BEST MOVIES OF 2009: #3 - DISTRICT 9


District 9 is a rare movie, nay film. It's got great action sequences, mind-blowing special effects, and a personal, well-constructed story. Disctrict 9 is very similar to Avatar, but I will almost always take the Rated R version over the PG-13 one. What impressed me so much about the film was its originality. I haven't really seen anything like it. The first half hour feels like something you would see on the Discovery channel, while that last hour and a half or so feels like Cloverfield. I would have to say this was the biggest surprise of the year and an instant classic. Can't wait for the sequel.
