I saw District 9 a week or two ago. It was pretty good, and totally wasn't what I expected. The special effects were stunning because they were generally so low-key that when something really happened you were totally blown away by it. But at the same time virtually every scene had a special effect of some kind in it because all the aliens were cg. It takes some doing to make cg unnoticeable, and I don't mean that in a bad way.
Can't wait for the sequel.
