District 9

Now this was a great movie. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I was going to.
Kudos to Peter Jackson for presenting a movie shorter than 3 hours.

Aside from that, I thought it was very well done. You feel a lot of sympathy for the aliens and I think you should. They are the victims this time around. The main alien and his son just grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. I loved his character and was glad to see how things turned out.

The other thing I liked was that the aliens weren't necessarily vicious. They were being held captive and that's as simple as it gets. They didn't really understand why and they were perceived as bottom feeding slobs because they were made that way by the government. The people had no choice but to believe it.




I think I might even see this one again. I enjoyed it a lot.
