District 9. 2009.
In 1982 over the city of Johannesburg, a space ship arrives, the government set up a area known as District 9 for the aliens to live. When the alien numbers rise, a corporation is formed after violence breaks out between aliens and humans. A agent is exposed to a biochemical and is hunted down while slowly changing.
What starts as a mocumentary with the introduction to the story and those working in the M.N.U. organisation then we are thrown into the eviction of the aliens known as "Prawns", the fights and the exposure then the metamorphosis from human to Prawn. Neill Blomkamp does a tremendous job with the direction and realism of the film. Sharlto Copley who takes the lead as Wikus does a great job of being like the office buffon who does not do confrontation yet able to let something kick him and stand up to being a man. Funny, dark, gritty, suspenseful with great special effects.
