Take it and make it: My kind of alien movie.


If a movie starts to drag on, my mind wanders, then if the movie ends poorly, my mind likes to think of alternate endings. I’ve always wanted to put my ideas out there for movies. Get some feedback, and maybe help modify movies the way we WANT them to be. So I’ve made up “Take it and make it.” Any movie producer, screenwriter is welcome to the idea. Just mention me (or us) in the movie and let us have tickets to see it. Got a Deal? 

I’m really kind of irritated with many of the Science Fiction alien invasion movies that have been created throughout the years. I understand the m.o. (modus operandi). Humans are living their regular lives, a big force of aliens comes to town, usually hovering above our large cities. We send our military to “negotiate” which never works out. Seriously, we make one alien movie, and now we think flashing lights at them will make them understand us? Here’s a clue: If they want to contact us, they will send a representative, ok? If they sit inside their ship all “Billy Bad-ass” they’re going to attack.

We usually can’t beat their technology (obviously because they have a fricken space ship and we, as of yet, don’t). We get our asses kicked for a while until we find one tiny little flaw, take advantage of it, and get our revenge all being better humans for it realizing that our little differences on Earth are pretty petty when aliens come for our asses.


Here’s the idea. Aliens come, as they always do, and they find out that they really screwed up. Their space flight technology kicks butt, but their weapons suck. It can turn out their weapons are like Tasers to us. They hurt a bit, but if you’re wearing a thick jacket, it’s not going to hurt so badly. Their invasion goes south right off the bat, and we being the “loving” humans we are, duplicate their space flight technology, rig a few space aircraft carriers with it, and go and invade their home planet. It’s on now space men!

The plot can go one to say that humans start to enslave the aliens, do the nasty stuff our dictators on Earth usually do. Big corporations use the alien planet to make money, etc. you know, pretty much how third world countries are treated today. (I know, big moan, sounds like I’m preaching right?) Now we get a group of humans who think that isn’t a good way to treat people or aliens. They can steal some of the technology and form a rebellion on both planets. Humans fighting alongside of the enslaved alien races to better both worlds using a combination of their and our technology. Talk about a sequel generating idea.
If they can do the special effects well, I think they’ve got a hit. Need more? Ok…. Um…they cure cancer and HIV….and erectile dysfunction… now everyone has a tie in…right?
