Starfish Aliens
 Warning From Space / int_31c5e7fb
comment
Starfish Aliens: The movie has literal Starfish Aliens. They're quite aware of this too, so they transform themselves into humans to communicate with Earthlings. May be a borderline case of this, as they speak Japanese/English from the onset. Also the inverse is true with the aliens more than a little weirded out by the human form when they encounter humans.

Covers Always Lie: Posters for the film exclusively present the movie as being about a starfish kaiju that attacks Japan. The story is actually about a friendly race of literal Starfish Aliens who came to Earth to warn them about a collision with a rogue planet called Planet R.

Benevolent Alien Invasion: The Pairans are not actually alien invaders, but rather benevolent beings trying to save Earth from destruction, even their infiltration attempts by sending a disguised member of their kind is done just so they can ensure Earth is made aware of the threat before it's too late.
