"Heroes" the TV show was legit pretty good about stretching outside the three largest American cities.
Also "Independence Day" at least flirted with the idea of a global invasion, even if all the action took place in DC and Nevada.
Otherwise... yeah.
Edge of Tomorrow completely tossed most of this habit to the side and at worst didn't suffer for it, but imo was incredible because of it. One can only see The Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, NYC, etc so many times before it gets old. The Louvre? Flooded and full of aliens? That was new.
