10 Totally Unique Alien Designs In Sci-Fi Movies

Most aliens in sci-fi movies conform to a set of generic design principles, but some movies are brave enough to break the mold and come up with completely unique extraterrestrial designs. Aliens on screen are often humanoid beings, with two legs, two arms, and a head. These creatures can have some subtle differences from humans, like Vulcans in Star Trek, or more pronounced distinctions, like the fish-headed Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars. Humanoid aliens are obviously a lot easier to film, but they are also easier for audiences to empathize with, because their human characteristics are more relatable.
