District 9… More Like the District of Awesomeness!!!!!

Starring: Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, and Nathalie Boltt

District 9 should be renamed “District Awesomeness”. Being one of the better movies I have seen in a while inspires me to describe this movie as best as possible.

Adjectives to Describe District 9: Awesome, ballin’, great, amazing, bad-ass, as good as Megan Fox is hot, as amazing as Lost is confusing, as brilliant as Bush is not, cool, hot, explosion-enhanced, steroid taking?, chocolate goodness or vanilla goodness (for the people who dislike chocolate), as mouth-watering as apple pie, etc.

District 9’s intermittent use of documentary-like film-work enhanced the experience making me feel as if the events of the movie possibly happened, and unlike Cloverfield (where the camera only gave headaches) District 9 mixed in normal camerawork with a bit of hand-held clips.

The acting too was a surprising addition to the movie. I was not expecting –in the slightest– any form of good acting, but Sharlto Colpey’s feel for the his character’s changing situation inflicted different feelings on me throughout the movie in the order of dislike, to sympathy, to at last support and hopes for his retribution.

The movie overall left me feeling content, hopeful for a sequel (or prequel), and mildly happy.

Although one should note that only 3 of the 6 peoples in my group enjoyed the movie, so results may vary.
