I thought it was a well told story. You may not be a fan of the subject matter but you cannot deny that this movie was masterfully delivered. The special effects weren't shoved down your throat at any point. Shit just happened, and it happened fast, no exagurated slo-mo action shootouts, just straight up real time "oh fuck that guy just got toasted" ala full metal jacket style.
the pig scene made me lol, a lot. Blink and you'd miss it too.
the thing is they left the ending perfectly, perfect for saying "watch for district 10 in 3 years"
it's so open ended though, you have no idea which way they'd take it for the sequel.
The core of the plot though should make every one of us human beings take a moment to reflect on our moral ambiguity when it comes to what we do "in the name of humanity" because we place ourselves higher on the totem pole than anyone else when it comes to advancing science, military technology, or exerting authority over ones rights.
