District 9


I had been told to watch this one........ so I did.


A different concept - we (the Earth) were visited but aliens and were welcomed - well treated a little bit like refugees, (not initially).  


So the Earth decided that there were too many and insisted that they move - like unwanted refugees BUT this would be against a law - if they were humans.... and the new country would have to supply them with homes, cars, telephones and coupons.


Then the Earth ran into a problem - too many aliens and the alien's behaviour was not what was embraced many wanted to leave the earth........


Interesting concept and I wonder where the 'idea / concept' came from - but did turn into a 'Starship Troopers' copy - which was great fun but not intelligent - this was well executed.


UPDATE - just received a DVD copy with commentary and log - it is always a pleasure to read / listen about films which give me a 'pause for thought'.
