Battleship the Movie? Monopoly the Movie? Remaking Clue?

Tetris: the Movie?

I see spikey haired manga boys battling with the blocks yugioh style.

Aggressive space aliens are unrealistic.  Full stop.

From what I hear they don't come to Earth looking for a fight.

Snakes and Ladders The Movie would be cool.

Less unrealistic than peaceful space aliens, imo.

Not really.  If an alien species is capable of travelling to Earth, they're probably rather peaceful.

Why? If the travel is STL, the only logical reason to travel in space is to create colonies, which means we'd be in the way sitting here on the Sol System's prime bit of real estate. And if the travel is FTL, then all bets are off as that completely changes the paradigm.

You're basing this on something written in something called the Latino Review? The Latino Review? Really?

Not to mention posted in May 2009.

They're not going to achieve interstellar spaceflight without annihilating themselves if they are overly aggressive.  And then there's the matter of surviving the actual decades-long voyage.

They're not going to survive to evolve into beings capable of understanding spaceflight if they aren't somewhat aggressive.

What other reason is there to go on such a decades long voyage except to found a colony? And what are they going to do when they arrive and find their new home already occupied? Especially as such a trip would almost certainly be a one way affair.

If the aliens arrive using STL means, they will not be peaceful; your premise is flawed.

Indeed.  But social concerns will either chill them out or kill them.

Why wouldn't they know beforehand?
