Why are aliens always more advanced than us??

Try to come up with a coherent statement next time. This wasn't remotely funny or intelligent. Whatever you were attempting to do, you failed miserably.
I find it truly pathetic that the author of the original comment is whining about typical movies where the aliens have superior technology and others are talking about man's evil nature. Everyone pining for the 'noble savage' alien is pathetic. It is likely that any alien we do encounter that aggressively enters our solar system would be intent on wiping us out as quickly as possible. If they're carbon based, they would probably try to use our planetary resources. Our only chance would be much like The War of the Worlds and the Europeans first entries into the Americas having microbes kill off the aliens because they don't have any resistances to our diseases. Anything else would just be wishful thinking.
Aliens won't use a Windows OS or Apple for the fanboys out there so no Independence Day scenarios. Sorry. -

Um, OP, that is the most shortsighted question I've read in a while. The fact that these aliens were able to traverse space from beyond our solar system, shows that they MUST be more advanced that us. We haven't even sent humans beyond the moon yet.

If they're aliens and we know nothing about them how can anybody explain where they come from? In movie terms, it would have virtually no impact on the story and 99% of the time is actually doesn't. So what do we do, invite the aliens onto Good Morning America, David Letterman or Conan for a sit down before they annihilate use for the sake of knowing where they came from first?

On a side note, nobody's mentioned Battlefield Earth yet. -

Ah yes the psychlo's. Also known as the stupidest godamn aliens that have ever hit the big screen.
Their slightly more advanced technology was dwarfed by how monumentally stupid their species was.
