Review of District 9 (2009) by Michael S — 08 Feb 2015
Do not underestimate this movie as another SciFi (SyFY), alien, action movie. It is mostly a commentary on apartheid or any form of oppression in the world.
The story focuses on one main character who is in charge of evicting the aliens that are being kept in slums. He looks down on them as an inferior race until something happens that causes him to change his views. Im being vague because I don't want to give anything away.
This is probably an hour and a half of story and great acting, followed by a half hour of all hell breaking loose with effects that put Transformers to shame.
Rated R for language and some gore. Not for young kids but if you have an open mind your young teens or tweens might learn a lesson or two without feeling like they are being preached to.
