District 9 Critic Reviews

  • "District 9 is very smart sci-fi, but that's just the beginning; it's also a scathing social satire hidden inside a terrific action thriller... " Los Angeles Times

    - Betsy Sharkey

  • "With its clever faux documentary style, this is the most imaginative science-fiction movie to come along in years." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "Better conceived and executed than one might expect, this grossly engrossing speculative fiction bears Jackson's blood-splattered fingerprints but also heralds first-time feature director Neill Blomkamp as a nimble talent to watch." Variety

    - Justin Chang
