District 9

I went to see this film this week and I have to say, it may very well be film of the year. It is definitely a contender with Star Trek for top spot!

Although its low budget, never does this hinder it in any way. The fact that District 9 is set in S. Africa, creates an interesting dimension. The Aliens are treated with contempt and avoided; echoing the years of segregation during apartheid - and the continued underlying tensions today.

The South African accent gives a comical air to the film, whether sought or unsought. There is some really cool Alien technology to be wowed at to boot. Overall, very enjoyable and well worth watching!
