District 9 (2009)

The worst movie I have ever seen. Seriously. I walked out towards the end of it (unfortunately, should have been sooner) in theatres.

District 9 (2009)

This low budget wonder looks like a much bigger picture than it actually was and manages to tell an apartheid allegory with aliens. A nice mix of action, heart and humor makes this one of 2009's best films.

District 9 (2009)

This is one of the best movies of 2009. It was gritty futuristic portrayal of a very dark time in South African history. The movie struck a chord with me as it reminded me of the book "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. A really well done film and a must watch.
