District 9 Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
I don't know guys, at the end of the day it's aliens and hard for me to take this seriously.
NPR
Jeannette Catsoulis
The wonder is that despite its obvious roots, District 9 feels staggeringly original.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
It's a brashly confident debut, full of sharp, inventive detail (the prawns are crazy for cat food) and rooted in a couple of Big Ideas. Well worth the time, if not all of it.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
What the sci-fi action flick District 9 lacks in famous faces it makes up for with sheer imagination.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
You don't feel bamboozled, fooled, or patronized by District 9, as you did by most of the summer blockbusters. You feel winded, shaken, and shamed.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
[The "popcorn" egg-burning scene] in a way represents the whole film: There's popcorn appeal for casual viewers, but something more vital and desperate at stake underneath.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
To call this the best shrimp-from-outer-space South African apartheid allegory ever made does not begin to do it justice. But it's a start.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Instead of running around and shrieking, this story posits an even more believable reaction to an alien invasion --- a bureaucratic one.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The backstory beats the hell out of the present-tense plot, a routine affair in which a well-meaning doofus working for the Man is infected with a virus, starts turning into an alien himself, and falls in with the oppressed creatures.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
In this summer of gargantuan mediocrities, a modestly budgeted project with an actual idea in its head, and the wiles to manifest it onscreen, exploding heads and all -- that's something.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A memorable, monstrous fable that's consistently gripping.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The movie falls into the same uneasy category as Eight Legged Freaks: too tongue-in-cheek to be thrilling, not funny enough to be a comedy.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
In a good summer, there's usually a movie that will come out of nowhere and completely wow us. This is a good summer, and that movie is District 9.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Every now and then, a film comes along that both defies and compels description.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
The film all but gets away from [the director] as battles take over and opportunities to explore the story as more than the sum of its weapons disappears.
Slate
Daniel Engber
As an allegory of racial conflict and mass immigration, District 9 never really goes anywhere: The appealing premise fades into the background before 20 minutes have elapsed.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
You've seen alien invasion flicks before, and you've seen more than your share of summer blockbusters. But you've never seen anything quite like District 9.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
This might go down as the year that science-fiction cinema, despite the deafening crash and clangor of sparring robots, began to rediscover its brains, heart and soul.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A thinking man's, or man-boy's, Transformers.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
If you're looking for the late-summer special-effects action fantasy with big franchise potential, forget about G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. (You already forgot? Fine.) Instead, proceed directly to District 9.
