District 9

Alien movie yet again from a small scale Hollywood production house.Hm mm....
Well District 9 is a place in Johannesburg South Africa where this movie is based out of. The movie starts like a documentary on Nat Geo and directly gets to the main point showcasing aliens from the first screen itself. Its about how 20 years ago an Alien spaceship transports aliens to earth and they seem to lose contact with their mother ship leaving them stuck to out planet for a long long time. The look designed for these aliens is something that i have never seen in any of the previous alien movies. They are ugly and look like PRAWNS (sorry fish lovers). They are helped by humans initially to set up a colony (called District 9) which can accommodate them but they soon realize that these aliens are really messy for their neighbourhood due to their acts of violence and slimy presence. Hence they decide to erradicate all the aliens from district 9 and send them back to where they came from. The main character of the movie Vann De Mervee is appointed to lead this team of humans against aliens. What was unique was the way they think of dealing this mission which is by sending the aliens a legal notice to vacate this planet.Wow thats never heard of before. For some strange reason the aliens understand the human language but its not the other way round. Whist in the mission Vann de Mervee gets struck with an alien virus and starts transforming into an alien himself. This is not liked by his group and they decide to showcase him in front of the world as the only Human alien who can operate the alien arms and ammunations. So there is a mafia angle to this movie as well where one of the organization called IMU is interested in figuring out how to master the alien Arms and ammunation technology. They depict the human aspect of greed which is the main sole of the movie. By the second half of the movie the main character almost turns into an alien and his mission is to ensure that the poor aliens are given justice and they reach to their planet. In this process he faces a lot of music from the SA millitary but manages to pull it of for the aliens.
I would not say that this is a avarage movie but if you like alien stuff, then you will not be so disapointed
My Ratings: One and a half star.
