I actually think District 9 got better as it went along. Once it got past the apartheid analogy and started concentrating on the desperate situation of the protagonists, the movie really picked up and its imperfect but realistic ending lent well to the hand-held camera style of film making. Neil Bloomkamp is a name to look for, and from the buzz I'm hearing he's considering picking the Halo project back up again, nd I think that would be fantastic.

District 9was one of those movies that made you think after the credits rolled, and any movie that does that deserves a nomination, IMO.
