I would like to update the comments on District 9. It was not shot in Cape Town but Johannesburg. You do not see Cape Town’s table mountain at all. The entire movie was shot in Johannesburg. Im a local in Jozi. Please research your statements

Nice review and glad to see people like you holding our country in such high esteem, but I’d like to point out a few errors if I may:
Firstly, District 9 took place in Johannesburg, not Cape Town which is where Table mountain is situated. What you may be perceiving as the mountain in the movie are in fact the mine dumps that one would find the city of Johannesburg.
Secondly in the case of Blood Diamond, Cape Town was the home of the commander of the mercenary group, and the movie itself does not take place in South Africa but rather in Sierra Leone.
