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

rachNov 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 he…
Nick JMay 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,…

8.2/10 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
alma wa is "meh" onDistrict 9המסר חשוב מאוד הסרט משעמם טילים ברמה מייאשת לגמרי. הראו לנו אותו במסגרת שיעור מדעי הטכנולוגיה דבר שלא תרם לשעמום של הסרט. אם היו מקצרים אותו ברמה דרסטית זה היה טוב. קיצר אם אתם לא ממש משועממים או בשיעור מדעי הטכנולוגיה אני לא ממש ממליצה אבל זה לא נוראי אי אפשר לצפות. 4/10 על המסר

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 9A 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 doesn’t change overnight. 8
- Simon Olson lovedDistrict 9
Absolutely incredible movie, from the start I wasn’t 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! 9/10⭐️
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
Anthony Severtson likedDistrict 9I saw this once when I was younger and didn’t appreciate it. They did a fantastic job of creating empathy for an alien race

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.
