DISTRICT 9 (2009)



Genre: Sci-Fi/ Action
One of the Biggest Hits of yr 2009 , D-9 is like a Documentary type though simple and Unique Concept.Directed by Neill Blomkamp, D-9 offers a whole new experience for all the Sci-fi movie lovers who can actually get the concept nice and easy.Movie starts with 20 yrs backwards showing an alien ship which hovers above the Johannesburg City in South Africa.Aliens in the movie are represented as Prawns. Aliens thereby reside in the same city.Overcrowding and black marketing leads to a slum known D-9.Movie takes place in 2010. A private company MNU is assigned the task of lookin after the alien welfare which they neglect as they are interested in their advanced bio weapon technology which is unable to use by humans.MNU field operator Van de Merwe is assigned the task to move aliens to a new camp.While inspecting he ocmes across a fluid which spills on his face. Rapid transformations take place.In the Mutation process he develops a claw just like prawns.
A Number of tests are done on him,thereby inferring that he is in balance between human n Alien species.Merwe Escapes from the Lab and stays back in D-9 from where he gets the fluid.Running down the Climax, Merwe gets to know the abilities of the Alien as they can try to rejuvenate their ship n fly off from Planet Earth. So as to what happens to Merwe and the latter ALien population is shown with some percepts of Merwe's colleagues giving interviews and views.
The Movie has got CGI as well as some mind blowing Visual Effects.This is just not a MINDLESS Sci Fi Movie. THE MOVIE LIVES Upto its Expectations and deserves to be one of the Best Sci Fi Movies in Modern times.
