Great post - thanks for this. I too can't bring myself to endure the whole film, but really want to know the ending.

Haven't seen it, but read an online spoiler that it was actually the Rapture - people abducted earlier now come back as alien/angels to reform the planet into their own alien/angel Biblical paradise.

No ridiculous twist. The character gets half sucked up by an alien tractor beam that apparently results in him getting super powers. Then at the end he gets his brain put in on alien robot (as the aliens were abducting people to use their brains to power slave robots) but he's still in command of his faculties. He takes off in his new alien robot body, saves his pregnant girlfriend and fights off the evil alien robots over the credits.

During the closing credits we find out that the entire story actually took place inside an autistic kid's snow globe.

Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum fly the captured alien fighter into the mothership and using a 1995 Macintosh laptop, upload a computer virus that disables the shields on all the alien space craft around the world. Meanwhile President Bill Pullman gives an impassioned speech to the remaining American fighter pilots (and that old crop-duster guy) and then flys into battle with them as they fire missles into the blueish-green parts of spaceship. In the end the old crop duster guy flys his plane into Canada to defeat the Hollywood Star Whackers. The End.

Oops, 'Flies'

Long before there were "UFOs", there were "flying saucers" which were far more believeable since, following World War Two and the advent of the nuclear age, there was real reason to believe they existed. So much so that the Air Force was swamped with reports in the late 40s and early 50s, prompting official investigation and response. For never before published online newspaper articles and photos, see:

It ends with getting sucked up, the girl watches her guy get decapitated. The aliens see she's pregnant and drag her off. Meanwhile the aliens/robots are shown eating all these blue brains. One grabs a red one, which is his(throughout the movie he gets real strong and says he's changing)which explains why his brain is different, somehow the light mutated him. The alien eats his brain and starts convulsing then he takes over. He hears his girl scream and goes and saves her, does signature face touch like travolta used in face-off. She realizes its him, credits roll all the while showing still pics of him fighting aliens. It stops after that leaving you to wonder if he wins/loses, saves/destroys earth, just ends like sopranos.
