A Gritty and realistic look at first contact......

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2010)

I didn't know what to expect when I read about District 9, the thought of human / alien cohabitation on earth brought back fond memories of the film and series alien nation.
Got a pleasant surprise how ever as I think that segregating the aliens and forcing them to live in slums whilst trying to force weapons and the knowledge to use them is pretty much what we would do if we found some down and out friends form the start stranded on this planet.
Over all I think this is an excellent film and the struggles the main character goes through from being the team leader tasked with evicting the "prawns" to part mutated freak hunted by the government are simply brilliant. You really feel for the guy as he'a forced to execute one prawn after another in order to test the weaponry.
If you haven't seen this film watch it please it rocks so hard!
