Well, just got back from watching the midnight showing of District 9, and all I got is a meh. The movie District 9 wasnt a bad movie by any stretch, but I think I was expecting too much out of it. I’ve been having that problem lately with a lot of movies that I see, like the latest harry potter. That one as well didnt really do it for me. But District 9 definitely had its moments.

Now, to start off, I wont have any spoilers in this District 9 Movie review. I just want to give you a heads up at what you can expect from District 9. I thought the acting was quite good, and the characters were definitely believable. One thing I cant stand in a movie is the same thing that can ruin a movie: bad acting. Or just simply casting the wrong actors. District 9 did not fail in that regards. Good acting.

The plot… Well the plot for the district 9 movie wasnt bad either. I dont want to go into too much detail and ruin the movie, but it does kinda keep you guessing at what will happen next. Not super unpredictable though, and it doesnt really keep you on the edge of your seat. The plot in district 9 keeps you intrigued just enough for you to keep watching, and not walk out of the theater.

Now the part I liked best about the district 9 movie was the display of alien weaponry. There are some sweet guns that start getting used around the middle of the movie, and the power behind them is insane. Lets just say that there isnt a whole lot left of whatever gets fired at.

And the special effects for district 9 were spot on, in my opinion. The aliens looked real and whenever they displayed the alien technology, it was pretty cool as well. It does get pretty gruesome at times, which is probably the reasoning for the R rating for District 9. And they do drop the f bomb quite a bit as well, including the aliens. That part actually made me chuckle a bit.

Overall, I would have to say that District 9 is a good movie. But I gotta be honest and say that I didnt walk away awe struck. I guess I have to be fair to District 9 though, as I really havent been blown away by a movie in quite some time. If you’re looking to see a movie this weekend with a more serious tone, but still with some action, then I would recommend District 9. I hope you have enjoyed this District 9 movie review, and let me know what you think of District 9.
