My top 3 Sci Fi movies are now:

Fifth Element
The Matrix
District 9

In an order yet to be determined. What a wonderful film. I loved the plot, I loved the cinematography, I loved the documentary style, I loved that the effects are finally COMPLETELY INVISIBLE (at no point in the movie do you go 'wow that was a great computer effect', you just go "holy shit that prawn just blew that guy up! gross!"), I loved the social commentary, I loved the setting, and I loved the lead actor.

I feel like any more would be spoilers...stay away from Ebert's review, it gives away everything--not that it is a movie which depends on its secrets to be good, but the intelligent way in which the film's carefully measured pacing slowly reveals the full story should not be shortcircuited if at all possible.

GO SEE IT NOW! RIGHT NOW!
