District 9: Even Better Than Expected...? Headed For Legendary Status...?

"Massawyrm" over at Ain't It Cool News is going a bit ape over the upcoming film District 9. Check this out:

District 9 is a landmark film that will heretofore be spoken of alongside such films as Aliens, The Thing and 2001. What you have seen thus far has not entirely prepared you for it, as it has been a bit deceptive – both in its favor and against. You see, this is not another Mockumentary. This isn’t Cloverfield.

Good god, that is some seriously glowing praise right there. He also states "This film isn’t simply recommended – it is required viewing that will in short order become part of the geek canon."
