A weird complaint I heard about this movie is that the alien's tech is too primitive looking. I fail to see why that's a problem. Just because they have space travel doesn't mean they need to have lazer guns or teleporters. Obviously their just like us in a way; More advanced in some areas than others. Humans have super computers that can make billions of calculations in less than a second. Do we have faster than light ships or the power to create mini black holes in our hands? No.

Such an underrated movie. The Deployment scene @04:15 is my absolute FAVORITE part of this movie. In particular, the Chinooks @05:31 as they're approaching over the beach. Then, the SSGT looking down on the streets @06:31 and seeing the troops engaging the enemy in Humvees/Bradleys on the streets as civilians are running for their lives (wish they showed more of this). Then the cherry on top with the lone A-10 doing what it does best and then climbing out as the Chinooks approach the FOB. Honorable mention, once the Chinooks land, all the attack helos and A-10s screaming towards the thick of the fighting. The entire scene gives me goosebumps! Fkn AWESOME!!!

And at 4:18 they were getting the SITREP while en-route. They were being told that enemy units had advanced beyond the beach and more were coming out of the ocean, the 101 tanks had been destroyed, companies beyond the defensive line were falling back, enemy had heavy assault weapons that were equivalent to HE rounds, they were not evacuating civilians fast enough, and there were friendlies behind enemy lines.

@@saj1567 Thanks! When I first saw the movie back in 2011, this scene was my favorite from the get go. So, I kept rewatching it, looking at every, minute detail. That’s how I was able to notice civilians running for their lives while the ground forces were engaging the enemy (SSGT looking down on the streets). Then at the next scene, I happened to see something flying down & up as the helots were approaching. That’s when I realized it was an A-10! Love that thing.

[@starsiegeRoks]

What i like about this movie is a realistic military response. They start getting ready to the minute everything begins to kick off. The alien attack was a blatant blitzkrieg attack, so the military has no qualms using massive air and land power to destroy them. If i was the Aliens in question after this battle, i wouldve called it a failed scouting mission and wouldve made Earth a no-go zone lol.

[@davecrupel2817]

So you give up after your paltry scouting/reconnaissance force gets beat? You don't bother sending more serious power in? Lol

[@starsiegeRoks]

@@davecrupel2817 no, I don't. If my scouting force gets absolutely gonzo'd in 24 hours, so badly that they couldn't even evacuate, then I would reason that it would take alot of resources and time to properly conquer humanity (assuming I didn't want to destroy the planet). Would you wanna wage that war? Commit millions of your own to possible death? The Aliens in the movie show that they have compassion for each other and try to save their wounded. So why would I, and intergalactic race, get into a costly war with an extremely war-like race (humans) that I had just discovered? Logic dictates that I leave the humans alone until I have a good reason to take Earth.

[@davecrupel2817]

@@starsiegeRoks Fair assessment. Assuming one isn't in a desperate "do or die" need for the planet's resources, i probably would come to the same conclusion. After all, the lore says they made their decisions based on how they saw earth at the time. Mid-ww2. When we were less advanced, not at all united, and in the middle of a world-scaling conflict. They did not anticipate how quickly things would change in the time it took them to get here.

[@OutlawCaliber13]

One my favorite invasion movies. There's some great parts. Plus, there's nothing to say that an invading force has to be greatly superior to our own technology. They made that fit nicely while being fairly believable. Pity they didn't continue for a second. At least cleanup, or make this a forerunner force.

[@Cbricklyne]

Actually, the fact that they likely get here from another star system at least, suggests that their technology HAS to be superior to ours. In every respect and conceivable way imaginable. There would be no other acceptable explanation or situation. Put another way, there's no way that a civilisation that would be comparable to ours that we could put up a good fight against, would ever be able to leave their star system to invade a planet on an entirely different star system, light years away,, any more than we can leave the solar system for anything. It was the one major unbelievable thing about this movie and really of any alien invasion movie where humans can put up a fair fight at all.

[@OutlawCaliber13]

@@Cbricklyne Not really. We're working on space travel right now. There's a few things that need to click into place, but there's nothing to say that we might now figure it out two days from now, then have a test run a year later. While parts of our technology will absorb, and advance with it, most of it would remain the same for a time, yet we very well could have viable speedy space travel by next year. Not saying that's going to happen, just pointing out that it could be that simple. It's not inconceivable. What is inconceivable is that a comparable civilization WOULD do that. Our first steps would be exploration, not conquest. Conquest would be the space of the more advanced, which would likely lose the conquest part through advancement, or the desperate. If we were desperate, even with what tech we have, and the ability to travel the stars, we would turn to attacking a native species to get what we need. We've proven that plenty here on earth. Most likely any species traveling here would be far more advanced than us, and have purposes that we don't even really think of. That's not required though. Nor is another species looking so "alien" as is often depicted. If there are aliens, which the number of stars/planets lends to, there's likely "intelligent" species very similar to us.

[@sjonnieplayfull5859]

​@@Cbricklynetheir biology might make them more suitable to space travel, so their spaceships need to be less advanced. They might have bodies immune to radiation, due to their home planet not having any protection against it at all, so their bodies do have it. They might be able to hibernate for hundreds of years so they don't have to travel that fast, they can take their time with Voyager 2 speed. They might be a peaceful species who have endured an apocalyps and had to flee their planet. This is the first time they go to war Looking at things from a human perspective, sure, they would outclass is. Thing is, these guys aint human

[@TheRelativy]

I can guarantee you, that if we have to, we can run similar invasion within 40 years from now, but the invaided planet has to relativly close to earth. We do not pursue space travel, because it is to expensive. Simple as that. But if you have incentive you can have similar level of technology and travel within let say 10-12 light years away. Also the enemy could be very advanced, but some of their technology can not work properly due to number of factors. Like radiation levels or something and they are stuck with old fashion kinetic projectles.

[@Ariana321]

Just because the aliens have presumably FTL travel doesn't necessarily mean they'd outclass us in every way possible. Just as plausible that they simply had access to a kind of mineral or material which would allow such technology to be produced.

[@solinvictus4367]

The book series In the Balance by Harry Turtledove explores this. An advanced alien race invades Earth at the height of WW2 and at first they have the advantage but the one area that humans have over them is adaptability. While humans were initially at a huge disadvantage the aliens were not accustomed to adaption at all so they slowly lost their advantage to the humans and got pinned down in a brutal Vietnam style guerilla war against the Nazis, Soviets, and Allies

[@sjonnieplayfull5859]

​@@solinvictus4367read some about the book. Basically they send a probe in the middle ages, and they assumed we would create new weapons at the rate they did, so they expected the most advanced enemy they would meet was a knight on horseback Even more shocked when the Germans switched to new tank types right in the middle of a war Also very realistic was them being cut off from supplies. They captured factories here and could make new guns , mortars and grenades, but any advanced stuff they lost could not be replaced

[@tonypeppermint5329]

There is some lore for the aliens, apparently known as Land Sharks. Turns out, they were a advanced species in combat until they were beaten and needed to escape to another planet.

[@tnminhkhoi1398]

[@rodgerdodger2459]

Very true. Plus if history has taught us anything, highly outclasses civilization can and have held off superior forces for many years and even decades just by using unconventional tactics. That time allows for development as well and would likely lead to reverse engineering alien tech to make us semi equal in firepower.

[@DavidKnowles0]

This film is really good and massively underrated. The ending was a bit weak. Probably would have worked better if the Marines had just fought their way out of LA and then encounter the Army setting up a new defensive line, reveal that aliens haven't move off the coast line. Then more ships land in the sea.

[@toddkes5890]

Or instead of the drones falling out of the sky, have the drones just idle in place once the control ship is destroyed. So instead of a coordinated, acting/reacting, and guided swarm of drones, you have individual craft hovering in place that will defend themselves and attack if anything interesting appears in their sensors. If Drone_A gets attacked by weapons fire then Drone_B might go over to investigate and open fire, but Drone_C through Drone_E which do not see the weapons fire will remain in place. Contrast that with before where Drone_A will pull back from weapons fire while Drones B-E can receive data about Drone_A so will automatically move in and engage.

[@JStorm13]

[@jonboll2066]

[@katamariroller2837]

There may have been no other path, the beach under the choppers might have been clear while other sections were in enemy hands, and maybe the aliens´ AA fire was deemed ineffective enough to risk it. Also, those are not Chinooks. They are CH-46 Sea Knights, colloquially known as Phrogs, which were retired I think three years after this movie aired.

[@tristanbackup2536]

[@shawnadams1460]

When your friend who is a Marine thumps you in the chest and says "This $#!T was well made!" You can't get a better stamp of approval than that IMO. I was in the Navy (served in the mid 90's), and saw this in 2011 with my cousin who had just gotten out. They ABSOLUTELY NAILED the realism on this. The Aliens were powerful, but not invulnerable, the Marines reacted to this type of threat how you would expect. Some took it head on, some freaked out, some just fell in line and tried to stay alive...if you think that that isn't how they would act against freekin aliens then your nuts. What I loved about this movie was HOW the Alien units worked very similar to us, in squads, with support and heavy fire teams. While they were more advanced, it was overwhelmingly so. Definitely goes to show you that having that kind of dependency on one singular structure/unit is folly. A good military in general LOVES a good central command, but know it is worthless if the individual units cannot continue to work without it.

[@iclutchrooftops5524]

aliens travel millions of light years to use flak against a pre level 1 civilization lol

[@psps6623]

Those E.T's from Canada are no joke, though.

[@ahmadsantoso9712]

They can travel thousands of light years to reach Earth but cannot land on land.

[@iaaf_nw2367]

They're an aquatic species. Do you think if we're invading another planet like earth, we would land on the water? Of course not, were a terrestrial species so we're landing on land.

[@vrass775]

They are not much more advanced then we are and apparently came from somewhere relatively close by to earth, they are also said to be little more then the remnants of an older and more powerful empire and their equipment shows it well.

[@kingladekahn]

They wanted Earth's water. That's why they invaded.

[@kineticdeath]

diving into water is much easier than diving into the ground. They slow themselves enough that its no the cement slab impact you'd get from a terminal velocity drop

[@nathantudor5763]

If I remember correctly they are aquatic creatures as well. They want the ocean and are just clearing land nearby as a buffer zone. At least I think they say something similar in the film

Very underrated movie

[@donaldduffy8947]

This movie was awesome.

[@septic.1s]

i loved this movie, it finally wasnt a movie where the humans stand no chance against the aliens. The military and aliens actually have the power and are equals. THIS is what alien movie invasion movies should look like, not the entire world military getting wiffled out in 2 seconds

[@wwbetson]

Such an underrated movie! The only thing I had an issue with, was the fact they kept calling the FOB (Forward Operation Base) the F-O-B. They wouldn’t do that. They’d simply call it the fob. How do I know? I’m an army brat. My dad is a retired colonel and my brother is a lieutenant colonel, both West Point grads.

[@yoshijb9428]

While you may not be wrong, this is Hollywood. Are you surprised?

[@wwbetson]

@@yoshijb9428 not really, but there are some movies that get it right. Black Hawk Down was pretty accurate with its depiction of the events that took place and capturing the character of soldiers in combat. There are only two other movies that did that even though some liberties were taken storywise; We Were Soldiers and Saving Private Ryan.

[@billponderosa88]

Do you know how awesome this would be for us as a country? If aliens were to attack, we would not be divided at all anymore

[@tr7938]

Doubt it, Republicans would call the invasion a Democratic hoax.

A superb film. Excellent 👏👍🙂❤
