    A real OG one

    Emotional & engrossing movie w/ A+ 4K presentation

    "District 9" is one of those movies that somehow I'd never gotten around to watching despite being a big fan of science fiction movies. I can now see why Neill Blomkamp is so revered by SF movie fans. This manages to feel like such an original story while simultaneously being a very blunt depiction of human society. I'm reluctant to say more because I don't want to give away any plot points. What I will say though is that I'm actually GLAD that I never saw this movie until viewing this 4K presentation. For a movie that was shot documentary-style on HD cameras, this is one of the clearest and most detailed 4K UHD transfers that I've seen. It looks closer to a native 4K movie than movies actually filmed in 4K. Similarly, the Atmos track--particularly the subwoofer channel--is extremely active and engaging. Everything about this A/V presentation helps to pull viewers into the action. Definitely recommended!

    Great Upgrade.

    Loved this movie when it came out in theatres, and couldn't wait to get a copy of the Blu-Ray upon it's release. The Blu-Ray, in it's own right, is a good disc, but this 4K version is superior in every way. Detail in the costumes, sets, and especially the creatures are much imporved. The movie isn't particularly colorful, but the HDR usage here makes the colors pop and the black scenes are deep and inky. The new Dolby Atmos soundtrack is demo worthy..especially in the climactic action scenes. Is this version a reason to double-dip? Absolutely. It's a worthy upgrade in every way.

    Highly recommended.

    Taking a chapter from one of the darkest periods of South African history, Neill Blomkamp's District 9 is an insightfully weighty and masterfully told tale that remains just as entertaining a decade later. In fact, the inventively brilliant sci-fi actioner continues to surprise and feels all the more relevant and poignant today with its allegorical plot on systemic oppression and xenophobia. The sci-fi favorite crash lands on Ultra HD with an impressively beautiful 4K HDR10 presentation and a top-notch, reference-quality Dolby Atmos soundtrack, besting its Blu-ray counterpart. Although it doesn't really offer any new supplemental material to boast about, the overall UHD package is nonetheless highly recommended.
