Natural Resources
The quest for natural resources is a common theme for this genre, and Earth is a target-rich environment. In Oblivion, Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman team up as humanity’s last hope to stop an alien race from siphoning the planet’s oceans. Conversely, in Avatar, humans are the alien invaders trying to relocate indigenous tribes in order to mine Pandora’s precious metal, unobtanium. Another natural resource Earth has in abundance are humans. In films such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Invasion, the aliens sought host bodies and kept moviegoers on edge wondering who would be assimilated next. Humans have many other tantalizing uses for off-worlders. In Jupiter Ascending, humans were harvested to make an anti-aging formula that extended life, while in Stargate, the ancestors of ancient Egyptians were transported from Earth to the far-edge of the known universe to work as slave laborers. Last, but certainly not least, humans also make for a delicious feast. As mentioned earlier, IT showed us that crossing the galaxy to consume humans is worth the trip. Why we have not seen vegan alien invaders is beyond me.
