District 9

Starz was free for the weekend and this was on so I watched it. i never expected the movie to be so good. I don't want to spoil it for others so I'll put this in (SPOILER) The first half of the movie seems like you're watching a documentary and a real one at that. They did a great job on making something fictional feel like something real. The way the aliens background was explained and treated made it seem really alive. I had felt emotion for these creatures trying to surmise if they were against, with us, or were neutral to us simply trying to survive. The last one was actually the answer to that. The movie advances from feeling like a documentary into a filmed story when the guy (forgot his name) who seemed to be the lead officer in moving the prawn, when he passed out at his birthday party and woke up in a hospital with a prawn arm. The movie did a well and believable interpretation of a world where the aliens are the ones at the disadvantage and how we ultimately won't to use them or more as their technology for power and fortune. During the main character's transformation into a prawn he starts to change his belief on the species. Early in the movie he burned down a nest of their infants and later became attached to a prawn father and his son. The ending felt powerful and left mystery behind what would happen afterwards. The ending also reattached the former documentary feeling that was present at the start of the movie

All in all I give it a 10/10.
