Twenty years ago, an extra terrestrial mothership appeared above the earth. Humans waited for a hostile attack or giant advances in technology. Instead they found a stranded refugee group of non-humans, possibly the last survivors of their own world. As the world's nations argued over what to do with them, the creatures were relegated to a ghetto area - District 9.

Saw this on the big screen. Terrific, original sci-fi thriller. The location gives it a real authenticity and so does the way it is filmed. Some awesome sequences that keep you on the edge of your seat. Really worth seeing. I can see why Peter Jackson got on board.

Very original SF if you watch over the first half hour which is pretty boring and filmed like a documentary.

The special effects are heaps good and sometimes shocking. The first vision of the aliens is quite funny, kind of the one scene in the first star war, the bar scene but you will get used to them once the action has started. I found the characters very down to earth and the idea is quite simple however it works. A pity that the end turns into a lenghty battle good vs bad with explosions, guns... Hire it you might enoy it even more than I did.
