"Des extraterrestres sont parqués pendant que les humains se demandent comment les exploiter... 1er film offrant un détonnant mélange des genres, transposition pertinente du réel dans l'imaginaire..."
"A provocative science fiction drama, District 9 boasts an original story that gets a little lost in blow-'em-up mayhem. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa, District 9 begins as a mock documentary about the imminent eviction of extraterrestrials from a pathetic shantytown (called District 9). The creatures, it turns out, have been on Earth for years, having arrived sickly and starving. Initially received by humans with compassion and care, the aliens are now mired in blighted conditions typical of long-term refugee camps unwanted by a hostile, host society."

""Il y a trente ans, des extraterrestres entrèrent en contact avec la Terre... Les humains avaient tout imaginé, sauf ce qui se produisit. Les extraterrestres n'étaient venus ni nous attaquer, ni nous offrir un savoir supérieur. Ces visiteurs d'au-delà des étoiles étaient des réfugiés, les derniers survivants de leur monde. Ils furent temporairement installés dans le District 9, en Afrique du Sud, pendant que les nations du monde se querellaient pour savoir quoi en faire. Depuis, la gestion de la situation a été transférée à la MNU (Multi-National United), une société privée qui n'a pas grand-chose à faire du sort de ces créatures, mais qui fera d'énormes bénéfices si elle arrive à faire fonctionner leur extraordinaire armement. Jusqu'à présent, toutes les tentatives ont échoué : pour que les armes marchent, il faut de l'ADN extraterrestre...""
"Negli anni '80 sono arrivati gli alieni. Stavolta però non sono atterrati a Manhattan o in qualche sperduto paesino campagnolo degli Stati Uniti ma si sono fermati con un'astronave gigante sopra Johannesburg senza muoversi più. C'è stato bisogno che un convoglio terrestre andasse a vedere cosa conteneva quella nave apparentemente immobile per scoprire milioni di alieni denutriti, sporchi e in condizioni pessime. Da quel momento per 20 anni i visitatori sono stati stipati in una baraccopoli di Johannesburg creata per l'occasione: il distretto 9. Un luogo dove le creature da un altro pianeta sono trattate come animali, dove regnano caos e anarchia e dal quale ogni tanto scappano facendo incursioni in città che non portano altro che risentimento e xenofobia nella popolazione locale. Ora è arrivato il momento di spostarli da qualche altra parte, ma loro è a casa che vogliono tornare. (Mymovies)."
"Allegorical sci-fi thriller about a despised alien race living in squalor in Johannesburg after crashing there. Having become the city's true underclass and forcibly segregated from the indigenous population, the insect-like aliens are then subjected to a massive relocation program to force them further away. But when one government official is exposed to an alien-engineered substance, he is left as public enemy number one, and gains a whole new perspective on the extraterrestrials."@en
"Back in the 1980s, a giant spacecraft stalled in the skies over Johannesburg. 1.8 million of the aliens that were aboard were rescued, and placed in a refugee camp--District 9. Over the next 20 years, District 9 became a teeming shantytown like so many others in the developing world. Although there is evidence that the extraterrestrials represent an advanced civilization, their lives on Earth are marked by squalor, dysfunction, and xenophobic hostility. Now, the mass eviction of the aliens is due to commence, overseen by the military/corporate entity MultiNational United. Middle manager Wikus Van De Merwe finds himself in charge, and cannot believe the good luck of his sudden promotion, until events spin out of control, and he realizes he is little more than a pawn in a horrific multinational/intergalactic experiment."@en
