MNU SPREADS LIES.

District 9 is...something genuinely new.  This is probably one of the best science fiction pieces I've seen in a long time.  While your typical extraterrestrial movies take you to more popular, expected places such as Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., with of course the intent to blow shit up, District 9 takes you through the gritty slums of Johannesburg.  With that in mind, Neil Blomkamp takes you on such a realistic ride.  Alien characters, weapons and technology for once feel credible.  Like most movies without a single multimillionaire celebrity, this illusion of realism isn't once compromised.

Even their viral marketing campaigns (http://www.mnuspreadslies.com/) are so well thought out.  The story is complete.  It's simple.  It's elegant.  And what's most exciting; it's new.
