You mean the abject failure that was SkyLine ?
Skyline cost $10 million to make and made that money back in the opening weekend...
Hardly a failure at all.
This humongous pile of rubbish cost over $100 million, let alone what the marketing budget is that Sony must be throwing at it at to get people to watch it.
It was a waste of money to make it and will be a waste of money for anyone to spend money on watching it.

Originally by: Cairn Bolete Looking forward to Cowboys and Aliens though.
Sucker Punch first, then Cowboys and Aliens.
No love for Super 8?
Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Area 51...c'mon!
Probably the only two people I'd trust right now with anything resembling Sci-Fi.
Everything seems to be poorly edited, written, produced, directed, acted, cannon-fodder.

Originally by: Zhim'Fufu But it ended up as just another urban war movie seen through the eyes of the grunt on the street.
When video games can make ú1 billion sell-through, it was a matter of time before those games influenced films.

Originally by: Henry Haphorn You know, in my opinion, no Sci-Fi movie could ever stand out more than the original Stargate film that featured Kurt Russell and James Spader. That film jump started a very awesome storyline that catapulted the subsequent TV series to success. Mainly Stargate: SG-1 with Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Micheal Shanks, Christopher Judge and Don S. Davis (may he rest in peace). Originally, the series was suppose to die off by the end of the 3rd season, but later lasted into the 5th season and then finally closed off several years ago with the 10th season. There was something about the TV series that captivated the audience and thus kept it going. Was it Richard Dean Anderson (McGyver FTW!)? The sexy and smart Amanda Tapping? The voice of reason that is Micheal Shanks? The beefed up, but gentle and honorable Christoper Judge? Or the tenacity of Don S. Davis?
But of course, I'm talking about a TV series here in a thread about movies. I can see the difference here. But I managed to find that the least known sci-fi films tend to become well established yeas later as their fanbase grows (case in point: Tron).
Good point.
As much as I disagreed with the film, as the premise was stupid* it certainly had very decent sci-fi legs the network was keen to run with, much to my approval.

*There are billions of planets and natural resources on the way to earth that are much easier to mine/harvest/tap** and in far larger quantities - why they hell do Aliens keep coming here to do it? Unless they are coming here for a bite to eat?
**This is assuming that when an race enters a stage in evolution that gives them the ability to travel through interstellar space, they'll know how to mine an asteroid - or get 'bots to do it EVE-ONLINE Video-Making Tutorials Vid - New Tricks |

:)
The other plot line I hate is the one when we are seen as a menace to the galaxy, based on tech we've developed in the last few decades, compared to the rest of the universe who have had several millennia to iron out the rough spots in their moral barometers.
Oh, and the hilarious one is when an Alien comes to Earth to understand what Love is...by getting laid, and then leaves the girl, jumps back on board his spaceship and returns to his home system - systematically and unintentionally learning what it also means to be a guy!
