District 9 Trailers

Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.

Tone, Script & Story: The aliens have inhabited an area on Earth creating slums. The area is known as district 9. Humans have appointed a team which would help them shift Aliens to new area district 9. The story also highlight's an officer which has turned alien, after getting exposed to their technology. Will he turn human again? What will it take? The above two questions along with the love life of alien turned human set a bar in entertainment that's not easy to break.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: I usually don't go praising CGI maybe because I don't find worth it, but here in this movie I praise it, it was good.Final Verdict: In the run, we get on a roller coaster that's full of entertainment. You cannot afford to miss this if you are a sci-fi fan!

I have to say that at first time I saw the aliens in this movie, I wondered why did I got excited for it!!As a science fiction movies fan, I would say that I liked it. It have all the reasonable factors that makes it a good sci-fi movie.. which is presentation of an unusual phenomena or event or whatever it could be and then the viewer should sit back and watch the effects of it with minimal predictable "smart" interference that usually found in sci-fi movies. This movie is not about aliens.. it is about humans. The aliens are just means to describe human behaviors. Most movies that involve alien race presence would of course showcases human behaviors toward the unknown.. but here and in this movie the aliens are not "unknown". For some reason an obviously more technically advanced alien race got "trapped" on earth. Up to almost half the movie run time, the presentation of aliens was through TV reports and interviews that documents the life of aliens in the restricted slum-like area after so many years on earth. On the second half of the movie run time, that's when the enjoyable part start.. the sympathy toward the aliens reflected back to be a sympathy toward human race for its cruelty and selfishness. I would recommend this movie to every science fiction genre fan.

It explores the relationships between aliens and people - it's not a typical action sci-fi.

The logic level and message are below Rambo XXIII. Oh i know there is no Rambo XXIII , guess why , the answer is they decide that they can not make a worse movie than District 9. OK some clues about movie , you find a bunch of alien but do not care about make any scientific survey , and let all these crowd to a poor 5.th world country boomers. No UN or Nasa or any other organization or country in the field. Ah by the time probably someone steal from the budget.
