I can think of quite a few movies where humans are the invaders/oppressors actually. The films don't always purposefully portray it as such, but there are plenty on both sides of the fence.

When I go to see a sci-fi movie, I expect for there to be at the very least characteristic differences in the alien species. But in this movie, the emotion was the same, the anatomy was the same.

But isn't the point of the movie that they are just like us? The only difference was in appearance and language?

Awesome, do tell. I might be interested in seeing some of those.

Johnny C:
