District 9 is an unusual film. Initial observations show it to be an unusually excellent science fiction movie. Which it is, and that is one of it's primary strengths. But District 9 represents a brand of film that isn't seen very often. Instead of focusing on action and science fiction elements like similar films from the genre, District 9 is told from the perspective of one character, Wikus van de Merwe. District 9 isn't so much a science fiction movie as it is a character drama, following the struggle for identity of the main character Wikus as he goes through a traumatic experience. This element is what makes District 9 good. It works well as an action driven science fiction movie, but it also shows a deeper meaning in it's main story. District 9 is a quality piece of filmmaking with a lot to say. \ The film is really worth a view.
