Director Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson for this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary South Africa. It's been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers. ~ Jason Buchanan, RoviMovie Title : District 9

Review For Movie District 9
You don't feel bamboozled, fooled, or patronized by District 9, as you did by most of the summer blockbusters. You feel winded, shaken, and shamed.Anthony Lane-New Yorker
Perhaps we're witnessing a new dawn for politically engaged sci-fi and horror, with Blomkamp as a latter-day George Romero. Either way, this is a stunningly impressive debut.
Tom Huddlestone-Time Out
To call this the best shrimp-from-outer-space South African apartheid allegory ever made does not begin to do it justice. But it's a start.
David Edelstein-New York Magazine
This is a great movie.
Ben Mankiewicz-At the Movies
What an achievement in filmmaking.
Ben Lyons-At the Movies
The backstory beats the hell out of the present-tense plot, a routine affair in which a well-meaning doofus working for the Man is infected with a virus, starts turning into an alien himself, and falls in with the oppressed creatures.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
If the basic idea is provocative, District 9 never lives up to the promise of its allegorical freight.
Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out Chicago
District 9's skid into rote convention is matched by a retreat from the documentary conceit that so expertly delivered us into this strange world in the first place.
Chris Stamm-Willamette Week
This stunning mindbender of a movie attempts to prove that science fiction can handle the heftiest allegorical payloads, even the appalling shame of apartheid.
Corey Hall-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Every once in a great while -- perhaps only a handful of times each decade -- that rare film comes completely out of left field to let us know that there are still some original ideas out there, and that cinema can still be fresh and exciting.
Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Ghee whiz, how abusive can you get with a movie camera?
David Keyes-Cinemaphile.org
This is an excellent idea searching for a film worthy of it. This ain't it.
Will Leitch-Deadspin
Smart, funny, touching, thought-provoking and utterly insane in the action department, District 9 is 2009's most entertaining movie by a light year.
Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk
Despite its shortcomings, District 9 is an engaging sci-fi romp that features solid CGI work.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis
A rocking, rolling action drama about alien castaways that just want to go home, an evil corporation that wants to capitalize on them at any cost, and one man who freakishly gets caught in the middle.
Neil Pond-American Profile
District 9 has the potential to satisfy two mutually exclusive groups of bottom-feeding moviegoers.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
District 9 isn't without its rough edges. It's a bit obvious and doesn't take as full advantage of its premise as it could. But it's also a visually spectacular and cares mostly about its characters, and that's a rare thing in film today.
Joshua Starnes-ComingSoon.net
Part alien invasion flick, part social commentary, Neill Blomkamp's chilling, thrilling District 9 is a wholly original work. And it features a star-making turn from Sharlto Copley.
David N. Butterworth-rec.arts.movies.reviews
Aliens clash with humans in combustible sci-fier.
Don Groves-sbs.com.au
Although the film is dripping in satire, Blomkamp is more concerned with delivering a balls-to-the-wall action film. District 9 has more in common with Aliens than Babel.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
The most audacious, auspicious sci-fi debut in years, Neill Blomkamp's modest-budget "District 9" throws together xenophobic satire, political allegory and raucous action in a knockabout package reminiscent of Paul Verhoeven's finest work.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
District 9 is the most original, innovative and entertaining science-fiction film in years and contains the best mix of politics and spectacle since Starship Troopers.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
Best when it operates as yarn rather than as social commentary, even if it is filled with logical inconsistencies.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
Screw Avatar - this is what people will think of when they talk about science fiction at the end of the aughts.
Rob Humanick-Projection Booth
While the ambitious narrative bites off far more than can be satisfactorily chewed and digested, the fantastic ride through what must be a completely fictional world (right?) is worth a view.
S. James Wegg-JWR
While Blomkamp's disturbing thriller does have a semi-revelatory ending, the real secret is that District 9, for all its pomp and circumstance, is no more than a decent but scrappy science fiction flick.
