Weekend Movie Review:
District 9
(After years of having an alien population reside on Earth without understanding their motives for coming, the government decides to relocate them to a more secluded area. The leader of the relocation operation is accidentally contaminated by an alien chemical and begins to take on some alien attributes, and the government wants to dissect him while the aliens want him to help them leave the planet. ) - The Plot
I was never excited about seeing this movie. Boy, was I Right. I just wanted to get up after the first 45 minutes and leave. I do not know if the writers were trying to relate the way the aliens were treated to the blacks in South Africa, but come on. If you like movies that are filmed by a hand held camera, you might enjoy some of this. I think District 9 was quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen next to The Happening. Forget categorizing it as a "science fiction movie", it's more like a shallow thriller/horror with some unrealistic drama thrown in there. Terrible acting, the main character is extremely unlikeable and his use of the F-word shows just how poor scripted this movie is. EXTREMELY shallow and PREDICTABLE plot. Instead of caring about any depth in story, just shoot 'em up at the end. Stupid and horribly scripted. Around 10 people left within 40 minutes of the movie. There is so much BRUTALLY wrong with calling this movie smart or insightful. It is a horrific mess with cardboard villains straight out of the cliche book!! Nothing makes ANY sense, for instance why don't we know anything about the aliens except that they like cat food and trash but yet we can understand their language?? A guy gets a mutagenic virus that changes him to an alien and it's viewed and an economic opportunity?? The aliens deal in weapons with african gangs and the government is fine with it?? All the aliens act like a cross between monkeys and roaches except for 2 of them (one of which somehow acquires the name Christopher??!) whom have a complete human father son relationship?? How the hell could THAT happen?? The list of impossibly badly written cliches and situations goes on and on for 2 hours just awful! unless you are a 14 year-old with a lobotomy that likes when things go BOOM, RUN FAR FAR AWAY!!!! The only thing that this shit fest has going for itself was the blood and gore, other then that it was total crap! I can't believe people think District 9 is one of the best science fiction movies of the decade, makes me lose faith in Hollywood. ... I give it a ..... D-
