I've watched the movie some time ago, but I think it's not really cyberpunk as it is mostly about contemporary society. If it would be cyberpunk it would have been about how modern technology is affecting us
I agree there are some minor changes they could make that would tip it into the "cyberpunk" category for me. For example, if the aliens were all members of a single corporation (as opposed to integrating with society) then it'd have a stronger "corporations with too much control" theme and might be considered cyberpunk. Or, if you take out aliens entirely and this is other humans doing the exact same thing, I'd consider it cyberpunk.
