I thought this was a very well made film and had much deeper meaning than what was being portrayed, especially as it was set in South Africa. I don’t think the film would have the same film if it was made in Hollywood and had American actors/actresses.
I love the way it was filmed almost like a documentary at the start and had a almost comical feel to it but then got more movie like as the film went on and the feeling became less comical.
Not only were the CGI top notch, but the narrative is driven through a believable plot. Watching this film made me believe that a situation as such had occurred on Earth, and therefore the far fetched notion of an extra terrestrial race visiting us becomes so close to a reality through a story that is so realistically depicted.
District 9 is a beautifully crafted film which shows signs of great promise for being around for a while, a subject talked about by many people. Can’t wait to watch this again with my friends
