Yes, this is a really good movie. But I am not really sure why yet. Not too often is a sci movie this interesting or well paced. Usually there are tons of horror movies (why I don't know) and 2 or fewer Sci Fi movies per year. This year is different.
When watching District 9 it was like I was playing Half Life on the PC. It was an amazing feeling, a once in a long time feeling (though not once in a lifetime). Despite all of these great things, I think it will be forgotten in years to come. Nothing is wrong with it though I am not sure what is so great either.
One could compare this two movies - Cloverfield (because it was shot in documentary style) and 28 Days Later (because it was a surprise hit not created on American soil). This is not than either of these.
I don't want to give away any of the plot, I just want you to see it. Will it be the best sci fi released this year? I hope not (Avatar), but it could be close.

You couldn't have said it better.
