For what it's worth I got exactly the same worker class interpretation
that you did from the movie, but it retrospect it did seem to be more
implied than made explicit. I actually sort of like this aspect to the
movie though since I think a too many explanations would have detracted
from the realism (since there's not much of a way that the humans in the
movie could have known about the alien class/species structure anyway).
Overall, this was my favorite SciFi movie since Children of Men came out
a few years ago, although I did also enjoy Moon. I'll be curious to see
how well it ages since opinions seem pretty split on it currently.
