Review:
This movie was so bad for me, I just couldn't seem to review it. I like Sci-Fi movies, however, my imagination has a hard time enjoying this one. I must be more of a Trekkie.
District 9 starts out with Aliens being held in a large concentration camp. The camp is going to be moved and scientists are going around collecting signatures of Aliens being evicted. Why would they have to collect signatures? How ridiculous!!! The Aliens are in a concentration camp!!!
The camera work at the start was dizzying and poor. I'm not sure what special effect was being created. The fact that I had to read subtitles when Aliens were speaking was annoying.
The real story was about an Alien becoming friends with a human. The Aliens are trying to return home and a human tries to help. The ending leaves no doubt for second movie.
(dripping sarcasm) I just can't wait.
I really can't say anything good about this movie except for some of the special high tech Alien weapons, which were pretty cool. I have no idea why other professional reviewers liked this movie!
