District 9-Aliens in town


What would happen if Aliens came to Earth in our lifetime instead of say 2309. District 9 tries to answer that question and it does a damn good job of it. Though it could also be a wonderful satire on aparthied, it is also a wonderful sci-fi movie and raises some very interesting questions.
The film starts 20 years after an alien ship comes to Johannesburg, of all places. In these 20 years the aliens became part of a big slum outside the city thriving with crime. The film takes us from there to questions about what would happen if the aliens are to come and live with us, not in a technologically advanced 100 years time, but now.
A must see for any sci-fi lover. Don't miss it.
