District 9 - 9/10. This one surprised me because I thought it was going to be another politically correct tiresome hollywood morality play on people living in poverty, and maybe it was but it wasn't obnoxious about it. Simply put, this movie kicked major fookin ass. Excellent mainstream sci-fi flick with quite the creative premise (!), exciting plot twists, as well as great special effects and action scenes.
One thing stuck in my craw:
Spoiler: Given the devastating superiority of the alien weapons and battle machines, why were the aliens the ones living in squalor and not the humans they obviously could have defeated in battle?
