Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This movie is so original and nice, that I am not going to take points off for some over the top action sequences that take a bit from its genre and concept cutting nature. Like all sci fi master-peaces, this movie poses quite a few questions, gives us new perspective, that has not been explored enough if at all. And the frightening comments about aliens are even better when you learn that they were genuine, made about the human aliens i.e. refugees. But there is much more going on. This is a must see movie and a defining movie of the 21st century sci fi genre.
Out of many films about extraterrestrial species that I've watched arguably District 9 is the best. Out of many reasons as to why I would regard it as that ; the most important is the fact that the Aliens are depicted in a much wider scope and with a lot of personality in this film. Specially, the lead Alien character Christopher along with the leading performance by Sharlto Copley as Wikus carries this wonderful story on their shoulders and executes the plot to perfection. This film is also about how malignant human beings can be to our own species where they don't blink to betray our own at the face of financial benefits which are sunk deep in technological advancements. Certain characters in this film almost make us feel how far our basic human values would deplete for the greed of power and money in this technologically advancing World. Colonel Koobus and Piet Smit are those worst strains of humanity. The film maintains an emotional grip throughout the film which would keep you totally invested in its plot unfolding. Specially, Wikus whose wonderful character arch with his own insecurities make him feel compassionate about the Aliens which in turn would make us feel compassionate about him. Anyone who is a fan of science fiction films wouldn't wanna miss this one equipped with fantastic visual effects, action sequences, and masterfully layered emotional grip which keeps you invested from start to finish.
