Part mockumentary, part Science Fiction drama, "District 9" is a visceral movie, as well as a fable about apartheid. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa where an alien race has been stranded for nearly three decades. After a health inspector (Sharlto Copley in his first ever acting gig) working for private contractors is infected by an unknown mutagen, the aliens, nicknamed "Prawns" must fight to escape our planet Earth. Marked with intelligence, "District 9" is part of a new wave of emerging Science Fiction that is both sensational and poignant.
