Twenty years ago, aliens from another planet made contact with Earth. Now, the refugee camp they are forced to live in has deteriorated into a slum-like ghetto. When field operative Wikus van der Merwe is put in charge of evicting the aliens, he contracts a strange virus that changes his DNA to match that of the refugees. As his body begins to mutate, he becomes a hunted man, and the aliens' only hope for freedom.

Awesome submitted by mysterio on August 1, 2011, 12:55pm Awesome

Good Movie submitted by jarroyo on June 19, 2013, 6:08pm This is a really good movie. So much better than I thought it would be. It is a creative premise (I don't want to give too much away in a review).

A++ submitted by Fudail Waseem on July 31, 2016, 7:42am nice and entertaining

A film that Frank Darabont could be proud of submitted by Morty on January 30, 2020, 4:01am Finally, a movie about aliens in which the aliens act and talk like humans. There's "The Man Who Fell to Earth" abuse of them, there's "Casablanca"-style profiteering in the alien camp, and in the middle of the film, former enemies become buddies. Production design is beautiful on both the practical and CGI levels. It's a satisfying film -- very satisfying.
