Saw District 9 a few days ago and it does live up to the hype (believe it).
Never have I seen such an original visually arresting film, blending social issues as racism,exclusion and melodrama wrapped up in sci-fi story. This movie is quite simply the best sci-fi move made in the last five years.
A spaceship suddenly appears over Johannesburg and its inhabitant are insect-like bi-ped refugees who are set to become the new outcasts by the SA government who segregate them in their own township called district 9. A few years go by and things have gotten worse the township has now become a slum and the indigenous population are calling for the aliens to be relocated to intermittent camps 30 miles outside the city.
Cant say too much else without giving all the plot away, but I’ll just say this the ending does not disappoint.
If you have seen already seen this I suggest you checkout the directors other short films by logging into imdb.
