Movie: District 9
Main Actors: Sharlto Copley and Jason Cope
MPAA Rating: R
Passionate Expressions: Lots of them.
Useless Vulgar Language: Lots as well. They seemed a little awkward sometimes.
Sex in a Good Light: NA
Sex in a Bad Light: NA
Manly Violence: Lots and lots
Action Violence: It could be argued that there was some because of the Alien blaster weapons, but they were used a considerably small amount considering how much they could have been used. I don’t think anything was in this category.

Scorecard
Cinematography: B
Visual Effects: A
Sound/Score: B
Story: A
Acting: A
Food to Watch With: If you’re an adventurous eater, maybe some crawdads with butter, or deep fried. But if you are like me and you like your food processed, then maybe fish sticks; you can use scissors and make them look like crawdads
Plot Synopsis: Humans and Aliens try to coexist without really understanding each other in a corrupt corner of the globe.
Review: Great Sci-Fi movie, maybe one of the all time bests, ranking up there with Alien and Inception. On top of the great Sci-Fi story there was a bit of a social commentary that I felt was fair, not over-powering and remarkably well thought out. I’m usually not a fan of getting opinion on my alien movies, but this one fit like a glove. The Aliens were not the smart or super-dangerous ones that we are used to, they are like worker bees, and their technology is just as dangerous in their hands as it is in ours. The Author and Director did a good job of showing how both the controlling and evil sides of human nature can be brought to bear and what impact each of them had. The movie centers on a not-so-smart man that has somehow been put in charge of things he was not mature enough for and he spends most of the movie turning into a giant lobster (Alien). There is some imaginative Alien technology that is used and I would say that overall the movie was a huge success.
Life Lessons: Don’t drink Alien goo and don’t trust fathers-in-law who work for the South African government, both lead to awkward situations.
Summary: Great movie, good acting, good plot and good directing
Would I Watch This Again: Yep, it’s a good movie to have around if you need an Sci-Fi fix.
