District 9-Going to see it again

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2009)

"District 9" is a science fiction film that clearly states a message in it's arc of story. Producer Peter Jackson and first time director Neil Blomkamp takes a documentary/mock"u"mentary approach that we should understand other unknown species, we should protect strange lifeforms that come in our science laboratories and we should envict, protect and care for illegal human aliens who get a free ride into the country without being a licensed citizen and can't find a way to live on money because their jobless , that is the reality we have to face.
The fantasy of this movie is the fictional South African character Wikus Van De Merwe played by Sharlto Copley who gets picked upon as the head of the Department of Alien Affairs at Multi-National United Environmental Corporation in Johannesburg, South Africa to do a job. Wikus and his G-Men are going to drive out to the District 9 colony where these so called aliens nicknamed "prawns" have been living there for the last 28 years and now all the general population people want them out of the city, but MNU is buildung a facility called District 10 to keep these aliens away from the busy day lives of Earthlings. MNU has these big over-sized motor vehicles to keep them safe. The District 9 Colony is a junkyard and I mean a junkyard. These aliens who look like grasshoppers, shrimp and lobster tails with a over-sized tunic on their bodies need a reality check but they also need protection and possibly death. Some of them have children. While Wikus is their he finds a Nigerian soldier who is guarding the District 9 colony and only asks for money and aims a weapon at him. The third act of this movie is a action-packed thrill ride. Wikus transports himself with the alien spacecraft to the mother ship but does not succeed.
With all the hype out their and all the fanboyism "movies" this summer, "District 9" is a film that will be understood by the general population if you the moviegoer "tells them what I just explained to you".
Peter Jackson is a genius. Him as a producer is going to be what really sells this movie. Move over "Lord of the Rings"(joking because I'm a fan of that movie) because there's a newbie in town. Director Neil Blomkamp is also the genius storywriter. Blomkamp took the science fiction genre and turned it right side up telling a story and visually shocking the general moviegoers who are just passing by for a entertaining show. I can't wait to see this film again. It will help us grow a little each day.
