Jun 5, 2014 10:12 AM UTC The strangers came from outer space, and this summer they’re landing at your local multiplex. The infiltration begins with Edge of Tomorrow, which opens on June 6, leading a wave of intergalactic visitors that will last into August. In the time-twisting Edge, the aliens are an invading horde laying waste to the future Earth, a swarm of massive, vaguely insectoid creatures with piranha-like mouths and the power to overrun the world as we know it. (Luckily, humankind has Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise on its side, with the twist that she’s the action hero and he’s reluctantly drawn into the fight.) But just as no two planets are alike, the summer’s alien offerings come in many forms. There are friendly aliens and deadly ones. There are tech-savvy aliens. There are aliens who came to Earth recently, others who have been here for ages and some who mostly leave us alone. They can look like trees or trucks, jellyfish or raccoons, humans or hardware. There’s even, in The Signal, a nod to the little-green-man era of alien imagination. The only difficulty for us moviegoing Earthlings will be deciding which ones are worthy of checking out.
