Very innovative, film that breaks the mold

There are countless movies about the various disasters that the earth has suffered, especially the aliens attacking the earth. Most of these movies are that the earth is attacked without warning, and then the human beings are defeated in a row, and then scientists find the weakness of the aliens, In the end, the protagonist saves the earth at the last minute. Such a story is indeed easy to write wonderfully, but it lacks novelty, and everyone will inevitably suffer from aesthetic fatigue. And this "Skyline" is also a positive description of the earth's war with aliens, but the storyline of this film is somewhat different from similar films in the past. For example, our characterization of the alien attack method is a brand new alien invasion experience.
Aliens live in places far away from the earth. They visited the earth on a small scale in the past, forcibly took away some human research, developed a technology that can control the human brain, and applied it to "blue light", Can attract people to approach. They already have everything to know about the human brain. The so-called aliens in the film are actually their "human" machines. For aliens, the lives of their fellow citizens are priceless, so why put your own people on the battlefield? Therefore, the first wave of attack must be a "human" machine. This IQ... an alien must have. All kinds of ground-dwelling and flying "mobs" are just some machines (from the experience of the protagonist being caught in a UFO later), but for these machines to be intelligently programmed to make them more suitable for the combat environment of the earth, it may be higher than the ready-made ones. It is much more difficult for an intelligent human brain to input some simple commands. Therefore, these alien machines are in addition to the backup system (for example, the manager of the hotel "killed" the "alien" with a car and the "alien" automatically spit out the damaged brain to replace it with a new one. These operations require a backup system) , the main activities require the use of the high-efficiency CPU of the human brain (you will find that the brain is still connected to the spine). First, the big "drone" came to Earth, sucked 80% of the human beings, hoarded them, then went back to make machines with their brains, and then came back, the unmanned "alien mothership" sent out brain-driven mobs, Use mobs to prank the earthlings. Because it is unmanned, the alien mothership can not add the protective film (Shield) as in "Independence Day", so it is easily attacked by the earth's drone (this is also very realistic, the first batch of aliens It was definitely not "killed" with human's own nuclear bombs, but after that, because the aliens had long expected that the mothership would be attacked by nuclear bombs, they used the "automatic reorganization" technology, so they "resurrected with full blood on the spot" . The plan of the aliens is actually to let the earthlings "kill each other" first, and then come to the earth after all human beings have died, and reap the rewards.

    I knew when the drone came out... oh... Laomei's military propaganda film... The biggest highlight of this film is that the alien monster (or robot?) that was not killed by the bazooka was punched by the male protagonist Beaten to death... = = Another entertaining and funny movie that is worth watching because it is so bad... ps The bearded man is very handsome!
