" I'm tiger I'm Wesley Morris today and take too weird disgusting district 9 district and I -- the new what is it side by action epic that. Is is spiraling marketed but nobody seems to know what is actually is the sounds they make it look way it's. Aliens and transformers. Can't Christiane. Com but it's not that it actually -- that it's actually -- futures -- action epic from local places South Africa. It is based on a short film by director named them. Guilt long camp. And it is the concept is really the start this -- it knows there's no name stars. It's set in the near future when an alien spaceship has parked itself over Johannesburg. -- And it sort of hangs there like an abandoned car and releases these aliens is look like cross street cockroaches and shrimp in humans and it. Call on which earthlings Sessler -- and they get. Hustled into the shantytown and in Johannesburg all district nine. And of course that metaphor the parallel is pretty obvious twenty years go by and it just. Two million of them and they governments trying to relocate them to concentration camp in the desert. And the the corporate functionary in charge of that effort is kind of -- lead. -- critical getting pentagon getting weaker pace. This earth was -- ahead of the network corporation. He's out there on the ground trying to deal with a front gets faced bullets something and he goes through some heavy changes McConnell I wanna tell you about that. But yeah. The movie turns into this bull or. -- action film shot is serious shaky -- yet rob that taking Dramamine. Oh and the -- reminded me of -- than anything else sensibility that was. The room where the -- yeah that's that's that outsider blockbuster epics. -- Actors you didn't know what the time Gibson was. -- I mean I I am I appreciate I think it. It's very smart you need. Eight news. Outwardly doesn't -- all this all the allegorical the heels don't quite. It turns out he's done tail into larger commentary and there isn't it makes it -- apple -- it it act. As it turns out it's not -- artists and wants to blow stuff up an interesting and new tools and it takes this is summer technology that it passed it here and now -- Used in this. Seemingly running iron. So that you feel like you're not watching since the super excluded because it doesn't look expensive. -- and that's sort of charming you know win but he basically turns into. -- Its last twenty minutes that's not a terrible thing -- and not as preferable to us and and actually we get yes it Carriker dazed and it feels pressure -- Yes I mean civics is smarter than it needs to be in yet kind of not smart net -- right. It it's all part tonight. And that doesn't do it definitely no way. Exactly and intense dude but it does set up. Some interest for district can I do think it's going to be okay kind of a sleeper hit a big fan boys are gonna really love it and it. And ask the standby is having its -- it's. Built for full speed you know just dispersal on the Internet. Com yes I think I just kind of -- hurts me. And what -- insurance and I'm Tucker I was more existing to. Resist resist."
