Well, I'd say that Children of Men is currently the measure, not of all sci fi movies, but of all pointedly socially-critical action sci fi movies. District 9 is clearly the same sort of sci fi as Children of Men, so it makes sense to me to hold them up together to compare and contrast. So is WALL-E, funny as that is.
I don't know if they make very many sci fi movies that aren't pointedly socially-critical action sci fi. Off the top of my head, Sunshine isn't, it's like psychological horror sci fi (and fun, but not great). I haven't seen Moon yet so I don't know about it.
