It is in my top five list. I am looking forward to part 2, and the ending was left wide open for a part 2. http://youtu.be/T_AaBbnBbms I highly recommend it. It is thoughtful science fiction and too, the effects are as good as effects get. The character development is well done. Very. Wikus van de Merwe is now a cult hero. Watch it.
OH HELL YES.... "DISTRICT NINE" is a classic. I think it won some awards too.. I've seen it twice already... MUST SEE !!!!
Wikus's wife and family were a touching sub-plot and their trial was as awful as his was. I sure hope to see part 2 before I croak.
