Skyline wasnt too bad...i like it 'semi realism' that aliens ARE too fearsome, really fucks you over, like the 'winning feeling' with the rich guy to speed off in the ferrari only to be stomped to death...i mean for too long we never see that failure...so its kinda refreshing imo
Gloverfield is another one, good clever shows 'we not as invicable as we likes to believe'
scary and humbling is what people need to see, so they can shut up from being cocky and heroic...again jmho
