District 9 [Neill Blomkamp/Peter Jackson]

[Carn]

directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson

Bovenstaande duo gaat zich ook wagen aan een HALO film, maar District 9 wordt het eerste product. Blomkamp profileerde zich al met eigen korte producties zoals 'Alive in Joberg', een korte 'cloverfield-achtige' short over Aliens in Johannesberg; en District 9 is daar een soort verlengde van.

Imagine that style of filmmaking, pseudo-documentary style, and the way he’s able to ground his effects in a real world setting, but on a higher budget and with some more experience as a filmmaker under his belt and you’ll get an idea of what DISTRICT 9 will be.

Basically the footage was presented like I imagine the trailer will be. We see South Africans talking to the camera, being interviewed, giving opinions on a segment of their population. Titles flash “They are not welcome,” more talking about how they’re dangerous and filthy and don’t belong here. “They are not accepted,” more unhappy people. Then. “They are not… human.”

We’re shown a shot of an alien ship hanging low in the sky. This caused gasps from the older theater owners behind me. The design wasn’t CLOSE ENCOUNTERS spectacular, but more Ridley Scott working, used ship, but the impact comes from Blomkamp’s ability to integrate effects. It’s bright daylight when we see this ship and it looks just as if you’d look out over the horizon one day and saw this thing in the sky.

It’s established that the aliens have been living among us, known to everybody, immigrants to this world and treated like such. Out of fear they’re essentially given one area to call their own, District 9. I got my first glimpse at the aliens themselves as a government agent serves an eviction notice to one of the aliens.

Belooft een interessante science-fiction film te zijn met een ziel. Iets dat jammer genoeg niet meer vaak voorkomt.

zo, gisterenavond dus gekeken, gave film geworden hoor . Ik had `m eigenlijk nog iets scherper/intelligenter verwacht qua plot maar ik was wel onder de indruk van de kwaliteit van de sfx (de film had 'maar' een budget van 30 miljoen dollar) en de acteerprestatie van Sharlto Copley (Wikus van der Merwe), die hiervoor nog nooit echt geacteerd had. Ook de gehele setting van Johannesburg is erg gaaf en een welkome afwisseling.
