Alien Nation movie/TV series did it much better!

Rating: 1/10 (4 February 2011)

If you wish to watch something with the exact same premise only with fully fleshed out characters, both human and alien, check out the movie and television series entitled "Alien Nation." I can usually enjoy all science fiction and can allow for some plot holes(as long as they're not so big that you spend the entire rest of the movie going "this is too stupid"). District 9's biggest plot hole - that the alien space ship's fuel would turn someone into an alien caused D9 to fail in the number one requirement of good science fiction - make the audience enter the world and believe it "could" happen. And even if I bought the whole "fuel turns you into an alien", why wouldn't the aliens turn all the humans into their own kind to avoid oppression?
