Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact.
Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them.
Now patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide:

There's not lots of white South Afrikans in it, is there? Like, talking (shudder)?
i've seen the movie but i can't say that it's my thing. but you're right. great visual effects, how it was made & with some humours which make it entertaining. but as i said overall not for me. i like your videos though. so cool the way you edited it. great idea! well done & keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI am first time here at this blog. Its very nice and interesting. I haven't see this movie till now. But after reading this post I wanna to go for it.
ReplyDeleteGargon, I'll be interested in hearing your take on the movie. Usually aliens head to New York went they visit Earth, so why not South Africa of its good enough to host the world cup then why not aliens!
ReplyDeleteNinth Sunn - you have a fantastic blog and I chuffed that you liked my video posting. District 9 may not be for everyone, but its not the typical sci-fi movie Hollywood churns out. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you soon

Excellent review! District 9 was one of the most unusual and thought-provoking movies I've seen in a long time. There were many uncomfortable moments and the portrayal of the different groups shied away from the political correctness that might have resulted if it were made in the UK. However, it was refreshing to see a sci-fi blockbuster based on the African continent.
