On the subject of Battle Los Angeles, why was there no sequel? Also why is there no sequel to District 9?
The first one didn't do very well at the box office and the second film had no sequel for creative reasons. It's the same reason why Spielberg never made a sequel to "ET". Instead of making a sequel to DIstrict 9, Neill Blomkamp made "Elysium".

I did not watch the 2009 version but I think the original TV series "V" had cocooned humans so maybe the remake did also??

Elysium was better than District 9. Awesome movie. Scifi and Horror are my two favorite genres and unfortunately, NFB, I'm not sure what movie you are talking about in the original post. Might be because I tend to prefer movies with less action, not more. The cocooned human trope is vastly overdone, so it could be anything. "Fire in the Sky" was the last movie that was even remotely moving with cocooned humans, and that's going way back. "The Matrix" doesn't count because the robots aren't aliens.

Speaking of overdone scifi tropes the top two right now have to be, 1. Time travel 2. Artificial Intelligence In fact, I'd say A.I. is to scifi movies and shows now as to what nuclear/atomic energy was to scifi movies in the 1950's.

Spectral is really good IMO. I was thinking you were remembering that one set in Russia with the invisible aliens The Darkest Hour. It wasn't bad.
Could the show be Falling Skies (Noah Wylie of ER) or Earth Final Conflict (Roddenberry show a lot earlier than you mentioned though)? Prob not, they had multiple seasons.
