About this movie

From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original science fiction thriller that "soars on the imagination of its creators" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed... only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet. 2009 District 9 Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

FYI Peter Jackson is one of the producers, this comedy is directed by an unknown whom should stay that way. The screenplay doesn't know where to go and a possible epic story is delivered like a Dr Who episode. You'll go wtf, laugh and shake your head in the first few minutes and it doesn't get better. Spend your $3.99 on something else.
