The new movie directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by the legendary Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) is earning cirtical praise. Rottentomatoes.com, the movie review mega-site, rated the movie with extremely positive scores (currently at 95% average with top critics at 100% average on Thursday Aug. 13th, 2009). Pretty good for Blomkamp’s directorial debut and a movie during the summer slump. I’m excited to see it doing well and hope that people give it the support it needs at the box office.

Rottentomatoes.com Consensus: Technically brilliant and emotionally wrenching, District 9 has action, imagination, and all the elements of a thoroughly entertaining science-fiction classic.

It is an action movie, but it is being deemed “smart” unlike some other action movies this year. *cough* Transformers *cough* It is said to have a sense of reality and gravitas that grips you. The plot reads as follows: “An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly find a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.” The movie releases tomorrow, Aug. 15th, 2009. Get out and see it – support good movies instead of shit like Transformers, The Ugly Truth, G-Force, and Night at the Museum 2.
