District 9

After much dissapointment and having hope crushed by 'The King Kong' few years ago by Peter Jackson. Now, before 'The Hobbit', here's his new production which ready to get your mind explode like 'The Lord of The Ring'

Plot (Spoieler Warning!)

District 9, abbreviated D-9, is a 2009 science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp, released on August 14, 2009 in North America by TriStar Pictures, starring Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope and Robert Hobbs.

District 9 is based on Alive in Joburg, a 2005 short film directed by Blomkamp and produced by Sharlto Copley. Like the short film it's based on, District 9 takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa, and poses analogies to the events that occured during the apartheid system enforced by South African government between 1948 and 1994. Much of the film is shot in a documentary-style, including a mix of interviews, news footage, and video from surveillance cameras. The title of the movie is a reference to District Six, a former inner-city residential area in Cape Town, South Africa, declared a "whites only" area by the apartheid government in 1966, with a population of 60,000 forcibly relocated to Cape Flats, 25 kilometres away.

The Verdict:

This is not only a new sci-fi, but also a classic of modern movies with the form of cinematography you never watched before! If you do not have this movie under your among your 2009 movie tickets, you'll be still left behind the Star-Wars era.
