the best film of 2009 - By: A. Reader, 19 Mar 2010 
This film deserved more accolades than it got. It is powerful & thought provoking and, as such films should be, uncomfortable viewing. Ultimately, the film is about hope & redemption.
Superb, raw, not too sci-fi. can't wait for a sequel ! - By: NAC6562, 18 Mar 2010 I watched this film twice on transatlantic plane journeys then came home & just had to have the proper DVD experience. Its a fantastic film with twists & vision of what could happen one day.
The special effects were great, storyline was plausiblein context, a kind of documentary to start with then morphing into a real drama.
Probably one of the best films i have seenin the last year.
Please do not buy/rent/watch this - By: Mr. P. Curtis, 14 Mar 2010 
District 9 is the worst kind of film. It has an original & innovative underlying concept that has the potential to create a "must have" film. Unfortunately this gives the viewer a glimmer of hope that this atrocious film will improve. It keeps you with your finger lightly resting on the stop button as you endure every stupid & ill thought out plot twist. I kept asking myself, is this meant to be a comedy? Sadly, the answer is no. There are a few moments of action & interest that keep that glimmer of hope alive until you reach the end. Unfortunately this just gives way to a disappointing & illogical ending. Sad.
This film robbed me of 112 minutes of my life. Please don't let it do the same to you.
Awesome. - By: Mr. D. L. Selwood, 14 Mar 2010 One of the best films ive seen for years. Dont think ive watched a film as intently as i did with this, literally kept me glued to the screen. Very shockingin some places. Shows human naturein its true form, greed, selfish need for power, among other things which really open our eyes & sum us up. If you have an open mind & your into si-fi things & politics, this is well worth a watch. Ignore the negative reviews, people are closed minded & obviously don't understand this film.
District 9 - By: Matt 'the bear', 11 Mar 2010 
Dissapointed with this film.
The trailers made it look like a serious epic. High drama, no expense speared film.
However, i did not know weather or not to take this film seriously. Thought the graphics were poor. The story line was poor.
I got the impression there was a hidden messagein the story line. The film is basically about how humans are so racist, destructive & generally none tollerent of other people. Especially thought the setting of South Africa was a little bit too far given the history there.
Didn't enjoy it at all. Seemed like its purpose was to send a msg to the world rather then to create a good, enjoyable film.
Poor. Not worth watching.
