   That *is* odd.   Is there any particular sci-fi film you would never   
   get tired watching again?   
      
   I did not know what to expect when I started to watch District 9. I   
   liked the seemless CGI with live-action.   
      
   But the film also leaned pretty heavy on the sociology of co-living   
   with aliens. I think I read somewhere that it was purposely a   
   message about segregation and apartheid. Maybe that aspect steers   
   some people away who are primarily seeking entertainment, not a   
   "lesson".
