[Aptor hours]

I ordered the movie District Nine! Can anybody review it for me? Thanks!

It's mediocre at best. It has been hyped by people trying to be overly highfalutin and pretentious in their perceived cinematic taste. See Idiocracy if you have not seen it -- now there's a good film.

I wouldn't say its mediocre. Actually a good sci fi flick . Good effects decent plot.

its ok not great but better than some other sci-fi flics i've seen.

Ill agree with Mike2069. Also is presented in a unique way. Its worth a watch.

Liked it. Didn't love it.

I appreciated the fact that it tried to be more than another SF action flick, that it was actually about something. But the allegory was a tad thick.

Definitely worth watching. Not sure it's worth watching twice.

I thought it was excellent. A very original plot-- perhaps one of the most original plots that has come out in a long time. It probably should have won the oscar for best picture over Avatar and Hurt Locker (which was horrible).

It got a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Try watching it with the director's commentary on. It's a hoot.

Personally I didn't understand the hype. It's shot like a reality show i.e. shaky camera, too much lighting, etc. The plot is stupid. It's about Crab people... seriously.

I loved it. It seemed like they are going to make a sequel to District 9, or at least I wish there was. It's one of the movies that could go on forever... Definitely not a bad movie.

It someone says it's bad then they must not know what a good movie is.
