District 9 (2009) (4/10)

It seemed to start like a joke. So I laughed along. But then they seem to take themselves seriously and tried to make a story out of it. Scavenger aliens eating catfood waiting for a messiah who is hiding and looking for a tube that contains DNA that can transform alien DNA into whatever? DNA? It would have been a very good joke movie. But there were a few elements that were too realistic. The botch up. The experiments. The weapons and economy angle. There was just no imagination. It was gory for a joke. Sigh!
