*Holly wood is famous for creating reality from fiction**. **This is so true for a movie like DISTRICT 9*
An 8.5 rating outa 10(imdb.com) for a movie is more than enough to define the greatness of the movie. When I heard about the movie has somthing unique I finally got time to watch it as I hardly find any variety with the alien concepts.
Story - How aliens and humans live together at a place where things are getting out of control and the govt have to do somthing to get rid of aliens. How cruel humans can behave with an extraterrestial for their own benefits, torchuring experiments and crude discoveries and eventually somthing good to feel proud not all humans are bad. The plot itself is the USP of the movie.
Direction - Neill Blomkamp has very well executed his directing skills and techniques.Being a visual effects specialists he has very well written story with the help of good screenplay and brilliant cinematography which resulted in a good movie.
Acting - Sharlto Copley has done a brilliant job as Wikus Van De Merwe his apathy when he is all alone to fight against his own race has been scripted and acted beautifully hats off for his expressions when he finds out the bitter truth about himself. 2 Special characters playing alines were very well crafted for the role. Others did the right thing at right time as per screenplay.
Effects - Neill himself being a visual effects expert it was not so difficult for him to come off with somthin like this but wht is more surprising is the concept of aliens, no other alien movie was so intense and exciting earlier except ET ofcourse.
Finally this movie fits in all Genre action drama more sci-fi horror cum thriller.
To wrap it up Good one from Niell. Hoping to see some more interesting plots like these.
