From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original science fiction thriller that "soars on the imagination of its creators" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed... only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.
District 9 was directed by Neill Blomkamp from an original screenplay by Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell. Paul Hanson and Elliot Ferwerda co-executive produced. Bill Block and Ken Kamins executive produced. Philippa Boyens co-produced with Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham as producers.

Instant Classic
District 9 is one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies that has been released in recent years. Unlike most alien movies you get to see the aliens all the time, not just their spaceships like in other movies. The story feels fresh and hasn't been done before. I definitely recommend getting this movie if you are into the whole Alien Genre, it's a future classic for sure.

Pleasantly Surprised by Disctrict 9
I was lucky to see this in August in NYC (check me out ;-)) and was pleasantly surprised how good this was, not too long and great acting by Jason Cope, who has quite a stressful few days at work trying to evacuate aliens from district 9 in South Africa! There's some great humour and it's nice to see an alien movie set outside the USA
