7. The Aliens From Independence Day
This thoroughly flawed albeit enjoyable sci-fi flick see's a host of advanced alien beings descend on earth in interstellar spaceships, scaring the living daylights out of everyone except Will Smith, who's just angry about stuff. The aliens apparently traverse the galaxy consuming resources from planet's like ours without too much bother, only this time it's personal and they're going to hand out some pain to the human race too, who are only too happy to fight back. So what happens in the end, how are they defeated? Obviously by a 1996 macbook, which Jeff Goldblum's character uses to implant a virus that takes the mothership's shields down, allowing human pilots to fly their ships into the cannon blasts, triggering a chain reaction that blows everything the alien's built to smithereens. Hold on, back up. These Aliens are technically advanced enough to build a fleet of spacecrafts and invade planets at will, yet cannot withstand a computer virus? And this was 1996. Think what an iPhone could do to their security. It's a slightly cheap conclusion, but one that always reminds us to schedule a virus scan.
