Sounds like a good movie since I saw the trailer, maybe I'll watch it later.

What is "District 9"---an idea, a movie, a mirage, an inspiration or an aspiration? My assessment is that this movie is the epitome of a high level of human creativity and imagination, brought to life in a very practical and realistic way. In fact, seven hours after watching the movie, i am still trying to determine what I saw. A movie should be able to raise one's intellectual possibilities while entertaining the individual, at the same time. In other instances, it should spark an inner excitement of novelty and wonder, on the basis of the schema and structure of the subject matter in the movie. This movie does just that.
Apparently, it is a movie in its own class. While most of the main actors in the movie are unheard of, they all performed brilliantly, to the extent that they were all able to firmly hold one's attention for almost 2 hours. This includes the aliens whom i was unsure were real or computer generated. Either way, their act was seamless and very realistic. The movie had a few things in common with an earlier sci-fi movie, "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise.
While "District 9" had no intellectual or moral value, at least to me, as a sci-fi movie, it blends technology with real drama, thriller, and action. I beleive this rare combination of genres into one movie, is what set it apart. By the end of the movie, as Peter Jackson almost always does in all his movies, the possibility of a sequel to "District 9" appears to be more than a fleeting reality.
I have never been disappointed with Peter Jackson's skilled merging of reality and computer generated elements. He does it so well that we all had a hard time identifying where reality starts and where it ends. Peter Jackson does a great job in drawing the viewer into the emotional and physiological needs of the aliens, while unusually neglecting the mundane selfish needs/ends of humans. In a way, the movie's strategy unusually humanizes aliens, unlike any other sci-fi movie we have seen before. Again, this observation is what adds to the unique nature of the movie.
All in all, I would give the movie a 4.5 out of 5. If escapism and good drama/thriller, is what you seek this summer, then this is the movie for you. Well done Peter Jackson.

I went and saw it a couple days ago because everyone kept saying how original it was and that it was one of those must see movies, but I didn't like it. I didn't really see anything in the movie that hadn't been kicked around in science fiction (especially books) for years. I was actually kind of bored, rather than excited, and I didn't get bored watching 2001: A Space Odyssey which was a slower paced movie. About the most involved I got in it was frustration over how stupid Wikus was (which doesn't normally bother me that much, I don't know why it did here) and shooting the pig at the guy. That was epic.
