Need your fix of the best in Sci-Fi?
This week’s main feature: District 9 (2009) “YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. 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.” [Letterboxd]
