We just finished watching District 9. Greg had seen this movie in the theatre and said it was great. After watching it, I agree. District 9 is a science fiction movie shot in a documentary style about a group of aliens that become stranded over Johannesberg. At first, I had a hard time believing the idea of it because of the film style. However, the more I reflect back on it, the style gives us a more human connection that is similiar to South Africa's apartheid. Several scenes get your heart pumping and I ended up rooting for the aliens at the end. Our main characters help us realize that even though we are all different we need to learn tolerance. See the movie and let me know what you think.
Oh, one more thing. The exploding heads and bodies were a bit icky. Just be prepared.
LOVED this movie. Trailers did NOT do this movie justice. I had no desire to see it in the theater because the just thought it was one more alien movie. So wrong!!
