District 9 is one of the most entertaining and well done sifi moves of all time. The special effects were so good you could imagine it really existed. If they would only continue where they left off with a sequel!

10 /10
District 9 is a surreal and immersive sci-fi story that effectively uses the arrival of stranded aliens to tell a story about immigration. A lot of the substance gives way to great action filled with incredible special effects to create an emotional, poignant final act. The film helped put director Neill Blomkamp and actor Sharlto Copley on the map and reminded audiences that sci-fi films could be provocative and clever in a time overrun by one-note remakes and tired sequels.
