"District 9" Best Sci-fi Movie of 09?

[wraggster]

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."

I saw some footage from this a while back and the trailer too more recently. It looks really good and kinda authentic, lacking that horrible gloss that riddles some of the Sci-Fi films these days.

I'm really looking forward to it.

I saw 'Moon' the other week and that was a really good Sci-Fi, probably the best I've seen this year. I wonder if this will top it?

Great movie, everyone should go see it at least once in theaters. Also, a very open ending which screams sequel was present. I can't wait for 2 to get released.
