"District No. 9" is an iconic science fiction film that has literally grown out of a small short film. This is a topical, poignant movie about alien refugees who were forced to land in the Johannesburg area of South Africa. For them, the ghetto "District No. 9" was organized, but since the aliens were not going to fly away, social tension among the indigenous population began to grow. This film makes a lot of references to the really existing "sixth district" of Cape Town, but even if you watch the film without these real political references, it captures the viewer's attention and keeps him in suspense.
"Pandorum" is a fantastic picture of a huge colonial ship that flies to a terrestrial planet. The flight should last for nearly a hundred years, so most of the crew and colonists are immersed in suspended animation, once every few years, the three crews give each other a shift. However, after the next awakening of people, it turns out that something went wrong. This film features beautiful battles, a fascinating psychological line and an unexpected denouement. Pandorum is a good example of hermetic horror films.
“Pandorum” failed at the box office, but won many fans.
