In films worden we altijd door Aliens aangevallen, soms met succes zoals in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (origineel en remake zijn beiden goed) en soms gaan de aliens dood door country muziek als in Mars Attacks. Maar de website Mania.com heeft een top vijf gemaakt van de slechtste invasies van buitenaardse wezens voor ons op een rij gezet.

2. Independence Day (1996)
Who are they?: A vast armada of six-mile-long ships armed with guns that can blow up cities and carrying hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of tentacled humanoid beasties with telepathic powers and access to highly advanced weaponry.

What's their mission?: To invade earth and devour its people, citing their only motivation as wanting to see humans die.

What can they do?: Actually, the better question is what can't they do? They're bigger, faster, stronger and smarter than us, can control our minds and they are impervious to all of our traditional weapons. Also, they have technology that is beyond our own comprehension...but...

Why are they incompetent?: They can't afford the most recent edition of Norton Antivirus. Ultimately, all it takes to defeat the "greatest threat mankind has ever faced" is some real annoying spyware. Also, despite their varied powers, these guys can't take a single punch from the Fresh Prince.
