District 9 -- The Must See Movie
August 6th 2009 21:54
Peter Jackson talked about District 9 with Entertainment Weekly and he said the movie is “…an utterly original film.” I am prone to agree with Jackson because the movie has no stars; it’s low budget ($30 million) and directed by a 29-year-old, unknown South African named Neill Blomkamp.
Entertainment Weekly has boldly called the movie “the most unlikely sci-fi blockbuster of the season.” We will find out when the movie opens August 14, 2009 but if you are in a city that sponsors previews go see it this week and let me know your thoughts. But I must admit that the movie would be nowhere if Peter Jackson’s name and talent weren’t attached.
I have viewed a couple of District 9 movie trailers, I can honestly say the movie is a science fiction thrill ride with lots of handheld camera work and I kind of surreal, reality TV quality and feel. The movie is about alien refugees who are confined to an area known as District 9 in South Africa. Multi-National United is contracted to govern the Non-humans. The private company will profit tremendously from the activation of alien weaponry, which requires alien DNA. When an MNU operative contracts a virus that alters his DNA, he becomes the most valuable man in the world, as well as the most hunted, because he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology.
