    • Blomkamp doesnt give a full enough picture of human alien relations and Copleys relationship with a prawn and its son edges into sentimentality, but District 9 fuses science fiction mayhem and biting social commentary as well as any film since Starship Troopers. ( Read More )
    • District 9 is the most audacious sci fi action film since The Matrix and there can be no higher praise than that. ( Read More )
    • Marc Savlov

      District 9 is a wrenching, riveting, occasionally violent, often heartbreaking, and, above all, socially conscious science fiction film featuring seamlessly integrated CGI effects alongside flat out perfect performances from its flesh and blood actors, and, best of all, its a love story.In short, its the most original and entertaining sci fi film in ages.

    • Joshua Rothkopf

      Wikus becomes a fugitive, the film alternating between Abu Ghraib like torture scenes and libertarian John Carpenter heroics.District 9 has too many gory vaporizations to qualify as a serious statement on race relations, but it does outclank Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by a wide margin, and you thrill to the cleanly cut action sequences.

    • Tom Huddlestone

      Perhaps were witnessing a new dawn for politically engaged sci fi and horror, with Blomkamp as a latter day George Romero. Either way, this is a stunningly impressive debut. ( Read More )
