The Wolfman

5 of 10

Plot: 28 years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s “District 9″ as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them.

Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens’ welfare – they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens’ awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.

The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wilus Wikusder (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wilkus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the  most valuable – he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

My Review; I never thought i would say this but i just spent two hours watching what felt like a documentary film on a concentration camp. The basic plot for the film is an alien race lands on earth 28 year sago and the nations of the world are keeping them here.  While the entire cast of the film consists no name actors and cgi creatures they do well to draw you into the movie.

Visually this movie is ok. At times it has great cgi effects but in the wide angle shots they paid no attention to detail (Even the Scooby Doo live actions movies could do that) leaving this film to fall extremely short in the Visual Fx department. While the story has potential to be great it falls short and never tries to pick it’s self back up.

This film is nothing more than any other aliens come to earth film. An EXTREMLY played out story line that always ends the same as humans attack what we don’t understand and see no wrong in it. After all you go through you get what turns into a bad cliffhanger of sorts that leaves me to say i’d buy it on dvd if they make it worth my wild.

On Saturday former teen queen Lindsay Lohan annouced via Twitter that she has signed on to star in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete! The film will follow in Rogriguez’s grindhouse feel and is also rumored to star a powerhouse cast which includes Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Jonah Hill, and even the legendary action hero Steven Seagal. The film will be co directed by Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis.

Machete will center around a Mexican, ex Federal who acts as a worker during the day and becomes betrayed by a U.S. senator and by the way he has a talent for wielding machetes!If you ask me this one sounds like its going to be a fun and fast paced action film and if you love outrageous films your going to love this one!  MuveePro will continue to follow this story and production details develop!
