[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
How can a 30-million-dollar picture have special effects as great as a 200-million-dollar picture? We should ask Peter Jackson, producer of this original piece of sci-fi trash. Aliens have a spaceship hovering over South Africa, been there for 20 years, human had to learn to live with them. They arent violent, they are like us, only they look ugly and eat cat food. They live is the slums, but people dont want them near the city anymore so they are about to be deported a couple of hundred miles further. I wont give more details, it could spoil the film. It begins like a documentary, sometimes it shows news excerpts, sometimes it becomes an Hollywood action movie. Director Neill Blomkamp blends many style and is always in control of his film. Its original, funny, extremly gory and always entertaining. District 9 is definitely refreshing after the crapfest that was this year's blockbuster season, with the exception of a few films. What makes it interesting though, is its message. District 9 isnt only a metaphor on immigration and intolerance, but it also recalls South Africa's recent history and it never over-achieves it. It asks the right morale question and then let it go, without shoving it down our throat. Like Wall-E last year, the most human character of the film isnt even human. Its amazing how an prawn looking alien can become so likable and even manages to feature in the most moving scene of the film, and its all computer generated. The ending is intense, much more than what anyone could expect, that guy Blomkamp got skills and could teach Michael Bay how to direct an action sequence. Maybe Peter Jackson gave him a few advice. Not to be missed.
