Harry Palmer here and I have got to tell you District 9 is pretty awesome.
You may have seen some of their viral advertising or their trailers and thought “What the hey is this all about?” Well let me tell you, it’s about 2 hours of awesome.
Now you know it’s not in theaters yet, but I have a few friends on the “inside” and I got to see a special screening of it, and I’m telling you the effects were awesome and the action was awesome and everything else was awesome too.
There’s a cop who totally knows all this urban streetfighting karate stuff and he goes into this special district to rescue his sister who was kidnapped by the drug lords. They’re in this area of South Africa were the aliens are segregated (clever bit that makes you think, doesn’t it?). So the cop goes in and he does all this super crazy jumping and back flipping off buildings, front flipping, side flipping, flipping pancakes, you name it and he does it. He gets chased all up and down the District 9 until he finds out that the mayor is looking to (SPOLIER ALERTS!) blow the whole place up!
Well, he doesn’t stand for that so he jumps and spins and kicks his way out of there and saves the day. He stops the bomb, the aliens are safe to jump and backflip all over the city, and everyone goes home a little beaten up, but safe and alive.
It would have been easy to just make this a nonstop roller coaster of action (I almost thought that I'd need an oxygen tank to watch the whole thing!), but that’s not what they did, they put a lot of stuff in there that makes you think. The girl isn’t just some damsel in distress, she’s a real tough cookie in her own right.
So when District 9 comes out, you must totally go see this movie. It’s an action packed thriller syfy adventure that’s not afraid to make you think.
