"District 9 grabbed me right away with its faux-documentary style and how real everything feels, helped by some incredible practical and visual effects. It’s exciting, smart sci-fi that quietly brings awareness to morality and xenophobia without ever feeling heavy or preachy. One of those films that really hits when you see it on the big screen." - Evan

Join Us For Our Monthly Staff Pick! In April, our awesome concessions staff member Evan picks DISTRICT 9!

Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.
