Review

   D9. You may very well have heard about this movie as it's one of thee most obsessed over pictures I have ever seen. Now I understand why! It's a really good movie.

   I thought District 9 was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I approached it after seeing Elysium (Neil Blomkamp's second blockbuster) and, as Elysium was quite good, I came to D9 with very high expectations. Especially with all the hype that's made about it by fans and the general geek population. I have got to say, not only was D9 as good as it's supposed to be, it was better (and here's the big "oh no Sam, surely not! That's impossible") than Elysium. Dun Dun Dun!!!!! There, I said it! For once, they're right. The original is better than the sequel (well, technically Elysium isn't a sequel to D9, just a "from the creators of" movie. 

     They put this movie on very well, especially since it was made for a mere 30 million. Pocket money for everyone! I usually hate movies where the main character seems evil until the very last 5 minutes (PS: There may be spoilers in this review), but Blomkamp's flick was great! I highly suggest it! And, you know me! That, for me, is like me saying that a movie has a halo or something. In fact, I can hardly think of anything to say to mock it!(That's the second "oh no Sam, surely not! That's impossible")

Summary

     District 9 is the first blockbuster film by film maker Neil Blomkamp. It was made in 2009 after Blomkamp's flick, "Halo," fell through. It had a budget of a mere 30 Million and...... Nah, I'm not going to be that boring and computer like for this whole summary! D9 is about a government agent who works for MNU: The agency that is in charge of moving aliens (dubbed prawns) from District 9 to District 10 (both homes that were given to them by the humans when they're broken ship landed on earth.) The agent (if you remember him) gets injected with some sort of liquid made by the prawns that starts turning him into a prawn. He goes on the run from the government who want to kill him!

Parental Guidance Information

     Okay, let me tell you a nice little bedtime story! It stars a creepy guy who play really scary characters in other stories, who is a real dirty mouth, and who is on the run from the government with a creepy prawn arm, and a lot of weapons that make people blow up with chunks of blood flying everywhere. Also, he is accused of raping an alien. And oh!, did I mention?: He is very liberal with the word fuck! Good night little kids, don't let this creepy story scare you!

     You guessed it, that story is actually direct patent fraud from the idea of D9 (not really illegal!) D9 has tons of bloody violence, your daily dose of swearing, and a boatload of sexual references! I'm not trying to influence your decision on whether to take your kids, but don't!
