Skyline (2010)

This dreadfully boring alien invasion flick is still worth watching - precisely because it's really hard to make an alien invasion flick boring.

What's more, it's a labour of love. The invasion scenario is meticulously plotted (and approved by military historians, no doubt), the specialist alien troop designs are fascinating.

The film just doesn't come together but if you're military geek, you might want to take the chance.
