Of course, that technology may possibly be achieved by us in the future. Besides the technology, District 9 was very thought provoking. The way it used TV-like footage, news reporters, and commentary made one wonder if this has already happened. District 9 seems to address questions that have circulated for a long time, such as; have aliens really landed; what would they be like; what future alien landings will occur; and what is their purpose for the future? In District 9, Wikus van der Merwe, the agent who works for Multi-National United (sound like New World Order?) is helped by the two aliens after he had been exposed to a DNA-altering spray. Wilkus slowly transforms into an alien. He wants to get cured and turned back into a human. The two aliens promise to help him transform back into a human. They end up taking off, but they promise to return with a fleet of their fellow aliens. Interestingly enough, they plan on ending the human tyranny over their fellow aliens in district 9. It sounds like judgement. The Prawns–the aliens in District 9–have incredible technology. Of course, that technology may possibly be achieved by us in the future.
