First of all, I'm not a big fan of Sci-Fi movies. I haven't watched many of the famous Sci-Fi movies. I'm more inclined towards realistic movie making. I can spend hours watching realistic japanese or a bengali movie. However, recently I saw this ad on all the Bus Stops in SF, like "Not for aliens" and such. I was confused initially and finally found from a Trailer that its just a promo for the upcoming movie "District 9".
And on Sunday , after reading some rave reviews about this movie, I thought, let me check it out. Whenever we hear about Alien movies, you basically can figure out what that movie is going to be and how it will look like. But District 9 destroys all that once you see this movie.
District 9 starts like a documentary to make sure the viewer understands the story behind it. It then speeds up and finally ends in a very poetic note. It makes you think when the next sequel is gonna be. The movie is funny and to me, the story was realistic. May be this story could happen and talks about a sensitive topic on immigration.
If you get a chance, watch this movie, you wouldn't be disappointed !!!
