Apr 29, 2015 Both are alien invasions: One from a global perspective, the other insular. One is a popcorn movie without shame. The other takes itself too seriously. Repost the OP to be added to the mention list. Head to head post everyday.
Apr 29, 2015 dont really like sci fi but i'll go with independence day was signs the one where you had to throw water on the aliens to k--- them ?
Apr 29, 2015 Signs. I prefer the atmosphere of isolation rather than a global disaster, I'm usually bored with global disaster movies
Apr 29, 2015 I thought the premise to Signs was stupid. Why would they invade Earth if they knew water could k--- them? Be like me jumping in a volcano and being surprised when I suddenly start dying. And don't we have enough water in the air to do something? Not much of an alien invasion when a humid day can wipe out a battalion huh?
Apr 29, 2015 Maybe they were desperate? No more suitable planets in sight? Dying civilization? This scene scared the crap out of me when I was younger:
Apr 29, 2015 This is tough. Both s--- IMO. I guess ill go with Independence Day just for nostalgia reasons lol.
Apr 29, 2015 There are moments in Signs that are effective like the above scene, but it ultimately just falls apart. I'll take the cheesy excess of Independence Day.
Apr 29, 2015 I feel like nostalgia is taking over. Signs is pretty hilarious by accident and also has salvageable moments.
Apr 30, 2015 There is no better alien movie than Independence Day. 60% on RT is ridiculous! Signs is a good film though.
Apr 30, 2015 True until I realized they could die from water, and came to a planet that's mostly water lol. Signs' aliens dumb af
May 2, 2015 First, f--- religion, second, when i picture aliens, i see Independence Day. When I hear that President giving that speech, I get patriotic every d--- time! hahahahahahha
May 2, 2015 Independence Day only survives because of how gloriously cheesy it is. It gets dangerously close to being a flat-out terrible movie. Signs on the other hand is actually 70% of a great movie. Granted that other 30% is terrible, but I still think there's enough good there to make it worth watching. It's the last good thing Shyamalan made.
