When it comes to District 9, all I can say is "Wow." What a movie.
I had read quotes from Peter Jackson (who produced the movie), saying that we’ve never seen anything like District 9. I sorta rolled my eyes at that thinking, what else is he going to say?

This remarkable effort comes from first-time feature film director, South African Neill Blomkamp (who adapted District 9 from a short film he directed in 2005), and even more amazing is the lead, Sharlto Copley, a first-time actor from South Africa.

If you’re looking something that will just knock you back a few feet, District 9 is for you.
