stuff that came upon him. However, the movie does escalate really fast. I actually had to think for a second on what happened, but I was still very interested on what unfolded. There is a fair number of gun fights which really spiced up this Sci-Fi, very bloody and fast which I like. Now, I do recommend this movie not because it's action, but it's a unique way of explaining a fake story based on real life problems. A solid movie indeed. See more

Finn S Mar 22, 2019 excellent scify movie that proves it does not always take a big budget to prude a great movie.

Albus W Mar 19, 2019 District 9 suffers from too much inconsistency for me, particularly in the style of filming, and how humanity acts to finding aliens seems very unrealistic which seems to be ignored due to trying to get a commendable but basic political message. See more

Rey S Mar 17, 2019 It may have an obvious prejudice message, but it comes up with a surprisingly original sci-fi story to compensate it. The directing is very sharp by Neill Blomkamp, the action is very stylized and neat, and it comes with a gripping narrative that ends in strong ambiguity. The end result is something that is extremely entertaining, and I highly recommend watching it. See more
