Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

TheBigSick In War For The Planet Of Apes, Blade Runner, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we have already seen stupid settings that humans are evil, ignorant and greedy, while the non-humans are sympathetic, determined and smart. Here in this Sci-Fi thriller, we see this setting again. The plot simply lacks any sense of credibility. The visual effects are cheap and lousy. The cameras are shaky and intolerable.

paulclaassen I must admit I was skeptical about this film, as the trailer did nothing for my senses and even the premise seemed like something that's been done a hundred times before. But boy, was I in for a surprise! The film gets more interesting as it progresses, and is ultimately absolutely fantastic. It is a thrill ride of note with amazing action sequences and incredible visuals. Sharlo Copley is brilliant as Wikus van der Merwe, and deservedly won a few awards as Best Actor

Nadeeshan Tennage (nadeeshantennage) Out of many films about extraterrestrial species that I've watched arguably District 9 is the best. Out of many reasons as to why I would regard it as that ; the most important is the fact that the Aliens are depicted in a much wider scope and with a lot of personality in this film. Specially, the lead Alien character Christopher along with the leading performance by Sharlto Copley as Wikus carries this wonderful story on their shoulders and executes the plot to perfection. This film is also about how malignant human beings can be to our own species where they don't blink to betray our own at the face of financial benefits which are sunk deep in technological advancements. Certain characters in this film almost make us feel how far our basic human values would deplete for the greed of power and money in this technologically advancing World. Colonel Koobus and Piet Smit are those worst strains of humanity. The film maintains an emotional grip throughout the film which would keep you totally invested in its plot unfolding. Specially, Wikus whose wonderful character arch with his own insecurities make him feel compassionate about the Aliens which in turn would make us feel compassionate about him. Anyone who is a fan of science fiction films wouldn't wanna miss this one equipped with fantastic visual effects, action sequences, and masterfully layered emotional grip which keeps you invested from start to finish.
