Review of District 9

District 9 (2009)
2/10
Literally unwatchable
27 August 2009
I had to leave the theatre after half an hour because the "Blair Witch Project" camera-work was so awful that I was literally about to vomit on the theatre floor. The funny thing, is the way the plot was developing, it would have seemed perfectly acceptable to do so.

The story itself piqued my interest and I am curious to know how the plot turned out. On the other hand, the allegorical politics of the movie were so heavy-handed and sophomoric that I don't think I would have enjoyed the movie even had the producer sprung for a tripod.

Mostly, I'm thankful that I didn't spring for popcorn on the way in. (Or, shrimp cocktail, for that matter.)
