DISTRICT 9 (Theatrical Release USA 2009)


Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Stars

District 9—creative film—uses 'found footage' for its formatting. That choice creates a certain likableness for the movie as well as establishing a realism to the story. This is a suitable to okay watch that does not consistently follow movie protocol which hampers its logical and clear presentation. Watch for the performance of Sharlto Copley, some realistic action scenes, and interesting alien activity. The animation technology of the aliens is very realistic.
