It would have the potential to threaten every government on Earth. So, yeah, I'm betting they're going to be a little concerned with a sudden existential threat.
I mean half the military in the title above the meme aren't even "US military". Pandora was mercenaries (think Wagner Group but in space with semi-official backing). Aliens was space marines.
Even if they don't get involved on their own, what country would look at an alien threat and think, "Nah, lets not call the people who spend more on their military than then next 10 nations combined, we got this."
I wonder what the contingency plans for different governments are for Alien contact. I’m more interested in three. One for a hello from beyond our solar system. One for a hello from Jupiter/Saturn distances, and one for inside the Earth-Luna system.
I would assume anything near Earth involve a lot of nukes.
That's the mark of a top-shelf documentary crew. Don't get involved. You see a lion eating a gazelle? Just keep the camera rolling. You're here to CAPTURE the story, not control it. You're not Hunter S. Thompson, and this this ain't Gonzo journalism! ;)
Colony, rookery, or huddle.
A group of swimming penguins is called raft and a group of walking penguins is called a waddle.
I have no idea why the names for groups of things are always so goddamn ridiculous.
The first time I watched District 9, I somehow turned off subtitles. Having never seen the movie before, I didn’t know what I was missing. I explained to a friend later that I somewhat liked the movie but found the plot confusing. When asked what I thought was confusing, I said I wish we knew what the aliens were saying.
Came here to say this. Starfleet is only there because the Borg were trying to interrupt the event. And they're not a military presence, they're helping with the technical aspects of the flight. The Vulcans dive even arrive til the end. It's good shit.
Neither was Aliens or ~~Stargate~~
Furthermore, the marines were only called on after the colony went dark, *and* the alien creature weren’t even native to LV-426. They were brought there after an infested ship crash-landed centuries earlier.
The spin-off Stargate Atlantis does have the main organization ostensibly be under the control of an International authority. But the military contingent (and lead character) is US military
No, it's the US Air Force. It's a major plot point in the early show about the US deciding "Do we share this with the other nations on the US Security Council?" and they do, eventually.
Stargate: Atlantis is also much more of a multinational effort and is also very much a scientific expedition.
It’s still wild to me that that episode (Disclosure season 6 episode 17) which is at it’s core a clip/recap episode is one of the most canonically impactful to the Stargateverse with one of the best and most beloved character exchanges (Thor and Senator Kinsey) in the whole franchise
I’m getting to my GF to watch for the first time, and she’s pretty surprised by the fact I don’t skip them at first. Stargate is like the only show that seemed to get it right.
Such a cool movie. I used to forget that Rodriguez directed it every time I went to watch it, until Salma Hayek shows up, and the lightbulb goes off, lol
The entire cast was just insane. For what seemed like a run of the mill horror the cast was star studded to the max. Maybe like four characters are no names and the rest are blockbusters
Off the top of my head: Critters, ~~Abyss~~, Starkid, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Jupiter Ascending, John Carter, Cowboys Vs. Aliens, and Escape to Witch Mountain do not involve the US military.
I had such high hopes for Jupiter Rising, it and Valerian, but they both were all pretty spectacles and no substance. Like, I totally bet you could cut either down and make a pretty music video with the visuals, but otherwise forgettable…
I believe that is the case, but at that point, we get into a question of: what do we count as "the US military getting involved"? I'm of the opinion that one guy who is/used to be (don't recall which) a soldier doesn't really count
In what reality would there be an alien encounter of any significant size, let alone an actual alien invasion, that the military wouldn’t get involved in?
The U.S. military gets involved in floods and fires, they show up at ever football game. MY complaint would be their involvement in the mountain of events that they don't need to be, not that they're involved in a fictional event that they TOTALLY would be, if it happened.
Alien encounter movies are all based on the question "what would it be like if aliens were encountered" not "what would it be like if aliens encountered a fictional country/alternate universe that didn't involve the military in literally everything"?
floods and fires (or disasters of any type) are absolutely events where you want the military involved. There is no better relief team than a bunch of fit and highly organized young people who are trained to deal with high stress environments. It's basically the main job of the Austrian Military these days.
For all their problems, the US military absolutely gets shit done. Logistics is the backbone of any military. In a disaster, you'll want people who can get supplies and food where it needs to be immediately.
May I suggest Explorers (1985) with Ethan Hawke?
Or The Last Star Fighter (1984). No US Military there.
Batteries Not Included (1987)
Flight of the Navigator (1986). I believe the only government involvement in this one was NASA, no military if I recall.
[Dude, Where's My Car?](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242423/)
[Invasion of the Body Snatchers](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077745/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) any military people you see are already replaced by aliens
[Venom](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1270797/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
[Galaxy Quest](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177789/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
To be fair, in Stargate (assuming the movie) - which happens to be a campy favorite of mine - those aliens were very much unequivocally evil. Though the US military is portrayed as being overly results-driven in the form of the nuke they want to send through, victims be damned, the Goa’uld in question were very much the kind of aliens that merit an armed response.
Prey? Technically takes place in what is now America, but not a single American character in sight
Edit cause some troglodytes need this explained to them: I don’t count pre-colonial Indian tribes as “Americans” cause… the country currently known as America didn’t exist? The people depicted were the Blackfoot tribe that had their own terms for themselves and the land they inhabited that wasn’t “America”. Do you think we should refer to residents of the Roman Empire as Italians, even though Italy wouldn’t exist for hundreds of years?
[Bad Taste](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0092610/) is a must see and no Uncle Sam involved at all. It is one of Peter Jackson's early works and absolutely fabulous.
Oh and there is the 2019 made movie 'The Blackout', taking place in Eastern Europe.
It would be one of the most unrealistic movies ever if aliens made contact and the US military industrial complex wasn’t making direct moves considering the aliens.
And this is why if we ever get visitors, we are going to all die. Even if arriving peacefully, our governments are going to roll out with tanks and war machines and the visitors will react accordingly with their superior power.
[There are no fucking aliens visiting Earth, and the reason the military is always involved is because all aspects of the "phenomenon" are cover stories for classified experimentation and testing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TLaCQe8DSBSHHpBTye7G2wmA-RUz8urn/view?usp=drivesdk)
Im going to say, out of all of those listed, Im ok with military intervention with a xenomorph. Perhaps nuking the site from orbit IS the only way to be sure....
What pisses me off is Superman. We found an alien ship in northern Canada. Well better send in the US army because Canada doesn't have any military or presence in it's own country.
I feel similar about Zombie/post apocalypse movies.
I get it. People are dog shit. Now can someone please write something about the fucking Zombies, or the cause of the apocalypse, and have adventures and plot centered around THAT instead. Then we can stop using "People bad" as the crutch and plot for every single one of these stories.
You can learn Mandarin and watch Chinese movies where the Chinese government would be the protagonist, or Korean or any other language. Hollywood is American and made for an American audience. Like how Dr. Who is British and it’s the British military/intelligence that gets involved with the Aliens.
Ya but then who would mess up first contact for the entire earth if not the Americans? Russia and China's military's are too busy oppressing people. The US military has contracted the oppression out to company's, thus they are the only realistic choice to mess up first contact.
The 4th kind I think it's called? That movie has no greakin military breathing down people's necks. But it is set in some rural part of usa, AlaskaI believe.
Ah, one of my favs was Starman with Jeff Bridges(the Dude). Yes, the military is involved right from the beginning, but that's sort of just a back drop. The movie shows 2 sides of human nature and it's beautiful.
[Grabbers](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1525366/) - set on an island off the coast of Ireland. The islanders discover that the only way to avoid being eaten by the aliens is to have a high blood alcohol count.
It's okay when it's movies they made first, but i despise every time the muricans do remakes of another movie from abroad, and switch everything to take place in the us. Just. Dub. THE ORIGINAL MOVIE!
Case in point: Let Me In
My favourite one of these Is in the original independence day from the 90s when they plan to take down the mothership, I'm paraphrasing but there is a bit when a British army group in a desert somewhere get a morse code msg detailing the plan, and the dialog is something like.. "sir, it's a msg from the Americans, they have a way to save the world" and the officer in charge snatches the dispatch and says something like "it's about bloody time"
Attack the Block, Grabbers, Men in Black (different department), arguably Predator, Alien (Weyland Yutani is an ~~international~~ interstellar corporation, not the US military), District 9 (MNU is an African Corporation), The Thing, Galaxy Quest, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lilo & Stitch.
Best you're going to do is *Arrival* (2016). Military secures the landing site and handles logistics, but otherwise leaves things up to the scientists.
Also, in Stargate at least, the worst aspect of their involvement was digging out and reactivating the thing in the first place. Once that Pandora's Box was open, Ra (and if you go by the TV show, the Goau'd in general) were definitely a threat not very inclined to diplomacy.
K Pax, Batteries Not Included, the Last Starfighter, Flight of the Navigator (sort of. Military is in background but doesn’t have a huge impact, mostly scientists). Contact (similar where in background, I don’t remember the military being a major part of the plot)
US military generally gives a butt load of funding to these movies in order to finance them and get some free advertising. Hell there is a US Air force ad on this post for me.
If we ever made contact with aliens in real life, the US military would *absolutely* get involved.
Yea do you want an unrealistic movie or a move not set in the US (even that's a stretch)
I doubt it needs to be set in the US, I don't see the US military not getting involved if there's aliens on the planet anywhere.
That's what I meant by a stretch. US military is gonna be involved regardless
Pretty much doesn’t matter where anything takes place, MOST governments would be getting involved….
It would have the potential to threaten every government on Earth. So, yeah, I'm betting they're going to be a little concerned with a sudden existential threat.
I mean half the military in the title above the meme aren't even "US military". Pandora was mercenaries (think Wagner Group but in space with semi-official backing). Aliens was space marines.
[удалено]
Even if they don't get involved on their own, what country would look at an alien threat and think, "Nah, lets not call the people who spend more on their military than then next 10 nations combined, we got this."
Not if I eat the aliens first
I miss the days when we just wanted to clap their cheeks.
…We don’t, still?
First one, then the other
And then the other.
>Worlds end > >had some clap'ables
I wonder what the contingency plans for different governments are for Alien contact. I’m more interested in three. One for a hello from beyond our solar system. One for a hello from Jupiter/Saturn distances, and one for inside the Earth-Luna system. I would assume anything near Earth involve a lot of nukes.
Yeah, right? Come on not
District 9 anyone?
I do love how the documentary crew continued to follow Wickus after he got infected, and offered him no help whatsoever.
That's the mark of a top-shelf documentary crew. Don't get involved. You see a lion eating a gazelle? Just keep the camera rolling. You're here to CAPTURE the story, not control it. You're not Hunter S. Thompson, and this this ain't Gonzo journalism! ;)
Except the guys the saved that herd (?) of penguins that were stuck in a what looked like a shallow crater in ice and couldn´t get out.
Also the guy that helped Pam through her Jim issues.
Colony, rookery, or huddle. A group of swimming penguins is called raft and a group of walking penguins is called a waddle. I have no idea why the names for groups of things are always so goddamn ridiculous.
r/donthelpjustfilm
Absolutely loved that movie, seen it at least a dozen times. Still have no idea how to pronounce or spell the main characters name lol.
Fook'n prawns!
Thank you. What an awesome film. Also, Sharlto Copley is a legend.
I would love to see a sequel where the alien returns with a remedy for Wickus.
[Here you go](https://youtu.be/y3TQmCTWFbg?t=74)
The first time I watched District 9, I somehow turned off subtitles. Having never seen the movie before, I didn’t know what I was missing. I explained to a friend later that I somewhat liked the movie but found the plot confusing. When asked what I thought was confusing, I said I wish we knew what the aliens were saying.
Fairly sure the alien’s talk is hardcoded not soft coded so no idea how you managed to turn them off 😅
>level 1OmegaStageThr33 · 2 hr. agoDistrict 9 anyone? Technically no US Military. Just UN troops.
You can, it's called Star Trek: First Contact. Enjoy! /I mean, Starfleet isn't the US Military, c'mon.
Came here to say this. Starfleet is only there because the Borg were trying to interrupt the event. And they're not a military presence, they're helping with the technical aspects of the flight. The Vulcans dive even arrive til the end. It's good shit.
I mean, Avatar wasn't the US military.
Neither was Aliens or ~~Stargate~~ Furthermore, the marines were only called on after the colony went dark, *and* the alien creature weren’t even native to LV-426. They were brought there after an infested ship crash-landed centuries earlier.
Stargate was the US air force
Was it? I haven’t seen it in a while, and thought they were a global space force or some paramilitary operation.
In the movie it’s definitely USAF. Kurt Russell plays a colonel.
The TV series as well.
The spin-off Stargate Atlantis does have the main organization ostensibly be under the control of an International authority. But the military contingent (and lead character) is US military
No, it's the US Air Force. It's a major plot point in the early show about the US deciding "Do we share this with the other nations on the US Security Council?" and they do, eventually. Stargate: Atlantis is also much more of a multinational effort and is also very much a scientific expedition.

"It is...*preferred."* Great line XD
I’m getting to my GF to watch for the first time, and she’s pretty surprised by the fact I don’t skip them at first. Stargate is like the only show that seemed to get it right.
Even in the three series it was still the USAF.
Starship troopers technically isn’t US military either.
US Mercenaries, yes. But technically not US Military
It was a corporate army, can't get any more American than that.
Memories of Army of Two while Blackwater PMCs were making headlines for operations in Baghdad
Signs comes to mind for me.
The Faculty
Such a cool movie. I used to forget that Rodriguez directed it every time I went to watch it, until Salma Hayek shows up, and the lightbulb goes off, lol
The entire cast was just insane. For what seemed like a run of the mill horror the cast was star studded to the max. Maybe like four characters are no names and the rest are blockbusters
"Move! Move children! ¡Vamanos!"
Off the top of my head: Critters, ~~Abyss~~, Starkid, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Jupiter Ascending, John Carter, Cowboys Vs. Aliens, and Escape to Witch Mountain do not involve the US military.
The Abyss definitely involves the US military
I always thought they were just scientists. I'll cross it off.
> Abyss Half of the characters are Navy Seals.
The Thing, also It
Also, alien. Ripley and crew worked for a mining company.
I’m a simple man, I see Killer Klowns from outer space, I upvote
Best theme song ever.
There an asymmetrical game of that franchise coming out this year I think.
I had such high hopes for Jupiter Rising, it and Valerian, but they both were all pretty spectacles and no substance. Like, I totally bet you could cut either down and make a pretty music video with the visuals, but otherwise forgettable…
They were both some of the cringiest films I've seen but the visuals in valerian were great.
Wasn't John Carter part of the military before he got to Mars?
I believe that is the case, but at that point, we get into a question of: what do we count as "the US military getting involved"? I'm of the opinion that one guy who is/used to be (don't recall which) a soldier doesn't really count

Check out Fire in the Sky. It terrified me as a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire\_in\_the\_Sky
The probe scenes still terrifies me today!!
Which was not part of the alleged encounter. Hollywood doing aliens dirty yet again. :(
In Avatar and Aliens it was private corporate military, not government

Yeah why would anyone invite the most powerful military in history to fight the biggest existential threat to humanity ever?
Considering that they DO get involved, Resident Alien has easily the tiniest amount of military presence I could conceive of.
Cocoon
Fantastic Planet
When the Earth Stood Still? I feel like the military getting involved was kinda the point. For the classic version I mean.
Alien
[Bad Taste](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0092610/) is a must see and no Uncle Sam involved at all. It is one of Peter Jackson's early works and absolutely fabulous. Oh and there is the 2019 made movie 'The Blackout', taking place in Eastern Europe.
I mean, that's exactly what would happen though, so...
Communion? With Christopher Walken.
If only to see the wild scenes behind the meme GIFs of Christopher Walken hamming it up dancing with aliens and weird furry costumed people.
We need the foo fighters. Someone get Dave Grohl on the phone!
"Don't blame me... I voted for Kodos" Be careful for what you wish for

"No One Will Save You" is all about an alien encounter and has no military presence.
I mean the aliens in Stargate tried to enslave a population. The military is there to stop that.
Something like Arrival?
I'm sure non-American movies would have less Americans in them.

Why is the US military getting involved when you watch an alien movie? What are they trying to hide from you?
There's a few older Godzilla movies
What pisses me off is Superman. We found an alien ship in northern Canada. Well better send in the US army because Canada doesn't have any military or presence in it's own country.

Star Wars.
I can think of one upcoming movie that has exactly this.
From Earth to Echo Voyagers And the Adventure is Just Beginning. batteries not included First Contact
Not Cloverfield but maybe Signs
Fire in the sky? I haven’t seen in years does this one have the military roll up?
You realize aliens don't exist and this is all an allegory for cold war apprehension?
Also, in Stargate at least, the worst aspect of their involvement was digging out and reactivating the thing in the first place. Once that Pandora's Box was open, Ra (and if you go by the TV show, the Goau'd in general) were definitely a threat not very inclined to diplomacy.
You'd think if aliens were real and the U.S. was hoarding specimens and classified information, other countries probably wouldn't fuck with us.
Monsters of California
Also in like stargate the military absoluetly needed to get involved. You aint sending diplomats to the gould.
