The most wholly original film of the year, shot in a particularly challenging (and completely successful) way, Neill Blomkamp's vision is clearly one to be reckoned with. The story of a man (played brilliantly by Sharlto Copley, Oscar worthy), who goes through the most dramatic change seen on screen since I can't think of when, both literally and figuratively. Everything about this film is 1st-rate. The screenplay is brilliant, the technical aspects are fantastic, and the direction and tone are spot-on. If someone unconvered this film in a time capsule, not knowing it is a fictional work, it's almost believeably enough that you could think it was actual history. It's that good. For once a film left me with something I rarely wish for...a sequel.
