District 9 (2009)


A science fiction directed by Neill Blomkamp, produced by Peter Jackson.
An alien ship arrives in Africa, but no aliens come out. The military open the ship to find the aliens in very poor conditions. A shanty town is erected (called district 9) where the aliens can live. A new town is constructed later and the military sends people in to evict the aliens from their old town and move them to the new town. One of the leaders of this mission is sprayed with alien liquid and begins to transform into one of them.
The whole movie was gross, dirty and very rough, but I believe that this was the intention of the filmmakers. This style achieved it's intended purpose as shootouts and escapes happened. I think that the aliens were very well done, since I couldn't tell if they were men in costumes, animatronic, or CG. The few main characters were good and I liked the plot. There is a really good chase/fight scene in the end where the changing human pilots an alien robot in order to help one of the aliens. I'm rating this good.
