No Humans Allowed

District 9 has got to be one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Here's why:
  1. There are no big names in this flick.
  2. There are no big names in this flick, hence, it's a refreshing change.
  3. There are no big names in this flick, hence, the movie actually feels 'real' (it's done in a documentary style).
  4. There are no big names in this flick, it's not based on a book and it's original.
  5. There are no big names in this flick and it's still a really great movie.
I could say more but I don't believe in spoilers. Haven't seen it yet? Go catch it before it ends its run at the cinema.

it's not based on a book but it's not entirely original.

it's loosely based on director Neill Blomkam's 1995 short film Alive in Joburg.

It's ok. As long as it's not based on a book. :) Entirely too many films based on books.
