Unlike most sci-fi film, "District 9" shows a rather different presentation of alien invasion. Instead of showing high technology weapon of aliens and hostile attack by alien, the aliens were sadly the refugees contained in a place known as District 9 in this film. The director brilliantly making the film in a faux-documentary style which eventually turn into a touching heroic story. Without any big name behind the film, it still definitely have the goods. It reflects on cruel human nature, diversity and some controversial issues, including weaponry trading, illegal experiments, violence, etc. The interesting concept with a captivating backstory had make the film a success. It's not a film with high budget, thrilling special effects, or mass action scene, but the compelling characters had exceed beyond all these. Overall, this is a nice film, and it's really worth watching it.
