    District 9

    Basic film but pushes all the right buttons. Gets my vote.

    Good film. The first original Sci Fi in a while.

                I enjoyed it too.

                As I am a Seffer myself, it was funny seeing a big budget SFX movie with lead characters who are Seffers.

                I enjoyed the fact that they needed to subtitle the slang.

                Delivers allegories for historical (apartheid) and current(xenophobia) issues that South Africa faces.

                  The first film in ages that I've watched at home and had me glued to the telly from start to finish.

                    Yep, this film and Moon were really outstanding.

                    Understated, but a really big message.
