Neil Blomkamp’s 2009 District 9 reimagines what first contact with an alien species might look like, and trust us, it isn’t pretty. The film portrays the significant economical issues that arise when over a million alien bodies show up in Johannesburg South Africa in what is at first a mockumentary style, and then it quickly shifts gear to all out sci fi action. Incredibly reflective and frighteningly real, District 9 is for my money, an absolute sci fi classic.
