The danger of meeting/encountering Aliens
Why we should be afraid of first contact with extraterrestrial life forms? In following movies contact with alien species doesn't end well for us humans. They invade our planet in order to gain earth for themselves, to study our world/experimenting with us humans being theorethically just insects to them.
As Stephen Hawking said: "If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the American Indians."
Other movies warn as about exploring new worlds and underestimating the dangers of unknown species. We might think we are under control of everything, and superior to every other life form, we could be wrong.
