About this movie

From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original sciencefiction 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.

Ratings and reviews

I really liked this film. Shalto Copley (spelling) was great. The prawns will get you man. This was some great sci-fi work and a fascinating look at some bizarre stuff. Enjoyable and interesting but there are some gory bits and some weird laughable moments. Definitely worth a watch.
