Alive In Joberg is the short film by Neill Blomkamp that is the inspiration for his feature film District 9. I am particularly interested in seeing District 9 after seeing the trailers and even more so now that I've seen his short. Unlike a lot of other sci-fi films out there this movie seems to be taking a unique approach to the whole 'first contact' idea. You can defintely project contemparory issues of apartheid, Holocaust, and the mismangement of dealing with aboroginal cultures by Western colonists on the film. Yet, it doesn't see to be too preachy about all that while mainting the 'geekness' of scific gadgetry and tech. From what I've seen so far it seems to be an intelligent sci-fi movie that I'm defintely going to check out this weekend.
