Movies with the theme of alien invasion...

[Gyp Rosetti]

Knowing, Signs, The Fourth Kind.


Oh, I almost forgot K-Pax. Hehehepeepeecaca

Signs was on his list. Hack.

It's made by Ridley Scott. One of the greatest directors of all time (who by the way, made the original Alien). Most of the sets are full scale. Is there CGI yes, but mainly only for large backdrops. Less CGi than you think. The rest no, it's quite amazing if you look at the behind the scenes stuff.

One of the greatest directors ever? Dude, really? I am about to have a cardiac just talking about this movie. RS is a very good filmmaker but he's almost as much of a ham as his freakin' younger brother.

Speaking about aliens, anyone else not a huge fan of CGI aliens? I like old-school costumes and aliens, but I understand that it may be too expensive these days for a studio to focus so much on makeup and costumes. I only like CGI as background objects/environments once in a while.

Animitronic and Puppet aliens don't work too well for moving fast. The costume aliens restrict aliens to be too humanlike. In startreck a Vulcan is basically a human with a beatles hair cutt, pointy ears, and shaved eyebrows, while klingons got some random wierd thing on their foreheads, a beard, and usually darker skin that it. Try doing the action scenes in Avatar or Disctrict 9 without cg. I think good CG is the best aliens but it has to be good.

CGI is good, but you can overuse it. I don't like Movies that are completely based in CGI, like Avatar. Distrcit 9 had a lot of natural landscapes and such.

The aliens on battleship were by far the best aliens in any movie I've seen in a last couple of years. At least appearance wise

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I'm pretty sure I've seen an alien or two in the Lakers/Thunder series.

K-Pax and The 4th Kind were actually very good movies. I enjoyed both of them 100x more than I thought I would.

Definitely. The ironic part about Avatar is all the crap about "connecting with the land" and such when it's all CGI...if you're going to have a message about the beauty of nature, show me an actual plant, not a CGI one.

Seriously. Why couldn't they show us REAL alien plants that can heal the sick and dead. What a waste of time and money that crapper was.

So this went from Aliens to CGI to plant life, how about we combine it all for, Little Shop of Horrors.
