Ninja'd by the op. Grrrr...
But yeah, that movie was constant, non-stop fail. Even without Tom Cruise it'd suck.

Not really an alien invasion movie though, seeing as the Na'vi lack any interstellar transportation.Sean Hollyman said:
OT: Virus
A really stupid movie with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland, where an electronic alien virus infects somekind of research ship and turns all the crewmembers into cyborgs or whatever.

I'd be interested to know why you feel that way. Because I thought that for the most part, it was really good. I especially liked how it wasn't a "Tom Cruise saves the world" -type alien invasion move.thaluikhain said:
But in that one, humans were the alien invaders, so of course they were going to lose. Alien invasions always fail in movies.Sean Hollyman said:
OT: I haven't really seen bad alien invasion movies. I've seen some that were not good, like Independence Day, but it wasn't horrible. I guess I'll just have to nominate that then. Independence Day. It does get some negative bonus points for being so popular, I suppose.
There are some of those older movies from the 50's or 60's that could be considered bad, but the ones I've seen, I liked a lot. If only for their camp value. And some were genuinely good too.
Danm all of the good ones had been taken.
Ok while I don't know the Macross/ Robotech franchise series properly but I remember one of the movies, the aliens were simply getting their arses kicked when they simply put up a giant hologram of some jpop idol who started to sing.
Ok sure they had their own alien idol who had an opera like voice that brought moral to them (buff them up) but the fact they lost the first war due to Jpop music is a silly one. Haven't the alien invented earplug or other ways to silence the song?

He also had the most ludicrous maritime accent which comes and goes.nikki191 said:haha i loved virus.. robo-sutherlandCasual Shinji said:
Battle: L.A., I watched that on a plane and I only remember seeing about half of it, the rest was me playing my PSP instead and being much more entertained. Everything about it cheesed me off no-end, if I heard someone shouting "Hoo-Rah!" one more time I wouldn't be held responsible.
Oppositely, I watched Attack The Block on another plane journey, a much better and actually decent alien-invader movie, all be it on a smaller scale. Characters seemed more interesting, the aliens different and creative, just watch that instead.

Ok, pay that, wasn't him saving the world.Llil said:
But you get a classic story, and change everything about it...not a good start. A civilisation on Mars might have been believable when the thing was written, nowdays, not so much.
It didn't help that everyone in that movie was too mind-numbingly stupid to live.
The aliens are invincible, and you know this? Keep attacking them anyway.
And then the son decides sit and watch the military get slaughtered because he "has to do this".
Cruise can't get himself pulled into the alien machine until he shows it that he's not one of the defenceless humans they are pulling into their machines, he's one of the armed ones they are vapourising.
And the idea that the aliens had landed on earth many thousands of years ago, buried themselves in places they knew would be major cities later on for no reason, only to emerge now for no reason, and could do all that without exposing themselves to diseases which they decided to do now for no reason...nah. Rubbish.
