Review of District 9 (2009) by John S — 03 Jan 2016

If you're one of those people who can't enjoy a film with some major plot holes, done watch this film. Otherwise, it's a must see. District 9 is a film that's original at many levels. The CGI is beyond average. The dialogs are decent. The pacing is decent. The satire is successful. The location and choice of actors is unique. etc.

If only it had a more credibly plot, this could have been the best film of 2009. Unfortunately this is where the film fails miserable, but to me pretty much everything else about District 9 saves the film and puts it at a level way beyond mediocrity. Therefore I still recommend this film, even though I would prefer a more credible plot.
