District 18

District 9 is a fantastic movie in my opinion. I'm really into the sci-fi genre and was excited to hear another movie about aliens was being released, not just for the alien side but mostly because the realistic way they have portrayed the aliens and the more realistic way they have shown the human attitudes towards these people from another world if you like. The CGI was really quite great, brilliant, brilliant animation and graphics. Well played by the actors, and you actually got into the story in this movie, you actually give a damn as to what happens to the characters. That is apart from the main character, I thought he was a bit of an annoying fellow. However, you really do get a feel for these character's backgrounds and especially feel sorry for the aliens and how they are treated. I think that there wasn't enough alien weaponry, they only showcased about three kinds of it, the classic machine gun , the zappy laser one that made people explode and the one that lets off sonic waves to knock your enemies into next week.

Anyway, twas a very entertaining movie and I loved the way the movie left you wanting more, not quite giving away the ending but dropping little hints, mayhap a sequel is in order? 9/10 in all. Highly recommend it!
