There have been many alien invasion movies and series of late. They usually end with a happy hollywood ending with america on top. I am so sick of this ending. Why can't a writer ever write seriously about this subject?
We do know from history that an advanced civilization meeting a primitive one will not end well. Just ask the native people of the americas. Furthermore, why do the aliens appear humanoid? Yes there are limitations to budgets and effects. But when a real first contact happens I don't expect another humanoid who understands human rights and human centric thinking. These aliens could be methane breathers, have ten eyes, have tentacles, lay eggs, etc…. Why would an alien be just like us? Is it too taboo to write about doomsday scenerios where humanity loses? We've written about end of the dinosaurs. Is it too hard to imagine humanity not surviving alien invasions? |

That's kind of why I like the movie District 9. It was a different take on an alien encounter. It didn't really have much of a happy ending. I hope they end up doing a sequel because I'm thinking it would be pretty badass. The aliens themselves were kind of different and more insect-like. They nurtured eggs to raise their young. I'm not sure, but they may have been asexual with no male/female distinction.

Have you watched "Skyline"? Not a great movie by any means ... but humanity loses and there are no humanoid aliens.

Alien invasions are the stuff of science fiction. If aliens existed, which is highly unlikely, and they had the technology to get here, then I think their society would of had to of first evolved past the whole invade and conquer mentality.
Alien explorers are far more likely than invaders and aliens in general are very unlikely to begin with. |

Where the hell is bandonov with all his Ancient Alien pics?
I think it's not only likely, but absolutely true! I believe a whole bunch of things regarding that, but I won't spout 'em all off in here, lol. Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 08-16-2012 at 04:35 PM.. |

District 9 was an awesome movie and I just saw it for the first time a month ago. Think about it, Hollywood can't do anything original any more, so I doubt it will ever do a Movie about Alien Invasion where humanity DOES NOT survive at the end. I liked ID4, but come on, we took them out with a computer virus?

I don't think large audiences would want to pay to see superior aliens come to Earth and take us over.
I also think that realisticly, aliens would look more like us then not, especially if they were flying spaceships. |

Invasions are bad as a rule, alien or otherwise.
