What is more likely to grab viewers is the dynamic storytelling (partly in mockumentary form), the gruesome yet sympathetic aliens, the robot suit that briefly turns Wikus into Iron Man, and the surfeit of body parts exploding. Like David Cronenberg - especially in his masterpiece, The Fly - Blomkamp is fascinated by the ways our bodies morph, decay and betray us.
