I went to see District 9 with Max and Dill today, thoroughly enjoyable! Let me start by singing the Savoy's praises: If you live in Nottingham, don't muck about with Cineworld or Showcase, go to the Savoy! It's cheap as chips, relaxed and doesn't have a disorientingly loud sound system.
District 9 offers hard hitting political messages, a compelling story (both character-driven and plot-driven aspects kept me hooked) and is immersive to say the least. By the end I was starting to worry what we were going to do about the alien 'situation' in South Africa and had to remind myself IT'S FICTION.
It left me with the same feeling I had after finishing Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, as the film focuses so intensely on many of humanity's flaws. It's hard not to get bogged down in depression if you think about this kind of thing for too long, but there is hope.
