District 9 (2009)

District 9 (2009) by Neill Blomkamp
People was crazy about talking inception that how great film was it. I have different view. In my last five years, my best film is District 9. Not only amazingly solid narrative which contains variety of the modern issues, racism, economically unequalization, and terrorism, but it also uses the documentary cinematography that gives more reality even though it is the scientific fiction genre.

The story,
In 1982, a massive star mother ship, which contained massive population of the aliens, called “Prawns,” appears in Johanesburg’s sky (South Africa). Twenty- eight years later, the initial welcome turns to the hatred toward Prawns. Refugge camp called District 9 is the place where all the aliens lives becomes the militarized ghetto. The government forces them to move to new refugee camp called district 10 having reason that providing better environment for Prawns.

But actually, they want to collect the alien weapons. The main character, Wikus, is the director of the moving project, and he drink the alien chemical liquid. Then he is becoming the alien itself. So, he contacts to the two aliens who plans to re-operate the mother ship for asking them to turn him back to human.
In the district 9, there is a gang who controls the area which government does not take action against them like the real problems of the today’s Africa nations have. The character development of Wikus who is very weak and powerless govern agent becoming develop as mature adult man.
Computer graphic is not overwhelming like Avatar, but it uses as very realistically. approach. A+++++
