You want something different and original ? Prawns of D9 can provide it.

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2009)

District 9 was this years secret ace. But it exceeds expectations of a thinking sci-fi audience. District 9 is basically crisis of an alien arrival to Johannesburg South Africa and its effects on everything after two decades. But unlike a stereotypical evil aliens bent on destruction of humanity and taking over the planet ( do sci-fi writers or audience ask themselves what is so special about this little planet or humanity anymore while writing scripts ? ) these are chaotic , aimless , half starved creatures who landed to small planet of ours because their giant spaceship hovering above Johannesburg is out of fuel. South African government transfers them to a temporary camp outside the city due to international pressure. But temporary camp becomes permanent , militarized and at the and turns into a isolated slum called District 9. Aliens segregated and mistreated by human population of South Africa in general. Because they look different almost ugly. We humans are so easy to judge them from their outer appearance we can not comprehend they are sentient living beings..They are called Prawns , a degenetaory term due to their half cockroach half locust outlook. They are humiliated and segregated from humans by force. There are special public places they can enter and they can not. ( Subtle Apartheid allegory from director Neill Blomkamp ) Nigerian gangsters who move in to District 9 exploit them with various scams , like selling their favorite meal , cat food with high prices...And now a large arms manufacture company MNU ( Multinational United ) contracted to baby sit aliens and District 9. MNU does not give a damn to well being of aliens. All they care are advanced alien weaponry brought with them. Because humans can not operate alien DNA coded weapons MNU takes it as far as making medical experiments on Prawns...
This whole universe laid out in first ten minutes with a largely mocumentary TV program edition. You can get the feeling this is news channel or documentary of already happened. Then main plot starts from tragic dramatic story of one man. Wikus Van der Merwe. A MNU official a bureaucrat who is tasked with alien affairs. A regular everyday man Wickus he has same prejudices against aliens with rest of society. Not because he is a bad man but the society he is living in makes this prejudices as a reflex. He does not even acknowledge that he is treating Prawns wrong. When novelty of alien first contact wears of and it is clear Prwans are just refugees who do not offer anything MNU starts moving 1.8 aliens population from District 9 to a far away camp District 10. By force if it is necessary. Wikus is the one of several MNU officials to notify them eviction notice in District 9. During his search in District 9 he contacts some alien chemical with slowly turn him to a prawn. As a result his life is ruined he is the most wanted man in South Africa now because he is the only human being who can operate alien weaponry. He goes only place he can seek refugee now...District 9
It is clear that Peter Jackson and new director Neill Blomkamp try to display our human nature to screen. Our ability to prejudice , exploit , segregate and even hate to others who do look like and act differently as a society...At the entrance of District 9 there is a huge statue , a Human and a Prawn hand to hand but it is worn down and disrepair...Just from it atmosphere is apparent. The message is clear. The idea of humans and aliens co existing , living together has lost its appeal long time ago..We humans are majority on the planet and we are the hunter gatherers by instinct. We do not care anybody else because it is not in our nature..Second half of movie goes from mockumentary and hand held camera to regular film making with themes of run-pursuit and sci-fi action....Ironicly as Wikus transforms to a creature like scientist in The Fly he becomes more and more human with good traits...like self sacrifice , help , understanding...Sharlto Copley as Wikus Van der Merve shows an excellent acting performance...
Conclusion :If you like smart thinking man's sci-fi with regular CGI action diet ( final battle is quite satisfying though it is a little bit gory ) do not miss District 9...
