Super Sci-Fi

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2013)

Was gonna give it an 8 but i just cared so damn much about the prawns that it made me realise that out of all the big summer blockbusters I've seen, this one really got me rooting for the main characters.
Brilliant concept for a film and i enjoyed the documentary style scenes, it really gives a huge sense of realism. The choice of Johannesburg is good as well, it allows for the film to tackle some real life issues as well as deliver a mind blowing sci-fi plot.
The film definitely has a point to make about apartheid and racial segregation. This movie shows how harsh humans can be when there is a different race looking to seek refuge in their country, it really makes us out as monsters at points.
The main character is played brilliantly by Sharlto Copley, looks like he could become a huge star off of the back of this film. The scene where he describes his wife as an angel comes at the just the right point and really makes you feel for him.
Perfect sci-fi film. Those who are going expecting loads of action and cool weapons won't be disappointed.
