District 9

30 years ago, in 1979, a man named George Lucas came up with the idea of Star Wars.
That completely changed how the masses perceived Sci-Fi films.

Fast forward to today, 30 years later into 2009, a South African ad film maker and acclaimed 3D animator has done what George did. Redefining the Genre. 29 year old Neil Blomkamp to me has really topped it off since 1979.

District 9 tells the story of Aliens in coexistence with humans on Earth. Speculate all you want why it's filmed in Johannesburg, South Africa, but I personally love it. It brings a clear reflection of the world today with its mentality towards something "foreign" or "alien". Aliens in this film go through oppression similar to what South Africans experienced during Apartheid. Gritty, in-your-face, and heavy with cinema verite style, its FRESH.

District 9 completely destroys all stereotypes of aliens in sci-fi. Blomkamp's style of a documentary-like film may not appeal to most commercial movie-goers but not to true fans of sci-fi. Not saying it will not appeal to the masses, but its probably to "fresh" or unconventional to most.

Character development of the leads are also very in depth and their transformation throughout the film. This brings tears in your eyes, a raging anger in your heart, and a very busy mind afterwards.

My final verdict for District 9 is that it is really FRESH. Sci-fi fans, you're not going to be disappointed.

Also, out of randomness, Blomkamp was chosen to direct the canned Halo film adaptation. Shit. Imagine how Halo would've been.
