Review of District 9 (2009)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 03 Sep 2009

District 9 is one of the best films of the year and it marks director Neill Blomkamp out as a definite talent to watch…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 03 Sep 2009

With a relentless pace and seamless effects, this offbeat alien invasion thriller combines non-stop action with real emotion and provocative…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for News of the World (402) on 03 Sep 2009

Movie lightning has struck here, big time…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Mike Mccahill (552) for Scotsman (1,471) on 03 Sep 2009

The creature effects, overseen by Jackson's WETA workshop, are first-rate, but this appears to be one of those instances where the hype seems…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Larushka Ivan-Zadeh (441) for Metro (UK) (700) on 03 Sep 2009

District 9 socks you with humour, gore and fast-paced action and it never feels worthy, while delivering an unexpectedly touching reflection…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for CinePassion (694) on 03 Sep 2009

Intriguing but ultimately jejune space-bug yarn…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Tom Huddlestone (75) for Time Out (7,510) on 03 Sep 2009

Perhaps we're witnessing a new dawn for politically engaged sci-fi and horror, with Blomkamp as a latter-day George Romero…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 03 Sep 2009

A thundering blitzkrieg of seat-rattling entertainment with a sociopolitical message; a cerebral sci-fi and apartheid allegory that is as heavily…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 03 Sep 2009

An entertaining, technically superb if faintly unsatisfying futuristic thriller…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Dan Brightmore (12) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 03 Sep 2009

Fiendishly plotted and with awesomely kinetic (and outrageously bloody) action scenes, Blomkamp announces himself in a major way, without letting…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Simon Reynolds (297) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 03 Sep 2009

District 9 is 2009's second hugely impressive sci-fi film after Moon. Both put fresh spins on well-explored concepts…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Charles Gant (85) for Heat Magazine (77) on 03 Sep 2009

Who knew that a movie that begins like an Apartheid spin on Brazilian ghetto drama City Of God, then mutates into The Fly, would wind up pushing…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Mark Ramshaw (6) for Filmstar Magazine (47) on 03 Sep 2009

The most deliriously inventive sci-fi action movie in years. Truly, this is a game changer. James Cameron may want to watch his back…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Michael Bonner (121) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 03 Sep 2009

The originality of the first hour is squandered as Blomkamp unmasks corporate villainy and resorts to an increasingly programmatic series of…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By David Edwards (979) for Daily Mirror (UK) (1,133) on 03 Sep 2009

While a solid actioner, what makes it so special is a human heart that propels this wham-bam sci-fi film straight into deepest six-star territory…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Mark Adams (368) for Sunday Mirror (UK) (89) on 03 Sep 2009

District 9 is one of the very best films of the year - packed with suspense, action, humour and great performances, and directed with real…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 03 Sep 2009

All the elements are familiar but Blomkamp's swaggering, guerrilla-style approach transforms them into a zestful slice of cartoonish mayhem…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Chris Hewitt (Uk) (87) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 03 Sep 2009

When District 9 works, it's an explosive and exciting sci-fi that heralds the arrival of a major new talent…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Peter Aspden (7) for Financial Times (1,822) on 03 Sep 2009

Director Neill Blomkamp expertly marshals the action, and although the climactic exchanges settle into familiar territory, he provokes genuine…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Brandon Fibbs (448) for BrandonFibbs.com (287) on 02 Sep 2009

Easily one of the best and most surprising films of the summer, an edge-of-your-seat actioneer that represents the very best that science fiction…
