Sharlto Copley deserves a nomination for best actor Oscar. He played the affable dolt, the coniving honcho, the persecuted fugitive all in one character. His ability to change from these emotions while staying true to the persona is amazing.

A sci-fi-fueled indictment of man's inhumanity to man -- and the non-human -- District 9 is all horribly familiar, and transfixing. Full Review

The New York Times
In the best B-movie tradition, the filmmakers embed their ideas in an ingenious, propulsive and suspenseful genre entertainment, one that respects your intelligence even as it makes your eyes pop (and, once in a while, your stomach turn). Full Review

Every now and then, a film comes along that both defies and compels description. District 9 is one such movie: a science-fiction action vehicle so brilliantly and fully imagined that real life, when it resumes after the credits, arrives with a new sense of dread. Full Review

District 9 is very smart sci-fi, but that's just the beginning; it's also a scathing social satire hidden inside a terrific action thriller teeming with gross aliens and regrettable inter-species conflict. And it's a blast. . . . Full Review

With its clever faux documentary style, this is the most imaginative science-fiction movie to come along in years. Full Review
