Travis wrote in with a story that says much of what my friends have been saying to me all weekend:
"Slashdot covered "District 9" back in July. I was originally excited to see this movie for its exhibition of exoskeleton robot "mechs" (see images and video at Hizook.com ). After watching the film this opening weekend, I can honestly say that it was an amazing science fiction movie! Everything was spot-on: the plot, the human elements, the alien elements, the technology, and the seamless blend of special effects with real camera capture. This film should vault Neill Blomkamp into sci-fi stardom, on par with George Lucas and the Wachowski Brothers (of Matrix fame). This is certainly a must-see movie — easily the best movie of the year."
