Reinvents the Sci-fi genre

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2019)

When you think of Sci-fi movies you imagine a battle between two spaceships in outer space, a war that takes place throughout a galaxy, or a high-tec story set in a distant planet. However, District 9 takes all you think you know about Sci-fi and brings it home to earth, specifically South Africa. Putting the ideas of a Sci-fi movie into our own slums and ghettos creates a brilliant depiction of abuse and suffering. This movie has so much social commentary and realism around it, that it'll make you wonder how humans would actually treat aliens if this happened in real-life. See this movie and just let it take your mind away to give you some food for thought.
