District 9

Good Day Mate !

District 9 ? the story set in Johanesburg , South Africa... woah , i don't know how to exactly describe my feeling after i'd watched this movie. I love the plot , story , acting , drama and philosophy in it. Director Neill Blomkamp did a really good job to make you let your mind and soul into the story and stick your a*s to the seat. Racism? yup, you can say it so , racism against alien... good subject , and i think it's a methapor of our real world...

Sharlto Copley , a new comer acting as Wikus Van De Merwe . Although he is not 'A' list Superstar , but his acting and emotion shown through all the film is very touchy and can be relate to our real life. Love , trust and survive... oh,my ... i hope there is a second installment of this movie... hopefully , Christopher ( the alien aka prawn ) will come back , he had promise to Wikus to come back in three years..hehehe

oh yea... i kinda like their South African accents and the idea of the 'prawns' (alien) being obsessed with cat food and human girl (ouch!).

Want to see this movie again... it's entertaining and satisfy me ...

the ending for District 9 is very sad...oh, i can't write so much about it , don't want to spoil your excitement to see this movie...

DISTRICT 9 :-> 5 Star ! Full marks

And here’s the synopsis for “District 9″ if you haven’t read it yet:

Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. 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: District 9.
