My friend used to nag me about watching District 9. When I finally watched it kind of pissed me off that the central premise made no sense to me. I don't think I ever got a decent explaination for why the spaceship key would turn the guy into an alien. I don't remember much from the movie so I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a proper explaination in the movie. If there is one, it's one that sure as hell didn't make sense to me at the time.

A lot is left to the imagination, which I generally like about movies like these. If I were to extrapolate, maybe the true "masters" of the alien ship (which we never really ever meet?) go around to different planets mutating slaves in their image to work inside. Or maybe the lobster form is like, "default slave form"?

In any case, something clearly went wrong and the "masters" died or abandoned ship or something.

I remember little of that movie, but I think it was also a medicine, which decided to cure human to what it thought was a normal state of a "lobster alien".

IIRC the black goo was fuel.

This was one of my favorites for a long time. I still love it but find repeat viewings not as enjoyable anymore. The previews for the first film were very vague, which led to a mindblowing experience the first time I saw the movie.

Definitely looking forward to the sequel and hoping it will pull Blomkamp out of the "slump" he's been in with his films.

Still happening. Probably.
