Itinerary:

Sci-Fi with a difference...

Plot: More than 20 years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe, contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

Not the friendly aliens from 'Close Encounters' nor the invaders from 'Independence Day'. District 9 is a harrowing view of the worst coming out in mankind when we finally make first contact...Internet Movie Database review

Purchase your ticket and then meet the rest of the group near the box-office at 6:15. While the theatre lists a 6:50 showing this week, this could change with no notice to 6:30 so aim to be at the box office, with your ticket in hand so that we can head in to find seats at 6:20 a the very latest.
