Cinemas are about to be assaulted by a wave of alien invasion movies.

Heres our round-up of ten forthcoming films for your consideration…

Cinema tends to have cyclical patterns.

Described asThe African Queenwith aliens,Monsterscould be an interesting take on a familiar premise.

Skyline

Already generating buzz due to its literally eye-catching trailers,Skylineis set to divide the geek community.

Early footage and photos look impressive, but I cant help but worry.

Director Jonathan Liebesman is probably best known for lame horror films,DarknessFallsandThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

Still, Warner Brothers believes in him.

Its given him the reins forClash Of The Titans 2.

The film also stars Kevin Durand (Robin Hood, Lost) and Timothy Olyphant (Hitman).

Based on the graphic novel, cowboys and Native Americans team up to repel alien invaders.

Potentially the most exciting film on the list, just for Abrams and Spielberg working together.

Extraterrestre

The foreign option,Extraterrestreis a Spanish film that sees UFOs fill the skies above Earth.

Instead of the zombie apocalypse, perhaps we should be preparing for an all-out alien invasion.

I will say this, though.

If any aliens are monitoring our planet, they must think we are the most xenophobic race ever.

No wonder theyre staying away.

Its for their own good!
