District 9

District 9Hmm, where to start … Now this is one odd movie. It is sort off a story about racism and segregation/apartheid, and is actually set in South Africa. The suffering part here are aliens. They arrive in a spacecraft, and for some reason unknown, or maybe not picked up by me, they cannot take care of themselves and are put into a refugee camp. Conflict soon arise and effort is made to keep the alien population apart from humans. At the same time some of the aliens are making an attempt to regain their vessel in an attempt to leave earth. Conflict arise when the government wants to move the refugee camp further away from human population. The movie mostly revolves around following the government official put to the task of removing the inhabitants of the camp. The style of the movie is documentary, a twist on the “Cloverfield” feel to it. It all makes for a very different movie experience, which of course is a bonus.

My rating: 8/10
