Really desire a movie about an alien race that develops interstellar travel coming to earth and doing what would happen in real life. Wreck our world. I guess that turd of a move Skyline implied we got rolled. But of course had to finish with the human about to turn the tide. War of the Worlds was going down this track until the aliens caught a cold. Battle LA the aliens were kicking our ass until we found the drone facility.

You should try Battlefield Earth.

Starship Troopers didnt do it for you?

I thought the scene in the girls locker room was pretty cool. This was pre internet.

I suggest Apollo 18. An under rated movie.

Apollo 13 isn't. Apollo 18 is.

Apollo 13 isn't. Apollo 18 is.

Doh! Guess I should pay more attention when replying.

The original AND the syfy channel remake

What about sharks? Sharknado 5 yo!

 

[Fritzo]

If there's a breakthrough on aliens, it isn't going to be on a TV documentary. Same with ghosts.

I liked Battlefield earth. The key here is I watched it before I was exposed to the vitriol for this movie.

Err just no. Book was pulp, I laughed when they said they were making a movie.

Yea I heard Neill Blomkamp had planned a sequel but came out with Chappie instead, which was ok.

Was canceled. Blomkamp Is working on an new Alien movie according to IMDB coming out next year, there is some conceptual art at IMBD. Suppose to be a sequel to #3.

No, that project was shitcanned. Ridley took over and snuffed it in favor of Prometheus and that abomination Alien:Covenant.

Ahh ok well then IMDB should update their page. To bad they don't have forums anymore....

What about Lifeforce? If all alien vampires were that hot and that naked, I think the human race would willingly give itself over.

not as well known, but there was also some stuff in The Faculty

Damn that is a blast from the past.gonna watch it again.

Signs was terrible.

I vaguely remember that movie was more of a suspense thriller... I mean, the aliens typically start off as being "unknown" creatures. You don't know their intentions or what they look like.... It's up to the director to reveal those things. The director chose to use news footage on a sd tv that was actually shaky camcorder footage with motion-blur.... I mean, I suppose now it'd be the same as cellphone footage...but the actual movie was so much better prior to that scene. I just remember watching that movie for the first time and losing interest when I saw that scene.

Independence day did the same kind of thing...they didn't show the aliens close-up too much. They used smoke and tentacles...possibly strobe lights and camera timings to make the aliens scarier. It's like the Jaws movies... When they show the shark too much, you can tell its fake and start caring less. It's rare that anyone writes a movie script for an alien with dialogue...

Why did I just think of "Earth Girls are Easy"? Jim Carey took the alien language in that movie seriously according to the other actors.
