Gore and Sci fi at its finest

District 9 comes off as a very simple yet very effective film in almost all aspects in the last decade of sci fi movies. It almost feels like a cross between an Alien infested Resident evil and Cloverfield. I was really surprised what the lead actor brought to this film, which was a compelling sense of humanism which connects the audience to what this movie's about. To think he's not really an actor, I'm sure he has a lot more coming after this one. Neil Blomkamp should be given more sci fi movies in the future, like a T5 or how about a metal gear solid. The CG for this movie was out of this world and I kinda wished Judge dredd were made or remade by this guy. Overall it was hardcore gore and sci fi all in one and you'll be surprised what District 9 holds in store because it has a little something for everyone.
