After the box-office hit trilogy, the Lord of the Rings - Peter Jackson teams up with director Neill Blomkamp to produce this remarkably believable story of an extraterrestrial race who are forced to live in slum-like conditions in Johannesburg, South Africa. The aliens suddenly find a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.

Beautifully made CGI, together with a dark storyline and a moving soundtrack, make this a movie that lives up to the hype that surrounds it.
