A sequel to the 2010 remake of ‘Clash of the Titans’, the aptly named Wrath of the Titans this time actually features some Titans.

In 1982, a gigantic UFO took stationary residents over the city of Johannesburg. The craft was inhabited by an alien species labelled the derogatory term ‘prawns’. Twenty-eight years have passed and the prawns now live in a vast refugee camp called District 9 on the outskirts of the city. As local residents now tire of their intergalactic neighbours, tensions begin to flare and it is demand that the ‘Prawns’ are moved on to a new location.
