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.

This is going to be tough to write because I wanted to like this movie. I should be thrilled because so many people loved "District 9". And it’s science fiction, a genre that I love that is largely viewed as silly and irrelevant. So I'll just come out and say it. I've watched this three times More
