District 9 Blu-ray Review
Either their guns are getting bigger, or film stars are getting smaller...
PACKAGE: 
Stuffed to the gills. Absolutely stuffed. Plenty of gubbins on here to keep even the most rampant appetite for extras firmly sated. There’s an in-depth director’s commentary from Blomkamp, a good selection of deleted scenes, a very large slice of behind the scenes making-of style documentary goodness and the silly as ever BD-Live and MovieIQ functionality.

Other than that, I think I can honestly say that I was feeling reasonably open minded when I slid this disc into my BR player for the first time. I hadn’t caught this film at the cinema, so the BR release was my first viewing. I think what has impressed me most about District 9 is the freshness and originality of its format and how it maintains that clever balance between pseudo-documentary and cinematic feature. I love anything that employs a slightly ‘from the hip’ approach to its acting, too, and the semi-improvised performances at the heart of District 9 really hit home for me.
So, overall, a fresh, original take on sci-fi, and a hugely impressive debut from a first-time director.
Verdict:

A controversy about this small percentage of people who will live has led to a question. And out of this have risen several other conspiracy theories. One of the most widespread conspiracy theories is that the government will secretly protect a few thousand people in order to preserve the future of humanity. The people that are supposed to be in this group are those in power, are of child bearing age and healthy, and can keep technology from disappearing.
