This movie was basically about apartheid.

I don't know what people were expecting from this film, but I felt that this movie was great from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat, and by the end of the movie I felt that I had really connected to the characters. The humour in the film really centers around the fact that the way human beings are portrayed in media is so different than reality, and that most of what occurred in this film has happened to real people with families and loved ones. It had good visual effects and I really don't know what people have been complaining about in regards to shaky camera movement. Maybe they didn't get the fact that the introduction to the plot and characters is supposed to be a documentar

I found this movie to be very disappointing. For the most part, it is extremely boring except for the last 20 minutes. And the shaky cam? Really? There's no reason to have a "home video" style movie unless one of the characters is holding camera.

Awesome movie! The plot was interesting and the acting superb! Not the typical Alien movie which was refreshing. Definitely worth seeing!

Was a little hesitant about going because some of the ratings were so negative. Went anyway and found it to be really excellent. Very well done. It starts out as amusing then gradually moves to funny then quickly moves to action filled, edge of your seat entertainment. Not sorry I went. You will be extremely entertained at this movie.

Good movie. The characters were relatable, and I had an interest in what happened to them. Very traditional SciFi in that makes the viewer question assumptions about the moral superiority of humanity. The violence was not at the expense of the story, either. I hope there is no sequel, however. The ending was an excellent resolution for the story.

The movie was very nicely done. Very good animation and sound track. It definitely kept me with bold eyes all throughout the movie. It was actually a very sad movie especially with the way it ended. I still have a lot of questions that were left unanswered. I think there should be District 10 or District 9 II. The acting was good. However, I did not get the BIG point from the movie escept the fact that people will do anything for money. Yet, from the production of the movie and the way it was done I think it was pretty good. I left shocked both good and bad but my bf definitely liked it. If you like gory movies with fiction you should see it!
