Just from this thread alone there are various prefrences on what would be a great invasion movie.

it appears it needs to have this:

a good story line
realism?
the invaders win\the invaders lose
a new idea
lots of explosions
cool new weapons
a scaled down battle and focusing on a few
a whole planet fighting

somebody is bound to hate it
It's true, but this can be applied to any genre flick. Basically, stick to making a good movie, and it's bound to please someone. Or just make a crap movie with aliens or whatever scattered throughout it.

Really, I watch movies for a different experience than I get when playing video games. In games, blowing up aliens with big guns is fun and it's interactive. If that's all I wanted, than I'd do that. Battle: LA is being described as a video game you have to sit there and watch. That doesn't sound that fun.
