District 9 – A Funtastic Movie

I have been thinking of writing about this for the past one week. Finally I will give it a go.

Last weekend I went to see District 9. A movie which shows that you don’t need spaceships firing phasers & photon torpedoes and have huge explosions in space to create a superb science-fiction. In his simplistic portrayal of Wikus, Sharlto Copley has outdone what the director Neill Blomkamp might have even set out to do.

Without giving away the plot. The movie does tend to start a bit slow in the beginning. At times in the first quarter it even appears to be going nowhere. But as it moves along that initial buildup is worth every moment that follows afterwards.

A must see for anyone who likes to watch a movie that appreciates the intelligence of viewers and does not just bombard them with loads of special effects.
