Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2014)

DISTRICT 9
This is a really good movie.
The film is about a species of alien that has come to Earth but they can't get back to their own planet. The humans are mistreating them and keeping them locked in their own area called District 9. When the humans decide to move the aliens to another area, they send in a group of people to evict them. The leader if this group gets sprayed with some black liquid and then seems very ill. All of a sudden he is being hunted by the humans. He has to ask the aliens for help.
What I love about this film is the way it is shot. The first half of the film is shot like it is a reality show. A camera crew follow the eviction team around and it is shot like a documentary. It's not until the main character is on the run where it gets shot like a movie.
The effects are great. The aliens look really good. You really dislike them at first, but the more the movie goes on the more you grow to like some of the aliens and hate the way they are being mistreated. I love the little child alien... he is so sweet.
As the film goes on you start to really feel sorry for the guy that is on the run even though at the beginning he seems like a douche.
Another thing I love about this film is the setting. It makes a change for an alien invasion film not to take place in America or the UK. Instead this time they have come down over South Africa.
The action and violence is brilliant. The alien weaponry are awesome. The humans literally explode... it looks great and is really well done.
The acting is good throughout. The stars of the movie are Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope and Nathalie Boltt. But the stars of the film have to be the aliens.
This film is a lot of fun and if you have not seen it I suggest getting it ASAP.
I will give this film 8 out of 10.
