The best thing to do before deciding to watch a movie is to read reviews about it from different corners, by doing that you'll get a picture of how it would fare for you. That's my way of doing it so I guess it would also be good for so people who think like me. Anyways, for those who haven't seen the movie District 9, here are some District 9 movie reviews from the different corners of the web:
from MoviesOnline.ca:
Everything about this film is ridiculously awesome. It has enough to satisfy hard core sci-fi geeks and drooling fanboys, as well as casual viewers looking for a fun rollercoaster ride. It's the kind of movie that people complain they don't make anymore.
from Horror-movies.ca:
District 9 is a true tour de force debut; it has a robust story, well-drawn characters, emotional, superb action, and solid direction and will keep you interested from beginning to end. It’s a smart, socially conscious science-fiction film that requires audience attention and the audience thinking about the situations and what is going on. D9 is one of the best science fiction films of recent years and in my book, ties with The Hurt locker for being the best film of the summer.
from Bryanlyt.com:
- One of the BEST science fiction movies i’ve ever seen! If you’re a Sci-Fi movie fan, you must srsly watch this!
- It’s based on faux-documentary style like the Cloverfield movie
- Camera shakiness added more genuine feel to the movie, but at certain point i had some slight headache LOL (though the shakiness in Cloverfield movie was much worse!)
- Good visual effects and commentary throughout the movie. Considering it’s a $30 million low budget movie, it didn’t felt like it (as opposed to Transformers 2 which was $200 million budget movie).
- The front part of the movie, could have added more elements into it or probably cut it short, the movie started kinda slow and draggy but it was fast in the latter part
- Wrenching, riveting and somewhat violence throughout the movie
- The main cast was great, considering District 9 was his very first movie involved, fresh new actor you see…
- I thought I’d know what’s gonna come next but eventually i didn’t. And the people in the cinema were just:
“Urghhh… Aaahhh… Ewww… Wooo… Yeahhh… etc etc…”
- Some parts might make you feel uncomfortable lol!
*Hint: finger nails, tooth, and many more…
- Ohh and the creepy feeling i felt when the humans and aliens are living together in a city omg, what if it’s real LOL?
- Talking about aliens, their weaponry were so DAMN AWESOMEEE!!! Watch the movie and you’ll know…
- Something tells me that District 10 movie is gonna be the next sequel prior to this current movie

District 9 was genuinely original and all around high quality. the plot didn't drag at all and, while it had ton of cool technology and action scenes, it was also obviously meant to say about about... well, something i'm sure; i'll have to think about it more and see if i can figure it out
