District 9, brilliant!

I watched District 9 yesterday without knowing anything about this movie beforehand, and I was blown away by its awesomeness!

Finally we have a sci-fi film with original concept, unique style, believable CG, good pacing, great acting, fantastic action sequences and a bit of comedy. It also touches on racism, ugliness of humanity and leaves people something to think about after they walk out of the theater.

With a budget of mere 30 million dollars and no-name actors, it far surpasses big-budget garbage like Transformers 2. I am so glad that this movie does so well at the box office. It seems a sequel is on the way and I look forward to seeing it!

Thank you Neil Blomkamp and Peter Jackson for bringing us such a great film!
