District 9 wasn't good, it was great.
It told a real story in the found footage style without being a slave to it. It didn't pretend someone just happened to be recording everything you see and the way he was able to take bug ugly aliens and make me feel something for them after years of watching Sci-Fi and being jaded by it just blew me away.
It is one of my all time favorite films. It some how combined gritty sci-fi with buddy cop action, I have never seen that done before.
I can't wait to see what he does with Alien.
