But a germ still would cause some sort of a reaction thus giving their immune system a chance to defend themselves from all the ones on their planet. It just seems likely that these advaced aliens would be smart enough to test any germ since they are usually the aggressor. There are germs in outter space too. They must have encountered those too. I dont know. I still loved the movie though. :D

Y'know what would be good? I just got this idea...a alien invasion movie in the alien's perspective! Yeah! Then we wouldn't need to ask ourselves why they do those things (I hate it when I don't know why they do those things, don't know if its the same with you) and the director wouldn't be capable of using the excuse of an unknown reason behind the alien's actions. What about it? If any of you is a producer/director/studio owner, convince someone there in making a movie like this. I don't remember a movie with this premise being done yet (if there is I know someone will post it here). And you can say it was your idea if you want.

Wouldn't that just be an invasion movie? :)

Your anti-Signs posts kind of remind me of the 'Pearl Harbour sucks' song from Team America...

i know this thread is mostly going about signe but i got another suggestion:
the ailens in artificial intelligence: dont get me wrong i really like the movie, a modern fairy tale, but why did there have to be ailens in the end to fullfil the boys dream.
the movie could have ended when he was in the water but nooooo, there had to come aliens.
well just my opinion..

sry if it doesnt really fit in the signe discussion but i really had to get that from my mind!

They weren't aliens, they were robots and the long, long, longgg descendents of David.

Nope, definitely robots. They light up inside and have visual playbacks projected inside their translucent skulls when reading memories. Droids, indeed.

It is not a lack of poor writing. It is the nature of things. It is the unpredictability factor that plays into every decision, regardless if you're a higher species or not.

I haven't seen the new WotW, but do they wander around outside without any sort of spacesuit on? It looks that way from the clips. That does seem a bit splapdash, if it's the case.

Fair play on the advanced-aliens-ain't-omnipotent thing tho.

Can't agree with that analogy. The invasion was only 'Act One' in a longer story - the lack of decent aftermath-planning was one big plothole overall :yup:

The beings at the end of AI were clearly robots, I thought it was pretty obvious.

Yay! Finnaly. Another suggestion. Too bad they were robots. But that's the spirit. I had a major breakdown in my computer and was out for...some time...missed me? And I got an incredible idea for a post, couldn't wait to put here. So here goes:

Fun Facts about aliens

-Aliens usually have an uncanny ability to learn english. Of course even we, from the same planet have some kind of accent or have dificulties to pronounce some words. But beings from other planets have vocal cords made for english instead of their language.

-Aliens are a bunch of show offs, When they aren't showing us their UFO's full of 3D effects and little lights that can become invisible or destroy the white house with a death ray, they pretend to come in peace and give back people they abducted to give a ride to other people trough the universe but all they want is someone playing the musical background of their little flying lights show (Close Encounters of the third Kind). They make drawings in crops to show their artistical abilities and kill people only to show how they can change form with extreme ability and they ever have bright white lights inside their UFO's that never go off to show how their batteries are better than ours. Like I said, show offs.

-Some aliens instead of kill all human beings and they take earth for themselves only come to earth to procriate with our females.

-Aliens die with our germs but they also seem to sterilize they'r UFO's and all other things they bring to our planet because we never get infected by their diseases.

-Those beings aeons away in technology, capable of interestellar travel don't discovered the usefulness of byological, chemical, or nuclear weapons when it's about planetary conquest...well...maybe not nuclear. The radiation may kill them when they try to land.

-Many worlds die every day. that's the reason aliens come to earth without caring this planet is full of things that are hazardous to them (Air, water, lifeforms in general)

-The material that UFO's are made is highly attracted by everything inside United States gravitional field. That's because they like to start invading there. But the U. S. (Uncle Sam) government always send men in black suits to try and hide every vestige aliens are in Earth (Usually failing) before taking the aliens to non-specific secret military bases to dissecate and study them where they can escape and wreak havok.

And that's about it. When Earth be invaded by bloodthirsty interestellar conquerors again I expect this list will help you to understand their way of behaving.

when did they try to procreate with our females? unless you mean species

Aliens from signs were dumber, I mean you conquer space travel but cannot open a pantry door?

But WOTW was a dumber movie.

If Alf ever sees this thread there will be Hell to pay.

Are you saying that an astronaut can't get locked in a closet?

Anyhoo, I'm not so disturbed about the Martians in WOTW could be killed by an Earthling metaphor...er, bacterium. I've been wondering how the Martians could have come to Earth millions of years ago, stayed for enough time to bury their tripods, and still not have discovered our rich bacterial heritage.

Incidentally, did anyone else think that the tripods looked like giant, armored Martians themselves? What with the sphincters into which the humans got pulled, and the hige alien mucus discharge at the end when they entered the tripod? Could a tripod be some sort of bioengineered Martian?
