I saw District 9 last night. I had heard many positive things about the film and the trailers/promos for the film had me completely interested. It is not only a great science fiction movie, it is more of a social statement. I am very much reminded of the way we as humans mistreat those who we deem beneath us. There are a great many times in our history where we have treated others abominably. So it goes without saying that this is not the same recycled plot. The aliens aren’t here to kill us or take our water. They want to exist, and have the  rights that all beings deserve. I cannot recommend this one enough.
