Un entretenido ejercicio de ciencia ficción que es también toda una alegoría sobre la condición racista y discriminadora del hombre.

Reviews for District 9
Um presente inesperado para todos os fãs de uma boa e inteligente ficção-científica.
Le film de Neill Blomkamp brille de par son audace et la pertinence de son propos.
We've seen most of the film's elements before ... but all these ideas have never been assembled in exactly this manner before, let alone with Blomkamp's wit and style.
Works as political commentary, blood-splattering action flick and sneaky-funny comedy.
We'll know if District 9 has become an instant cult classic if this Halloween, children start dressing up as prawns.
Peter Jackson let Neil Blomkamp make his Bad Taste but with all of Jackson's expensive toys.
Original in concept and thoroughly intense, this alien encampment sci-fi thriller quickly devolves into a gritty slaughter chase that never bores but rarely surprises.
District 9 is a ferocious fable. Potent and provocative, it is an allegory for our time. It is bursting with contemporary themes -- oppression, greed, power, propaganda, and the conflict of disparate cultures.
You don’t feel bamboozled, fooled, or patronized by District 9, as you did by most of the summer blockbusters. You feel winded, shaken, and shamed.
The film’s tone moves easily from the comic to the cruel, and the alien creatures look authentic. From the start, the film promises a fresh and thoughtful slice of Swiftian sci-fi.
District 9 ends on a touching scene that evokes Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, but it's an honest film that repays its debts.
You have to go back to 1979 and the premiere of Alien to find a sci-fi ET movie as thrilling and innovative as director Neill Blomkamp's District 9. His satirical fable on racism delivers all the toys and ploys for the fanboys while teasing and teaching t
Perhaps we’re witnessing a new dawn for politically engaged sci-fi and horror, with Blomkamp as a latter-day George Romero. Either way, this is a stunningly impressive debut.
Intriguing, inventive and energetic, Blomkamp's feature debut is a thoroughly tasty prawn cocktail.
A thundering blitzkrieg of seat-rattling entertainment with a sociopolitical message; a cerebral sci-fi and apartheid allegory that is as heavily armed with provocative ideas as it is with armour-piercing, tank-splattering torpedoes.
An entertaining, technically superb if faintly unsatisfying futuristic thriller.
District 9 is that modern rarity: an adventure thriller that’s even better than its advertising campaign.
Fiendishly plotted and with awesomely kinetic (and outrageously bloody) action scenes, Blomkamp announces himself in a major way, without letting the third act crescendo lose focus in a blur of noise.
District 9 is 2009's second hugely impressive sci-fi film after Moon. Both put fresh spins on well-explored concepts.
