I felt that the first 45 minutes of the movie was spectacular. But it kind of went downhill towards the end. Still, where are we at with Sci-Fi this year? Moon and now District 9. With two solid films I can't complain too much.

I liked how this movie payed OBVIOUS homage to Peter Jackon's pre-LOTR days. I'm talking the Braindead days where he went wayyyyyy over the top with gore and blood. I really liked how the Prawn's weapons just liquefied the humans, very satisfying.

The aliens looked amazing too...CGI has come a long way. I mean this movie had what? a 30 million dollar budget? And it gave Transformers 2 and it's 200 million dollar budget a run for the money.

Honestly, I will have to see District 9 again. I really liked the dystopia introduction and the surgery part of the film and the whole evil corporation theme. The action was fun too but it stole some of the cerebral sci-fi.
