But it is in the true science fiction tradition of star trek and gene roddenberry to talk of such subjects under the guise of science fiction. Imagine that another sci fi movie talks about something relevent in the same year that star trek was reborn as a dumb action movie for fratboys, and american football watchers.

District 9, judging from what I've heard, is a movie made for sake of sending a message. Art is not about sending messages. That's an abuse of art. It doesn't matter if the message is a worthy one like in District 9, it's still not what art is about. I'm not very impressed with what we get for sf this year -movie for a message (District 9), movie for a shitty little gimmick (Avatar) and movie for dumbing down an old story and shitting on tradition (Star Trek).
