This movie is a based around a UFO landing over Johannesburg, South Africa. The aliens were stuck in their ship and lacking supplies. The aliens are put in the a camp and after 20 years the South African goverment hires MNU, a weapon manufactor, to relocated the prawns.

Wickus, the main character, is given the job of giving all the prawns or aliens an eviction notice. The MNU is in charge of searching the prawns houses for illegal weapons and drugs.Everything is going good for Wickus until he opens a conatiner of fluid Christopher Johnson, a prawn, has been collecitong for twenty years in order to provide fuel to go to the mother ship. Wickus gets the fluid all over his face and begins to change into a prawn slowly. The MNU wants him because he is the only human that can fire the alien weapons. THhis interest MNU because they are a weapon manufactor and there is billions of dollars potential if they can harvest his DNA. Wickus seeks help from the Chris to change him back to noraml, Chris needs the fuel to leave earth to get help. They break into MNU and take the fuel but all goes wrong when they are shot down. Will they return or be killed on earth while the prawns are doomed to confinement on earth.

I liked this movie because it raises your thoughts to, what if? At the same token while i watch this movie i fell dirty and gross because it takes place in the slums of Johannesburg. The prawns favorite food is cat food whic also makes me sick so i recommend if you have a weak stomache to avoid this movie.

The Town

The Town takes place in Boston where many banks have and are robbed every year. The  tought streets of Charlestown that are in Boston basicaly breeds bank robbers. The robbers work in a team of four, but the main character is Doug MacRay, played by Ben Affleck. The team of robbers hit a bank right away in the begging of the movie and take a hostage. Doug then has to watch her to make sure she doesnt tell on them to the FBI. He ends up falling in love with this hostage. At the same time the team is planning another robbery, but doug  wants out of the game but he is forced to do the job by them man that killed his mother. The crew does the job but everyone but doug gets killed in during this job. Doug escapes with some of the cash and goes straight to the man that killed his mother and kills him. The last thing Doug did was call the love of his life, the hostage, and leave her some money. The robbers all wanted out and Doug was the only one to get out, not quite the way he wanted, but he got out.

My opinion of this movie is that its an ok movie filled with a decent amount of action and mystery but it is long and drawn out. The movie needs to just get to the point instead of dragging it out. If you as a movie watcher are into mystery, action, and movies based on true stories this movie is for you.
