(I also watched SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE and GRAN TORINO which was great, but that was released the year previous and those were the best of the year as well.) DISTRICT 9 was not that good, in my opinion. It's a love-it or hate-it movie. Mixed blessings.

I enjoyed it, but felt it dragged in spots and was disappointed at the ending (or lack of same). The movie just stopped. Either the filmmakers want the audience to draw their own conclusions or are gearing up for a District 10 sequel. Impressive major film directorial debut for Blomkamp.
