Alien earth is not bad. Got that old-school Alien vibe. Still early to say though. Just 3 episodes released.

I think it's pretty awesome so far. Just wish we could have gotten a proper fight scene in the 3rd episode.

I love the alien universe. Even the terrible movies like Romulus. Alien earth is the best alien content since Aliens, though, I may like earth more so far. Alien I don’t think can ever be topped

Arrival, imo.

Yess, this is a good one

It’s pretty great, but it’s not an “Invasion” movie.

Spoilers:

As the reader/viewer you have no idea what’s going on in this movie.

That being said, I would probably delete your comment as it’s kind of a spoiler.

The entire premise of the movie is WHY ARE THEY HERE? Invasion is suggested many times by the media.

Okay I put in spoiler tags.

Resident Alien - 😁 Alan Tudyk is awesome

Taken - A 2002 limited series and if I remember correctly directed by Spielberg. Made Dakota Fanning a star

Midnight Special - Not exactly alien invasion but a good movie... Go in Cold

“Invasion” on Apple TV. Pretty good show about aliens. Lots of different angles and characters and mysteries to unravel

Movie: Dark Skies. Still spooks me when I watch it, and I’ve watched it at least 10 times.

u/di_ib 3d ago

Mars attacks The Arrival If you grew up in the 90s than Independence day is pretty nostalgic but if you watched it when you were 9 prepare to be disappointed.

1

u/wynntay 2d ago

Mars Attacks all the way. A most entertaining move.

u/SpudNugget 2d ago

I love watching Independence Day and Mars Attacks back to back, and realizing they are the same movie.

Oats Studios - Rakka/ Zygote. Short films about 15-20 mins. Insanely well made imo. Give it a try trust me

1

u/Santevistan 1d ago

I’ve seen a lot of alien movies, a few really stood out...like Arrival. If you’re looking for some intriguing ones, check out District 9 and Annihilation.
