District 9

In this film, people put the aliens in districts is because we don't want them to leave earth but we don't want them with people. We don't want them to leave because they might come back and invade earth. Sharlto Copley plays a government agent that goes to district 9 to check on the aliens. He goes into one of their houses and finds a vial of a weird liquid. He is looking at it trying to figure out what it is and it sprays in his face. He is slowly transformed into an alien starting with his hand. The aliens have a wide variety of weapons that only they can access. The government agent Wikus Van De Merwe is used as a test to see if his hand works and it does so he can use the alien's weapons. They give him various tests but he doesn't like it so he leaves to try to find the alien whose house he found the vial in. It turns out the liquid was fuel for a ship so he can get off earth. He makes a deal with the alien that if he turned him back he would send him home. He fights with the alien and fights the government. He gets what they need so that the alien can go back home.

I thought the movie was good. The acting was good, I really felt like he was turning into an alien. The district that the aliens were in is really what you think it would be nasty bad conditions and people running around with guns. The plot was good but I thought there could have been more information on why the aliens were on earth. It was a pretty good movie altogether with some exceptions. Some of the acting was not good the people in the district that sold the guns did not act well. I didn't believe that's the way they would act.
