Loved it

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2009)

This film was extraordinary. I found it to be very entertaining and the visual effects were breathtaking. I was very excited to see another Peter Jackson production and boy was I impressed. The whole movie has you on the edge of your seat wondering what could possibly happen next.
This is not a story about aliens in outer space trying to kill everyone, but a film about a race (the aliens) that along with any other race are segregated and forced to act out in order to survive. So this story is so much a Science Fiction film as it is a story about people and some core issues that the people of South Africa struggled with for so many years.
I think this film can be targeted to the person's throughout the world that do not really concern themselves with any issues dealing with people that are not in their immediate circle. This takes film and connects a mass audience to show you the issues on another scale. The core of discrimination and segregation are all the same, person's who are not deemed 'worthy' of our respect because of educational barriers or simply the color of their skin (or in this case DNA makeup) shall be treated like garbage. I think this film brings many different people's entertainment levels into one. Where one would not have found a story about an ordinary guy's shift from watching a fight to living the fight anywhere exciting, this movie brings you that entertainment aspect along with the dramatic story of how a world revolving around politics can be the greediest and most distrustful experience imaginable.
