Go See This Movie!

I cannot stress this enough. District 9 is a friggin sweet movie. It's like a combination Schindler's List and Enemy Mine. The movie is presented as a kind of documentary in the begginning but eventually loses that aspect but takes it back up in the end. The story of the movie revolves around aliens who crash-landed (sort of) over South Africa. The humans herd the aliens into slums and generally treat them anywhere from stupid people to vermin. The people interviewed in the beginning of the film keep mentioning that the main character, Wikus Van De Merwe, has done something that is considered treasonous to the human race. What did he do? Oh you'll find out. This film has a great story, seamless special effects, and relatable characters. You'll laugh, you'll cry (if you're a girl), and it will make you think. Mostly about how cool alien weaponry is.
