Humankind

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2012)

"District 9" is not your average sci-fi flick.Grant it, there are aliens, there is a gigantic space ship, unidentifiable weaponry, but even so there is so much more. We look upon the possible visitors from outer space as mortal danger, but what if we, the humankind, are the real danger. After all, we decimated our own planet, we fight bloody, useless wars, mostly for profit or base revenge, we can excuse any kind of atrocity with lofty nationalist or religious idea. So, is it such an improbability that the aliens are the real victims, and humans real villains? Well not to me at least. I've been around long enough to be surprised by anything.
