District 9

South Africa

This was a hoot. Aliens come to SA and instead of being frightening or all-powerful end up being a despised minority, living in a slum and disparagingly called Prawns because that's what they look like.

This was done for laughs and worked beautifully for me in my jr high school mode. Lots of gore, lickety split action, conventional, satisfying resolution. A good time was had by all.

Produced by Peter Jackson and it shared his sensibility. Great fun.
