Well, it looks interesting. I like the whole 'oppressive mega-corporation-thing', plus the whole aliens and humans living in proximity theme.

What a bunch of buggers those people in the previews are, I'd be all over having an alien for a neighbor, though my opinion would be different if it was trying to kill and/or eat me.
Everything is better with lizardmen.

Looks like the old TV series Alien Nation but with better writing and budget...

There's an area in Capetown called 'District 6' which was largely made up of 'Illegal Aliens' in the 60's, I suspect the film is based around those events with obvious substitutions to make it more politically acceptable.

It's not even on our theatre's 'upcoming' list yet.

Well I've just got back from seeing - really really awesome film. It's truly a film worth watching and leaves films like 'Alien Nation' and Hollywood big budget sci-fi films in the dust. Why are you still sitting here? Go out and see it!

I concour.  Head out and see it in the theatre; it's worth it!

It's one of the best films I've ever seen!
