District 9 (2009)
Movie
Released
Neill Blomkamp combines bureaucratic presentation, Johannesburg textures and bodily panic into a forceful feature debut. Sharlto Copley's shifting confidence keeps the premise from being only an effects demonstration. Elysium and Chappie continue the interest in unequal systems, with this first film's messy mix of satire and action remaining especially concentrated.

About District 9
Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.
