District 9-some

District 9! Woot.

Great flick. Lots of cool visuals, amazing effects and another confirmation that WETA is destroying anything ILM tries to dream up. That's right, they are so good they are actually entering dreams and wreaking havoc.

Story was good, there were some unique structural elements that I enjoyed and there were even a few issues and themes that (gasp!) might make you think. Apartheid = bad. Check.

I saw it with Slippers, Alex and Mr. Mission and all seemed impressed. Mission presented a slightly dissenting opinion immediately after the film, but we badgered him until he changed his mind.

And as if that wasn't enough good times I had a delicious banana popsicle afterwards before we retreated to the park and bocci! I even won the first game. OUTSTANDING.
