District 9


Recommended Posts

District 9 is a 2009 science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp, released August 13, 2009.[2] It takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa. District 9 is based on Alive in Joburg, a short film directed by Neill Blomkamp, Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley. The title and plot elements are influenced by the real-life District 6 in Cape Town. Copley also portrayed one of the interviewed policemen. The short film is about aliens landing in South Africa and becoming confined to a specific area and forced to work.

From what I've read about this and the clips and movie shorts I've seen - this looks like it's going to be DAMNED good!

Anyone else going to go check this one out?

I just saw the movie earlier this evening. I was gonna prepare to start the District 9 topic, due to the fact that I am probably the first one to see it. As of now I may be the only one who's seen it, for now. In it, a man slowly transforms into an alien. He ends up in a lab so they could perform experiments. He escapes and they hunt him. In the end he's fully transformed.

Thanks for spoiling the film for everyone. Nice.

I saw it the other day. I really enjoyed it. It didnt seem like any other Alien movie I'd ever seen. On a deeper level, I think it really touches on how savage we can be in terms of discrimination against others who dont look or act like we do. I would encourage everyone to check it out.
