Coming from a weird kind of attitude and being weird in self, I find that I got myself kinda intrigue to this new movie from Sony Pictures and produced by Neil Blomkamp. Yes, the movie I am talking about is DISCTRICT 9 and after watching it on Premier screening time last night at the Cathay Cineplex Damansara at Cineleisure (thanks to Nuffnang and Sony Pictures), I must say I do find it impressive that I felt that I have to write a review and my thoughts on it.
Yup, I will only write my own reviews if I watched it on premier (a bit bias because if I watched it on normal screen time, why write the review? Everyone can just go watch it).Basically the name Disctrict 9 feels the same like what we’ve all grown to hear about Sector 7 or Sector 21 in the States, where there are so called alien studies going on. Funny though, this time the show didn’t really happen in the United States where all the monsters, super heroes gather, but in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. What a place to be, but all good for the plot.
For once, at least aliens don’t look like those big eyed 2 fingers thin stick kind of aliens. This time though, they look like prawns. Believe me, they call them prawns, there aren’t better name that I can conjure of though, since they really do look like prawns. I call them cute instead. The aliens here are more normal (humanoid) and seems to understand humans and not those aliens where the mission is to kill and destroy (Aliens series, Predator series).
