District 9 is one of those movies you think about when it's over. The presentation creates a feeling of verisimilitude which empowers the narrative in ways we as audience aren't immediately aware of. It takes the utterly fantastic notion of space aliens forced to live in slum conditions outside a major city and forces us as viewers to identify with them. It demands we see ourselves potentially in their suffering and of course that's whole point of Neill Blomkapp's best movie. He's tried, but he's never topped it yet.
Rip Off
