4 Thoughts On District 9

1. I myself am not a fan of sci-fi, but District 9 is one of the most unique films in the genre's recent history.
2. Sharlto Copely needs to crossover to American film ASAP.
3. The transition from a film that appears to be a fictional documentary to a standard narrative plot is seamless and keeps the movie fresh throughout its entire 2 hour duration.
4. To reiterate, I do not like sci-fi. Please do not get all worked up over my rating.

Rating: 6
Rating Breakdown:
2 points - Wikus van de Merwe (Sharlto Copely)
4 points - What part of "I do not like sci-fi" don't you understand? Ultra realistic sci-fi however, is enough to earn rating points.
