“District 9 grabbed me right away with its faux-documentary style and how real everything feels, helped by some incredible practical and visual effects. It’s exciting, smart sci-fi that quietly brings awareness to morality and xenophobia without ever feeling heavy or preachy. One of those films that really hits when you see it on the big screen.” – Evan
