REVIEW: Can you imagine science fiction film without space battles, global conflict and extensive computer graphics that replaces everything else? District 9 tries to change views mind and turn him back to the origins of good science fiction. This movie raises standards of fiction cinematography to the new level in its attempt to balance breathtaking plot with intelligent dialogues and important moral dilemmas.
The story of alien invasion is completely unusual in District 9 – outsiders that came to Earth on their huge spaceship are barely capable to take care about themselves due to some deceases. However people all people around the world and of course the government is deeply worried about that situation and tries to find solution that would let them to keep situation under control. Finally the decision is taken and special district for alien is separated with razor wire and high walls. Outsiders are treated more like illegal immigrants who can’t give anything useful for humankind and only spoil resources. Main character in the movie is some government official, Wikus Van De Merwe who is played by talented Shalrto Copley. He is trying to force invaders from their temporal place of staying to some new area specially built for aliens to keep them under supervision. However quite soon he realizes that somehow he managed to get similar decease as all outsiders has and he is chased by government agent himself now and his poor life is definitely in danger.
Hopefully District 9 that was accepted very good both by critics and viewers would be the new target for all directors who are going to work in the genre of sci-fi. You would be surprised but while this movie deals with really serious illnesses of society and all the ethic problems of the modern times it still entertains a lot. So you should think that is very heavy screenplay and you need some kind of special mood to watch it – you would following the plot with interest and definitely would return to this DVD for many times later. After creation of District 9 Neil Blomkamp, the director is considered to be new talent in cinematography. We should all hope that he wouldn’t be idling for a long time and would create something even more serious and breathtaking as his last film that now considered to be one of the best in sci-fi genre and its nomination for Oscar speaks for itself.
