District 9 Movie Review

Well what can I say everyone has been waxing on about how wonderful this District 9 movie is and so we went to see it. First let me say I am a hugh Science Fiction fan and my wife is not (but she enjoys an interesting movie). That being said we both HATED this movie!!!

Good:

• Aliens looked realistic

• Weapons looked realistic and interesting

• Spaceships looked realistic

• My wife liked the little alien bug :)

• Cat food & Nigerian gangsters were amusing

Bad:

• Documentary story type filming, awful!

• Story line, we hated it!!! We kept waiting for the movie to get better and it never did.

• I kept wishing that someone would kill off the main character! Seriously I was that irritated every time he spoke.

• My wife thought the main character was like Mr. Bean and just could not take the whole movie seriously.

• If you like boring social commentary about South Africa in the from of Science Fiction and movies that end with a dull thud then you may like this movie.

Its been a long time since I have seen people getup and walk out of a movie but they did for this one and I wish we were one of them. What a total waste of money! So if you feel compelled to see this movie save your money and wait till it hits the dollar theater or rent it on redbox.
