This bizarre SF movie, appropriately structured using documentary styled filming, is simply one of the year's best movies that effectively acknowledges the audience of racial discrimination.

It is a great movie, and every science fiction fan should watch it. The story is quite unique from one perspective, because in this movie the aliens are not the threat to us - we are the threat to the aliens. The story is also great and not hard to follow, the characters have very sharp personalities. Overall it's a very good movie, I had a lot of fun, so check it out! I give it 9/10

What a waste of a great premise! This movie starts out with a really interesting concept and procedes to digress into just another stupid action movie. It makes me very sad, this movie could have really unique and interesting but as the movie progresses it gets less and less unique and interesting and gets more and more cliche action movie explosions. Kudos for a great concept, and shake of the head for failing to do anything with it.… Expand

Was hoping it would turn out great, got sucked up by all the hype. Was disappointed by all of the mish mash of different sci fi flavors. Seriously was it a faux docudrama? or did they forget half way through... action was pretty decent and had 2 funny scenes, but it was all over the place and didnt know what it wanted to be. Plus seriously were they paid by how many times they uttered the "F word"

This film is crap. The worst First Person Shooter has a better plot than this one. What you learn is that white South Africans are bad but Nigerians are the dregs of humanity. Despite what a lot of people think there is not a single new idea in this messed up movie. Good intentions and good actors are not enough to make a movie. You need writers.

I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like this before. A true and complete original. You will ride an emotional rollercoaster while watching this film. You'll laugh, scream, wince, jump and quite possibly cry. I cannot recommend seeing this film enough. Amazing.

it was amazingly original and very unpredictable. a must for me personally.

Awful, irritating, gratuitous garbage. I'm so very tired of cinematic comic books that feel like they were scripted by precocious 11yr.olds Best/Worst line: ( in the lab after the break in) " Look for something that might hold a vial!"

Loved the documentary style at the beginning of the film. Although it wained slightly after that, the twist was a great move and the storyline very complex for a movie where Aliens and Humans get blown to smithereens.

Next Peter Jackson's movie and next amazing movie! This movie is other than all Action, Sci-Fi movies. It holds in tension and tells excellent story. Story is the best in this movie but all is really great. This is ones of my favorites movies and i advice District 9 every Sci-Fi fans.

This movie is so bad I couldn't finish it. If I want to watch raw news footage I can go to YouTube.

I didn't know what I was getting into with this movie, but once it started I was so glad I saw it. This is an original sci-fi movie that I never seen. It was taking Starship Troopers, The Fly, and added a new depth of great story telling into it. This movie has everything! Action, sci-fi, drama, gore, and a great story. I loved it. It was a great ride from beginning to the end. There is a great career from this director, and I think the actor that plays Vickers has just started a great career as well. Would highly recommend this to anybody… Expand

This is one original movie unlike any other sci-fi movie i have ever seen. It invades into a realm of sci-fi, still pretending to be a social documentary and the way it incorporates fast paced action surely keeps the viewers glued to the seat. If you are into emotions and at the same time like fast paced action, this one is a must watch. I can definitely say this is going to be one of the best films of 2009.… Expand

From the Time Magazine review: "... District 9 proves that genre films, besides being a hell of a lot of fun, can say things you hadn't considered and show stuff you haven't seen." Let me give that a slight spin: <> District 9 drags a little in its middle, but it's a very good film and should not face condescension because it's SF. Indeed, since most works are genre works — including those in the genre The Art Film — it might be best to hold back on the condescension more generally.… Expand

ive been waiting for a movie like this one for a long time,a movie like this makes you stop and think,could this really happen?,has something like this already happened?i dont think this movie wanders too far from reality and may not be so much of a sci-fi movie but a taste of reality and/or what may come to be one day.

If you want to see the trigger happy military jocks obliterated in blood explosions with the Laser Gun 9000 and a walking mech, this movie is for you. If you wanted an intelligent look at race relations or a new, more humanistic look at what alien contact might look like, well, you're better off just watching the short film (Alive in Joburg) and stopping there. As part of the second crowd, I was sorely disappointed to find that this film is essentially the premise of the short, which was well made, if not necessary enlightening, filled in with Hollywood nonsense to the point of incomprehension. The believable and intriguing sets of the original are discarded for the mind-numbing adrenaline fest of another cliche action movie. But judging by these reviews and the film's $35 million weekend start, I'm in the minority.… Expand

I wasn't exactly sure what I was walking into: critique on race relations, sci-fi mystery of aliens, action shoot em up, etc...? Ultimately the movie is definitely sci-fi action but it always tried to add more commentary and layers (though not always succeeding). It is easily one of the more interesting movies to be released this year and worth the time and money to enjoy. Also... Pllleeeaaaaseee make this into a video game, I was so envious at some parts with how great this would adapt to gaming.… Expand

when it first started i was dissapointed. it picks up and then you truly begin to care about the main character. there was a couple of plot leaks with some wtf moments...but but it kept my attention completely after the first 10 minutes. thoroughly enjoyable; it ended up being the best science fiction movie i've see in quite some time...light years better than star trek earlier this summer.… Expand

is movie is proof that there are people out in the world who know what a si-fi moive is. when other movie showed that si-fi now means big guns and bad action with a lame story that has aliens, this movie brings back what si-fi used to mean big guns and good action with a tear jreakin, heart warming realist tell that has alines

Take the F word out and the dialogue is cut by 50%. Entertaining, slightly. But why do most new film concepts need to be part 1 of X? Peter Jackson couldn't help himself I suppose. The wait for the sequel ending is such crap. Ooh, ooh what is going to happen next?

Seriously the best movie since The Dark Knight. My interest was never lost from start to finish. Pulls on the strings of your heart.

I went into this movie with high hopes. I was left speechless. This movie delivers on all fronts and its worth every penny...twice. I would recommend this to all. Be warned there is quite a bit of gore so this is not for the weak stomached.

District 9 is subtle, subversive and its a Sci-Fi shot in Johannesburg?? What a treat watching a movie that does not bombard you with colour, special effects and the soulless Hollywood 'SHAZAM' factor. Instead we are given a real portrayal of squatter camp life, with beings suffering and oppressed to the point of revolt. We feel for them; we want them to be rescued and oh yes they are aliens!!! This Movies strength is its core is overflowing with subversive power and the fact that its a alien/chase/special effects fiasco just makes it a great ,great movie!!!!… Expand

Most original sci-fi since Alien. Neill Blomkamp in his directing debut knocked this one out of the park. There is so much right with this movie, and so little wrong. It really pulls you in and ratchets up the tension so adroitly you don't notice until you're cheering. Can't wait to see it again.

This movie is simply beyond perfection

This movie was incredible. Go watch it with your friends, by yourself, or both.

It was jarring at first, difficult to buy into the flow of images that bombarded me. But eventually I did, and the film was pretty good. I thought that some of the plot elements were lazy or showed shallow consideration, but overall it was engaging. I apologize for the lack of specifics; I want to avoid any spoilers.

Easily and absolutely the greatest movie of the year and quite possibly the decade. Amazing plot, top-notch acting, and stunning CGI, it's a must see for all fans of cinema.

A mix of The Fly, Blackhawk Down, Children of men and Half-life 2, with a possible gravity gun reference involving a.... I wont spoil it. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that the Aliens aren't really all that alien. They are basically bug people who behave exactly as humans would. And the Apartheid thing doesn't last long before it goes all action, But the action is great.

Excellent movie. Looks like the lower-scoring critics are just trying to get their names out. Completely different than what I was expecting, and completely different than any other movie I've seen. Great movie.

A fresh, engaging style from a new director. After watching this movie, I'm convinced that Neill Blomkamp will turn any future project into gold.

Unlike anything you've ever seen. A very original sci-fi film with top notch cgi, acting and a great script. Copley is absolutely amazing in his first film, this guy is going to be a star. Blomkamp is a visionary... this film had me hooked from the first frame. A must see.

Yes to all of this film.

One of the best movies I've ever seen.

You'll probably watch this film expecting just another corny alien movie. We all though that, oh how wrong we were.

This movie is interesting, funny (at times), action packed, has an original story, great acting, and has some serious emotional bits in it. It's pretty much the definition of an entertaining cinematic experience. I total recommend it; it was awesome!

The most diverse, unique movie of the year, you havent seen it all, until you watch this.

District 9 more then overcomes a few minor plot holes and ham fisted elements with a refreshingly unique story and style. In the end humanizing, exciting, bitter sweet and while a complete story on it's own more then merits a sequel. Notice when the credits role how many people in the theater will begin discussing it with one another.

Ladies and gentlemen, if there is one movie you absolutely have to see this summer, District 9 is it. Action packed, thrilling, flawlessly acted, emotionally resonant, and best of all: ORIGINAL. Sharlto Copley and Neill Blomkamp are two men that any fan of film should keep tabs on. Currently the movie of the year in my eyes and I highly doubt any film being able to come close to it, much less actually topping it.… Expand

Great show, reminiscent of Enemy Mine and Alien Nation, but has personality all its own. I hope he comes back in three years to rescue his new friend lost on Earth.

Absolutely perfect. What a brilliant movie! South African director Neill really has done an outstanding job.

This is a great, deep, and smart movie. It has many undertones about out modern society which makes it hit so much closer to home. Recommended.

Really a stunning film. To me, this was like seeing The Matrix for the first time in the theater. Sci-fi action with imaginative writing and a soul. I can't really describe how incredible it was.

Profoundly overrated and bringing nothing new to the table District 9 is still good enough to watch but a little on the boring and cant feel for the characters side.

While watching District 9 it reminded me of other movies, the shakey carmera work from transformers , The aliens were a rip out of Half Life 2. The idea was an intresting one, but then it turned into a typical chase movie. A bluray rental nothing more.

As good as "Planet of the Apes", almost as good as "Blade Runner".

Not for the fainted of heart. This movie has some pretty grotesque scenes. I’d certainly would NOT take my sister with me on this one. At the same time I must admit that this movie tries and succeeds in being original and cynical. The majority of humanity is made of greedy, aggressive and unprofessional bastards and the director shows this in vivid colors. He movie is NOT perfect as some want to make it look like, but if you have guts go and see it, it’s one of the most original, realistic and better movies about aliens to date.… Expand

Why is this movie getting such good reviews!!??? Are people really this dumb? This isn't a movie, it's a video game premise, and if they'd actually made a game instead of a film, they could possibly be excused for having just about enough plot to fill a dixie cup before moving on to simply blowing things up and splattering gore across the camera. First off, if you didn';t get the fact that this movie is a thinly-veiled allegory for South African apartheid simply from the trailers, then you're either brain-dead, in which case please don't reproduce, or you're 10 years old, in which case please ask your parents about apartheid. Or better yet, Google it, because, by the glowing response this film's had so far, NOBODY REMEMBERS WHAT APARTHEID WAS. I've never had a metaphor so ham-handedly pounded over my head for two hours. Yes, I get it. This is man's capacity for evil and hatred and exploitation through ignorance and xenophobia. Please move on, or do something interesting with it. Instead, we get treated to a parade of 1-dimensional characters ("I just love watching you prawns die!") and joyfully pubescent violence porn. However, even the violence causes massive amounts of cognitive dissonance. If the aliens had these weapons all along, why were the humans able to subjugate them? They've got guns that MAKE PEOPLE EXPLODE. You don't even have to aim particularly well. Instead, the aliens decide to trade those weapons for cans of cat food and dig through trash piles so they can nibble on vulcanized rubber. Secondly, once the aliens (trying to avoid spoilers here, don't ask me why) do decide to unleash their weaponry after 20 years of sneering degradation and oppression, they are remarkably reticent about actually using it. Inside my head, I was constantly screaming, "WHY AREN'T YOU KILLING THEM!!?" The characters were that thin; the humans are SO terrible and the aliens are SO innocent and maltreated that there is absolutely no ambivalence about the idea that the aliens should exterminate every human that has anything to do with MNU, the cartoonishly evil corporation responsible for human/alien relations. Which brings up yet another disconnect; once the alien tech is unleashed, why are the human forces so unfazed by it? I understand that, as a soldier, you need to hang in there and keep fighting even when you start taking losses, but after you see one or two of your teammates explode into a bloody mist after getting hit by an electro-bolt, maybe it's time to start waving the white flag. I dunno...I guess I'm out of steam here. Maybe my expectations were too high. There was a lot of potential here; a good twist on a first contact story, and worthy subject matter to serve as a thematic canvas for that story. Unfortunately, Mr. Blomkamp and his cohorts were apparently more interested in playing a game of HALO.… Expand

No redeeming value. I have a headache.

This movie is a slap-dash bunch of action sequencies genetically merged with political allegory. Don't see it. 0 out of 10.

Best Sci-Fi film in years it kind of reminds me of a evolution of E.T. Is Extremely original at least for 2/3. The last third isn't a original or as funny but yet widely entertaining. This film has so many powerful undertones mostly reminiscent of the apartheid.

Honestly. Do not believe the hype. A dull mish mash of a film with an irritating lead and zero suspense and emotion. Very, very disappointing. Grossly overrated. Very good special effects though.

I think the trailer don't do justice to the film,because when I first saw it,I thought it was interesting but it didn't really capture what really happens in the movie.Maybe bad marketing but absolutely Not a bad movie.I love the film but my girlfriend doesn't because it's too violent.However when you try to combine realistically violent environment:(Alien/Thug/SpecialOps) ,you have to ask yourself :will it go down Transformers-ly? Bottom line is, I think I can review District 9 but honestly I can't.It's too emotional,too action-packed and just too intelligent for me to even say anything about it.If you have seen it once,see it again and again if necessary because honestly I don't think anyone can sum this gem on one viewing.I thought I've seen it all.I thought I knew what was coming but I was wrong.… Expand

District 9 is easily the best movie I have seen so far this year. It's story brings you in and makes you feel for these people(humans and aliens alike). The action is amazing, but never feels overdone or like it is meaningless. I should note that the entire film is extremely violent and if you don't like blood you should stay away. If you like good movies that actually have a message then don't miss this one.… Expand

The big pull for District 9, at least for me, is that this comes out of the ashes of the ruined Halo franchise that never got off the ground. As the big debut for Blomkamp, I have to admit, it is a stellar one. The vision, metaphor, and overall nature of the story is top-notch for a freshman effort. Furthermore, having Jackson's backing makes it that much better. But, I do have to feel like some of the overly-joyous press is a titch too strong. The film is at worst, a bit too long, and seems to struggle at keeping the story rolling at certain points. I didn't love it enough for a 10, but as a jump-start to a somewhat struggling sci-fi genre, a solid 8 is a good place to start.… Expand

This movie proves it's not about money, it's all about the artist behind the camera. Well done Mr. Blomkamp and Mr. Jackson.

I'm certain a sequel is being hashed out as I type this little review and the resulting "District 10" had better explain some things to me...like is there a biological basis for bigotry? My left lower claw is tapping out messages in wounded impatience but that's just me and my wild DNA...it gets a little funky with all that cat food in the system. All in all, I have to say this film was amazingly well done and embraced many themes about our humanity that were compelling and engaging. But I didn't feel it was "deep" enough. Don't get me wrong. It's a great little film. But the themes have just been scratched and I hope will be further explored. And yeah, I liked all that vomiting, public urination and relatively tidy body explosions!… Expand

I have to give this movie a 10 for just feeling like something that has never been done in cinema history, District 9 takes you to a place that you have never been and will keep you waiting for District 10? Over all a must see i could see why some people might not like it as much as others but credit is due to District 9 for bring something fresh for the masses and not just the over used "alien-est" theme that we have grown tired of.… Expand

I almost cried in the theater. I never thought i would ever see a movie this good. This may be one of the greatest movies every made and i do not make that statement lightly. Go see this movie and experience what its like to visit District 9.

Very smart movie - thought provoking - which is a nice change at the cinema.

Neil Blomkamp has not made a good science fiction movie, he has made an amazing cinematic debut. that in my opinion has the potential to re-write the way Sci-fi is made for the 21st century. Story, VFX, Sound Design are all amazing as well as the cinematography & Direction. If you are a Sci-Fi Fan go see District 9 it will give you a sense of fictional rebirth.

Interesting plot and excellent, muted effects. But where others see reminiscence I see derivative -- Children of Men, Starship Troopers, Blackhawk Down, Enemy Mine, The Fly -- but it never really adds up to, pardon the pun, the sum of its parts. Its not so much a deficiency of originality as the lack of character development. All the humans are cartoon caricatures inspired by the Jar Jar Binks school of method acting which would be fine if it were a sci-fi comedy. Want to see a perfect 10? (Re)watch Children of Men.… Expand

Everything starts out great but then becomes an action flick with no pulp. At first there are notes of apartheid and deep social suggestions, but by the end it turns into an incoherent BIONIC COMMANDO trying to save his relationship by betting it all on an infantile alien. It starts out feeling smart, and ends feeling dumber than dirt. Alien racism is halfway thought through, and what is up with the ever changing accents?… Expand

District 9 punches you in the stomach, slaps you across the face, and screams at you to wake up. This is cinema at it's finest; a brutally emotional rollercoaster ride from start to finish. If you have to see one movie this year, it absolutely must be District 9.

A couple minor flaws do little to dampen what is probably one of the best films of this year. An interesting thriller that revolves around dark themes in human history, and whether or not something like this could in fact happen. Sharlto Copely deserves an oscar nod for his role, it was that emotionally powerful, and he truly made most of the movie. I really anticipate Blomkamp's next film, whatever it may be.… Expand

This movie Sucked. There was nothing original about it. The trailer advertised something that was false , making you assume a huge creature was showing up that chased these aliens , or they're were going to fight the human race. it's bs. You sepdn about 2 hours with a thumb up your ass watching a documentary that has an extremely fake accented and annoying main character as he goes through hell turning into one of these fuckers. Then to get help from them and fuck them over. I left the theater. This is crap.… Expand

I loved it. I'm a sucker for sci fi, and let me say, this is GOOD sci fi. While this movie is obviously part allegory for apartheid, some of the critics missed the point. The large message is about humanity, and what we're capable of, both good and bad. It's interesting to see that the main character shows his most 'human' characteristics (or what we like to call humanity, ie. courage, honor, empathy, etc.) when his transformation to alien is nearly complete. It leaves you with a lot to ponder, and some envy of the alien who managed to escape us.… Expand

Can I even get away with calling a science fiction movie beautiful...? Well I did! Brilliant movie amazing in every way down to the score. Well Done

The fact that the masses of people will want to indulge this film (and by extension the filmmakers) as legitimate, advanced academic expression is an embarrassing, and somewhat ironic critique on the mediocrity of our culture in it's self. That said, it's still really enjoyable if taken more as a B-movie subversive comedy type in the vein of "Dawn of Dead" more than high-minded sci-fi or art-house film.… Expand

All I can really say, It was phenomenal. I didn't know what to think as the story continued. It was simply amazing.

A well-done, fun, rational, thought-provoking, exciting movie!

All the critics who gave it a 50 either misunderstood the film or simple lack any sort of intelligence. Some critics have bad taste in films. Please note this is not a comedy nor a comic book film, it is a realistic science fiction film. This movie is a Si-Fi classic. It has a lot of rich ideas and great action. District 9 has all the components you would expect from a excellent film. It has a great plot that makes you think about humanity and what would happen if we were really to encounter Aliens. All the snobby critics can go eat canned cat food, and should be held captive in district 9. The snobby critics misunderstood the movie the way M.N.U. misunderstood the aliens of district 9. Hopefully we will see district 10 some time in the near future.… Expand

Dark, twisted, and wonderfully executed.

Purely amazing. This movie pulls you in, grabs you by the head, and smothers you in awesome. Very intelligent, very entertaining. They fleshed out the Aliens and made you feel for them, and I loved the way they ended it, this is one of the closest movies I would call perfect. Everyone was clapping.

I thought this movie was intelligently put together. Its not as deep as a heavy drama, but there's decent character development and an OK script. The technology/CGI for the movie was pretty well done and the storyline concept was unique and well thought out.

Great set up, then at a certain point the action kicks in and every scene from there on is better than the previous. Amazing movie.

At times entertaining, but mostly disjointed with a poor narrative and absolutely baffling plot holes. I was left wondering so often if both parties want the same resolution why is there a conflict in the first place? If you're looking for an alien film, look elsewhere as they're more of a medium through which the author comments on human nature than anything else.

Absolutely amazing. Neil Blomkamp and Peter Jackson, I bow to you, for bringing us the best Sci-fi experience in years. My favorite movie ever, hands down.

I was stunned at what I saw after seeing the rating. The movie made an effort to draw on the hypocrisy of how society deals with minority or marginalized groups; however, there was no emotional ties to the main character. It really eroded into a buddy/alien action flick towards the end. Avoid it if possible.

How boring was this movie? Parable or not, it was only for my friends being with me that I did not walk out of it. I'm actually kind of glad I did not because it gained its two point rating at the end when something actually happened. Aliens getting stranded on earth is a pretty lame premise for a movie in the first place and, even though the special effects were great and the CGI truly impressive, it could not overcome that "Haven't we seen this all before?" feeling. And that feeling is hard to accept for over two and a half hours at a time.… Expand

This is an action movie billed as science fiction. There is nothing particularly wrong with it, but it fails to achieve what true Science Fiction aims to do; offer up a context for discussing a current issue with all the emotional baggage removed through fantastic characters and setting. While I get the aesthetic (which was well done, convincing and wonderfully cohesive), it still made me a little sick to my stomach. Some of the final plot "twists" if you can call them that, are a little obvious and seem out of place. However, the general concept of an alien refugee camp is genius, and in many respects the CG is some of the best I've ever seen simply because the focus remains the story and never the effect.… Expand

Near perfect movie. It kept me enraptured for the full viewing time. One of the most original concepts for cinema I've ever seen. A movie in which the viewer actually cares for the fate of the protagonists? woah, what a novel concept! This movie had me praying the "good guys" succeed. A must see for EVERYONE (with the exception of young children). P.S. Pray Neill Blomkamp can get his hands on the Halo movie rights, he'll take it to new bounds.… Expand

Original and brilliant. One of the best movies of the year.

Great movie! But let me comment also on the negligence of MetaCritic for posting the review by JR Jones of the Chicago Reader which gives away the biggest plot twist in the film. You guys should know better! And also, to a lesser degree, the still pic they show of the lead guy also kind of gives it away to a lesser deree as well. Come on MC, use your brain.

Great!! Even better the second time.

Simply incredible. Smart, tense, engaging, compelling, and believable. A plausible science fiction film, can you believe it? Lets you know right away that cinematic rules will be broken, but never resorts to simple squalor. See this film, right now.

An all around fantastic movie that will grip you from beginning to end.

Down to earth. Literally. The Director shows you just how awful human decision making can get, as well as the deep running greed in our governments. I wont lie, I almost came to tears a few times. Very Gripping. Best two hours ive spent in a theatre in a few years.

Special affects pretty good. Everything else about the movie was pretty bad.

This movie was terrible. Going in with high expectations, I was utterly disappointed. I understand this movie is a statement about our society but I can't think of a single scene I truly enjoyed. It's beyond me why critics and users are giving this movie such good reviews. The exposition was incredibly boring and took far too long. The amount of gore was completely unnecessary. If you enjoy watching people get their heads literally blown into a thousand bloody pieces over and over again I guess this is your type of movie. Add in an incredibly predictable story and you've got District 9. In fact the only positive I could find would be the CGI. The aliens look completely believable and their technology is very interesting to look at. Still, this was by far the worst movie I have seen this year.… Expand

Brilliant, intense, moving, thrilling, stunning, spectacular & unforgettable. The direction and cinematography fired flawlessly on all cylinders and the lead actor in the film gave a truly Oscar worthy performance. The aliens as well as the other special effects were among some of the best i have ever seen. This film was perfection from start to finish so get ready for one helluva ride. Not to be missed!… Expand

Love this movie especially for a sci-fi fan like myself. i wouldn't call the plot a twist, but the plot was very new and something i'm jealous that i haven't thought of first >: ( i loved the characters and couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor aliens getting experimented and tested on though i did love when those bastard MNU soldiers got blown to hell and back again! the ending kept me on my toes and i don't want to give anything away to any readers that have not yet seen the movie, but, everything ends up being ok! and for those critics who think this was supposed to have a large amount of humor or comedy....c'mon guys, seriously!… Expand

This movie was simply amazing, if you like action, great acting and good story you have no excuse to not see this movie!

A great thrill, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire movie. The director makes great use of the actors, and spins an epic tale worthy to be recognized alongside the matrix and star wars.

The movie was more for the thinking person then the action loving fan showing how bad the human race can be but either way i just loved the documentary style and how the whole movie was put togther best ive seen in a very long time.

I was emotionally and mentally exhausted at the end of this film. Without spoiling anything (the "Critics" probably did that for you already), I'll just say that Blomkamph worked within a socially-recognized and Hollywood set of restraints to bring us one of the most original, intense, and socially savvy sci-fi movie of all time (Yes, it's that good). I can't say that this movie truly draws off anything else; the constant references to The Fly or any other movies are somewhat misguided. This movie is truly original and has raised the bar forever!!!!!… Expand

The story is amazing. You really feel for the characters in this movie. Flows very well and I wanted more when the credits rolled...haven't had that feeling in a while.

It was original, it had action, comedy, solid acting, I felt very emotionally invested in the characters, the FX were highly believable and the story and sets were very detailed. Now it wasn't perfect for sure, there were some plot holes and it dragged on in some parts. All up I give it 2 thumbs up and a 9 out of 10 .
