  Disappointing. This is not a sequel to District 9!
  
  Disappointing. This is not a sequel to District 9! It doesn't even make reference to the first film, Distric 9. Waste of time.

  Ok, the parkour sequence is very good. But the rest of the film is so tragically cr@p it really doesn't matter. Avoid!
