District 9

So I just saw District 9 and it ROCKED. Done in Documentary style and cinema style mixed, it takes place in Johannesburg Africa. An Alien Ship has floated over the city and after 3 months the humans check it out. The aliens are all messed up and they are taken out of the ship and taken to a relocation camp which turns into a slum. The aliens are treated like second class citizens who are called prawns a derogatory term. So the movie takes a little time to build as we watch the humans denigrate the aliens. Eventually the citizens want the m out of the city proper and the plan to move them 100 or so miles out of the city. As the private company(HMU) contracted to remove the aliens begin to do so, we see that the aliens are scroungers, eat cat food, and are just generally wacky they are restricted to this slums and they eat rubber and just do weird shit. Any way some aliens are “bad “stealing guns from humans and stealing and just behaving badly. As the private company tries to evict the aliens the leader of the HMU The private company gets sprayed by some black juice. He starts to react to the juice in a very negative way. Getting sick and starting to physically change it’s at this point that his own company starts to look at him as an experiment rather than an injured employee. They want to see if this transformation will allow him to operate alien weaponry, this seems to be a theme of why MNU has been involved they are conducting various experiments to the aliens. As the dude that has been sprayed starts to change he finds that he can’t trust the government and that the aliens also don’t trust him he is all alone with no one to help him some pretty heavy themes in the flick racism, antigovernment, corporate corruption and many others plus a little Sci-Fi loved it you should too, check it out
