District 9 is awesome, defiantly a giant leap forward in story telling, movie making and sci-fi. Go see it. I can't wait to see what Jackson/Blomkamp do next....*HALF LIFE MOVIE PLZ! fuck off, Halo*
i liked that the main character was a south african version of murray from flight of the conchords.
the only thing that would have made it better would have been if christopher was named jeff. so he would have been yelling "JEEF!" constantly, and reminded me even more of jeff's mom...
exremely well done. I quite like the pseudo-documentary intro/outro. also, that we aren't smacked over the head with the plot development, as we are with most 'Hollywood' films. AND that the aliens don't speak English.

christopher? (strange agreeing noise) christopher's son? (snap crackle pop) and wikus? present...
I will accept a half-life movie only if Gordon doesn't speak at all.

i'd like to see Blomkamp and Jackson take on a Metroid movie in a style similar to this. Halo can be left alone for now...
