District 9 is a 2009 science fiction thriller film directed by Neill Blomkamp. It was written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, and produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. The film stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope and David James. Copley plays the role of Wikus van de Merwe, an Afrikaner bureaucrat assigned to relocate a race of extraterrestrial creatures unexpectedly stranded on Earth, referred to as "prawns", from District 9, a military-guarded slum in Johannesburg, South Africa, to an internment camp outside the city.
Unsurprisingly, the movie was nominated for four Academy Awards in 2010, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing.
I think the District 9 is one of the best Si-Fi movies ever produced in the 21st century. It is certainly not another "alien taking over earth" movie. As we know that, whether a movie will become unforgotten or not, denepdns on its story and plot. The great movies like E.T., Independence Day, Predator all have brilliant and unforgettable stories.
The story of the movie, along with its story line, plot, connections between scenes, acting, filming techniques are just outstanding. It is definitely one of the best Si-Fi movies ever made.
