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.
I listened to a discussion about this today and it was pointed out that this hasn’t been redone to death. And it kind of makes me sad that some amazing films age badly just because there are inferior attempts to “do it” again.
There are so many great things about this film. You do have to wonder just how hands your man PJ was with this, cos certainly NB hasn’t even come close since…
