District 9

This one is different. It starts out as a documentary, giving the audience exposition without boring or unnatural dialogue, then switches to a narrative pretty smoothly. The plot is pretty simple and easy to follow, but it's also very imaginative. While there aren't any real twists or turns that will shock you, there's plenty of excitement to make up for it. I also have to give props to the filmmakers for creating a character that has no actor behind it but still manages to gain sympathy from the audience. Definitely worth catching in the theaters!
