District 9

I saw District 9 this weekend.  Who stars in it?  I have no idea.  Who directed it?  No idea either.  Was it good?  You betcha.  It was the rare SF film that actually lives up to the hype. 

It tells the story of aliens who are on Earth and have been interred at an area of Johannesburg called District 9.  Playing at a brisk one hour and forty-eight minutes, it is clever, well paced and has an engaging storyline.  District 9 is worthy film that brings a new and interesting twist to the alien vistor genre.

I give District 9 three and a half Billys.
