Not your typical sci-fi

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2012)

District 9 takes real world problems happening in South Africa among places, and transforms it into a fictional sci-fi thriller. Wikus is the Head of Operations for the relocation of the prawn-like aliens. Wikus is a company man and doesn't have mercy for the alien race when it comes to abiding by the companies rules and policies. The company is pretty cruel with the treatment the aliens, they are treated as inferiors to the human race. Let's just say the script is flipped on Wikus as you prepare for this intense ride. The film does a great job of bringing the audience into the character of Wikus and takes for a emotional ride.
