District 9 (2009)
Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.

I must admit I was skeptical about this film, as the trailer did nothing for my senses and even the premise seemed like something that's been done a hundred times before. But boy, was I in for a surprise! The film gets more interesting as it progresses, and is ultimately absolutely fantastic. It is a thrill ride of note with amazing action sequences and incredible visuals. Sharlo Copley is brilliant as Wikus van der Merwe, and deservedly won a few awards as Best Actor
The logic level and message are below Rambo XXIII. Oh i know there is no Rambo XXIII , guess why , the answer is they decide that they can not make a worse movie than District 9. OK some clues about movie , you find a bunch of alien but do not care about make any scientific survey , and let all these crowd to a poor 5.th world country boomers. No UN or Nasa or any other organization or country in the field. Ah by the time probably someone steal from the budget.
A very rare sighting indeed - an innovative and original sci fi movie, that is well written, well directed and well acted. And this is it. Extremely original. Great plot, which constantly channels your thoughts in one direction, only to wrong-foot you. Good direction, from an unknown director. Graphics are great, which is a given for a modern movie, but here the graphics are more subtle and take a backseat to the storyline, unlike the Michael Bay/James Cameron school of in-your- face all-style-no-substance direction.Great, gritty, natural acting from a cast of unknowns. With The Hurt Locker probably the most under-hyped and (pre-release) under-rated movie of 2009.Even if you don't like sci fi, watch this.
District 9 is a masterpiece in cinemas and I feel is underrated. First off, it has a realistic vibe to it. I love how this film was directed in a documentary style. The CGI is phenomenal and is years ahead of its time. The aliens look amazing. I'm glad Peter Jackson produced this film because he proved that he is the master of CG with King Kong and the LotR Trilogy. Overall this movie is awesome and I'm hoping for a new one soon enough.
