Sure! I liked this. It really just gets better as it goes on. It started out kinda messy imo, mainly in itโs editing. I also just feel like it couldโve gone a bit further with what it wanted to say. But all that aside this is a good movie.

victoriaMay 6, 2013Design-wise this is still totally astounding, but that's sort of where it stops. That the found footage gimmick is dropped whenever it's inexpedient isn't so much a problem (honestly who cares?) as it is a symptom of a muddled metaphor (bluntly, incessantly hammered home,โฆ
matt lynchNov 18, 2018A film trying to be an allegory about apartheid and refugees isn't as effective when the refugees are violent man-eating aliens and the only reason the mustache-twirling comically villainous bureaucrat suddenly has a change of heart and wants to help them is because heโฆ

Really fuckin weird manโฆโฆplot was boring, acting was mid, and the overall message of it all fell flat.
Aidan White likedDistrict 98.2/10 one of the more unique films i have ever seen with some very obvious social commentary - the contrast between the character at the beginning and end of the film is very cool too - the CGI is also very good

This movie is so bad it was so annoying. Was not interesting just gross but people
amyy likedDistrict 9awww the flower
Stoofman is "meh" onDistrict 9I'll give it a "meh," but it's literally on the doorstep of "like," I just don't see myself watching this again/I wasn't invested. Yes, 8Md like to see a sequel/prequel, but there wasn't anything special, honestly, I expected more, kind of underwhelming, regardless it was fun
- Bennie likedDistrict 9
A very original film combining social commentary with action effectively. A sharp, and on the nose, metaphor for real life issues, tackling themes of xenophobia, segregation, and human cruelty. Small acts of solidarity matter, even if the system doesnโt change overnight. 8
Simon Olson lovedDistrict 9Absolutely incredible movie, from the start I wasnโt sure how it was going to be but it really turns up pretty quick. It was a lot more sad than I thought it was going to be, and you really do start feeling for the aliens as the movie progresses. Highly recommend! 9/10โญ๏ธ
Justin Friedly likedDistrict 9Great movie loved the concept and the documentary style filming was done really well. It was also a unique take on making first contact definitely recommend

No true fan of science fiction -- or, for that matter, cinema -- can help but thrill to the action, high stakes and suspense built around a very original chase movie.
