District 9 (2009)
Sci-Fi/Action/Thriller Rated R
Plot
In 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty-eight years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends.
Acting
Very good, though there is only 1 big human character.
Gore
Humans and Aliens both are shots, explode, get crushed, etc... all gore i handled in a realistic manner and is not over the top.
Sex/Nudity
None
Final Thoughts
A very good movie, that live up to it's hype. The special effects are astounding and the story, acting and writing are all very good as well, Definitely a movie worth everyone should see, and own, Neill Blomkamp, the director, hit the jackpart in his feature feature length film of what i hope will be many.
Overall Rating
B+
