This computer-animated film portrays a typical children's humans-are-the-aliens story. What surprised me, though, was the high level of violence in this PG film. No, no one dies, except a seemingly sentient bug which is squished under a rock, and two solders who are shown dead and lobotomized (but turn out to survive without their brains later).
I guess "modern" kids have seen worse in their online games and afternoon TV, but really it just seemed excessive. I'd rate this PG-13.
Planet 51
2009, 91 minutes, directed by Jorge Blanco, Javier Abad, and Marcos Martinez
