District 9 (2009) -- It Could Happen...LOL!



I just got back from the the movie theaters, packed as usual.. I have been seeing the comercials for District 9, and thought it seemed like a good choice.. Aliens and humans on earth living together living there seperate lives.. But what happens when you clash 2 different races on the same planet, and one race doesn't want to be here to begin with..? Riots, murder, extortion, scam artists, and all other sorts of chaos that deals with these such derastic situations. But most of all retaliation. Can we live in unity and order and set our differences aside..?

What i really liked about this movie is that it was based as a documentary. By doing this it really set the mood for the story. It shows how main character Grey Bradnam (Jason Cope), a UKNR Chief Correspondent, is covering live footage of eviction of District 9, with strict forces, to help control the Alien population. But Grey has no idea what he is getting himself into by a series of unfortunate events happen from just his own smugness and curiosity.

Another thing that i like alot was how the way the Alien technology was portrayed. The power and mystery behind each weapon, not knowing the capabilities that they have. The CG had an awesome Transformerish like effects, which is really impressive for a movie with such a small budget..! Even by using no name actors, i think that this movie may have started a launch to a few careers, by captivating the audiance and drawing them into the story.. As the plot grows you grow a close relationship, and see how each character's personality is really like.. Also the movie leaves the story open for a sequel.. I'm calling it now "District 10" lol... But to make a long story short.. this was an excellent movie that made me actually think and wonder if this could really happen.. I dunno you tell me...;)
