Category: English/Prawn languageThe film has obviously been watched by a lot of folks so the plotline isn't really worth talking about it in here. But just in case I'll still do it. The world has been exposed to its first real extra-terrestrial visit, not much is known about them except that they are stranded here and while they take residence some of them turn out to be violent. They are then moved into District 9 a slum in South Africa.
Shortly after that a few decades later they are to be moved into a completely different area which will be heavily guarded. The Earth leaders want to make sure they can operate Alien technology while one of the "Prawns" (derogatory term to them due to their features) has figured a way back to get home and possibly move on from Earth. Wikus is in charge of this operation and gets infected with a spray that starts converting him to the very people he was supposed to evacuate.
The movie deals with a lot of themes pertaining to futuristic theories such as xenophobia towards aliens and explores social structures on a basic level. There's of course the presence of the local mafia who are dominating the prawns. There's heavy exploitation ironic enough done by the one race that's been exploited for centuries. I liked the film because it was the first time some theories like this got addressed. Although in anime there have been tons of examples of such themes getting covered.
Recommendation level: 3/5 - Oh the alien guns ZAP well : )!
