aliens in refuge camps....

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2010)

could be another title for this movie. District 9 is the name of the camps that millions of aliens have been sent to in Johanasburg, South Africa. It seems aliens arrived about 20 years ago and the humans put them in camps and control them. The aliens are called prawns because that means they are the lowest of the low.
The movie is shot like a documentary. Government worker Wikus has been sent to get aliens to sign eviction notices. He picks up an alien cylinder that sprays him with black fluid. It begins to transform him. So, he's captured and this company wants to do experiments on him. He escapes and meets up with an alien whom may be able to help him. So the latter part of the movie is just year average chase film with explosions and such.
FINAL VERDICT: It was OK, the aliens were good special effects and the story made sense. It's also got some nice kill shots for gore fans.
