District 9

When aliens seeking refuge are confined to a settlement in Johannesburg, a company prepares to move them elsewhere while pursuing their advanced technology. A field agent becomes infected with a mysterious substance that starts changing his body, forcing him to seek shelter in the very community he was assigned to manage.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like unusual alien stories that mix social questions with gritty action; not for you if you prefer gentle sci-fi or want to avoid graphic violence and unsettling imagery.
