District 9: I didn't see the first eight, and I don't plan to

District 9. As opposed to other alien movies, where the aliens want to destroy us for some exagerated reason we use (building an interstellar bypass perhaps), we instead see them put into Hoovervilles and left there to fend for themselves. I've heard a lot of people ask why. Why do they just leave the ALIENS from OUTERSPACE in a slum? It's very simple, a lot of known cultures do it too. They are disposing of their weak. None of the aliens on the ship had any knowlege of how to fly it, and were no where near the controls if they did. They were left here, probably in an attempt to weed out the current population.

Now as for the rest of the movie, I can only really say that the visuals were what intruiged me. The aliens looked like aliens and the ones that went local still remained unique. The costumes were great when needed too. The alien arm attached to the main character was particularly well done.

Now to the bad part which is the plot. Well, not the whole plot, just the plot devices. First off the MC. We imediately don't care about this guy. The fact that he goes through severe pain and despair doesn't at all help us like him. This is due, mainly because he looks like the manager from Flight of The Concords.

Uncanny

Another thing this movie has to go for itself is the body count. Most of these characters are also completely forgettable, and thus equal wasted screen time.

The ending was dull, and predictable so I won't waste your time with it.

All in all, District 9 had a lot of potential, and did nothing wrong really. A bad cast and bad character development were its two biggest flaws, but what can be done now?

District 9 is rated R.

Z-Control gives it a-

[Meh]
