District 9 is shot in a documentary style that lends itself well to the overall feeling of the film. Starting at the end, you are slowly fed the rest of the story and come to realize that nothing is what it seems. When Wikus, a government agent, is infected, he finds himself seeking refuge in the very place he was determined to destroy and running from those he once worked. Flipping the way aliens are normally depicted through movies, District 9 reminds us that all living things matter. This film is an action packed thrill ride that is not soon forgotten.
