Sinopsis(1)
Hace treinta años los alienígenas contactaron por primera vez con el planeta Tierra. La raza humana esperó un ataque hostil o un gran avance en la tecnología. No ocurrió ninguna de las dos cosas. Los alienígenas eran refugiados, los últimos sobrevivientes de su planeta de origen. Al tiempo que las naciones del mundo intentaban ponerse de acuerdo en lo que tenían que hacer con ellas, las criaturas fueron instaladas de forma temporal en el Distrito 9 de Sudáfrica. Ahora, la paciencia en cuanto a la situación de los alienígenas se ha agotado. El control sobre los extraterrestres ha sido delegado en Multi-National United (MNU), una compañía privada que lo que le interesa no es el bienestar de los alienígenas sino las formidables ganancias que les podría reportar su impresionante armamento, en el caso de que pudieran hacerlo funcionar. Hasta el momento no lo han logrado; la activación de las armas requiere ADN alienígena. La tensión entre los extraterrestres y los humanos llega a un punto crítico... (Sony Pictures Esp.)

Verlo en la pantalla en una copia de 35 mm con el propio Neill Blomkamp en la sala es simplemente una experiencia - District 9 pasaría la prueba en cualquier circunstancia. La forma en que combina hábilmente la frenética montaña rusa de ciencia ficción de acción con un fuerte trasfondo social y crítica a la sociedad es única. La película rebosa de ideas frescas y a pesar de todos los temas críticos que aborda, nunca deja de ser ante todo un dulce entretenimiento para los aficionados al género. Son pocos los filmes que tienen un ritmo tan cautivador, que me permitió respirar profundamente solo hasta los créditos finales. ¡Una clásica instantánea!

One of the smartest movies of the year. It's not so much the idea, but rather the way Blomkamp updated the genre. District 9 has everything one can ask for from dejected offshoots, moreover in a completely sophisticated package. And the idea of using a documentary not only as an authenticating component, but above all as a means of explaining abbreviations, simply deserves recognition.

There was a loophole in Hollywood, and a guy who is no stranger to the word "compromise" slipped into the A-list mainstream. I’m glad Peter Jackson gave Neill Blomkamp the chance to make an incredibly engrossing and captivating sci-fi for a ridiculous thirty million. The film squeezes out the subject matter to the last drop, and then there are the special effects sequences. The feeling of "this is how it might actually happen..." beats the viewer over the head in every scene, and yet it doesn't falter in its pace. Objectively, I could ask several "why and how?" questions, but subjectively, I was ecstatic the whole time. If Blomkamp really does make a "Halo" movie, I want to see "Hal-Life" from him too, the guy’s got what it takes! I hope he succeeds.

I resisted the seductive call of the DVDrip so I could watch this film for the first time in the cinema, and now I can say that I would have been furious with myself if I had missed it. Neil Blomkamp delivers a great science fiction film, the best in recent years (and what’s nice is that this isn’t the first time this year that I say this, and maybe not even the last, re: Moon and Avatar). I respect the radical style change between the first and second halves, but I loved the first half better because it’s something incredible and never seen before in the genre and in this form. Rather than to Cloverfield, District 9 is more similar to the unknown Japanese horror film Noroi the Curse, which keeps the documentary format uninterrupted for its entire runtime. The events of the second half could not be captured as a “documentary”, that was very clear to me. Even though it reaches its “WOW” peak somewhere at the beginning, the rest of film is so striking and breathtaking that it was a joy to watch. The occasional lapses in the script are easy to ignore – they aren’t as big as I’ve read in some reviews. I recommend it. Edit: The second viewing brings the rating down to four.

The prawns would probably love Whiskas, but personally I would prefer to pay entrance for a movie that had it clear in its head whether it wants to be a sloppy B sci-fi where the worse it is the better, or E.T., Transformers, Children of Men or War with Newts. I’m not saying that it can’t be combined into one whole, but certainly not by forcibly changing genre every quarter of an hour, forgetting about everything that has come before and shaking a stolen closed circuit camera around like a maniac. I followed the trend presented by Blomkamp and within fifteen minutes I forgot that I had ever seen this movie.
