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.

District 9 Audience Reviews

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

TheBigSick In War For The Planet Of Apes, Blade Runner, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we have already seen stupid settings that humans are evil, ignorant and greedy, while the non-humans are sympathetic, determined and smart. Here in this Sci-Fi thriller, we see this setting again. The plot simply lacks any sense of credibility. The visual effects are cheap and lousy. The cameras are shaky and intolerable.

Tony When you find yourself thinking about a film many times after viewing - particularly the final image. Very well done .

rajthilak04 i was surprised after watching this movie. It drives through all my expectation. i loved those screenplay and story line.Hands off to the Neill Blomkamp who has created one of the best science fiction movie.Sharlto Copley did good job and unique film he made.Expecting sequence of this film all the way with same crew

Etanah Nero District 9 is a masterpiece in cinemas and I feel is underrated. First off, it has a realistic vibe to it. I love how this film was directed in a documentary style. The CGI is phenomenal and is years ahead of its time. The aliens look amazing. I'm glad Peter Jackson produced this film because he proved that he is the master of CG with King Kong and the LotR Trilogy. Overall this movie is awesome and I'm hoping for a new one soon enough.
