The two reasons you should see District 9 THIS WEEKEND.

The two reasons you should see District 9 THIS WEEKEND.


I saw District 9 a few weeks ago* and the movie's charms are still hooked into the back of my brain. Here's why you should see it this weekend.

1. District 9 is a really, really good movie. Takes sci-fi to a whole new level. Think of what Dark Knight did for comic book movies. District 9 does that for alien flicks.
2. The buzz is only going to grow. And if you don't see the movie now your expectations will outgrow any chance the movie has to wow you. Do yourself a favor and don't cheat yourself of the sublime pleasure viewing this movie now will deliver over the backlash you'll have to vault over from folks who didn't walk into the movie on crutches only to skip out unaided upon the film's close.

*Including a Q&A with the director and lead actor that was really entertaining. My only regret is that I didn't ask my own question. Said question would have been: Just how much of the movie's dialogue is improvised?
