@@abdullahansari437 I guess you misunderstood 'Being in a 'stressful situation' and being in a 'impossible situation' Yup, in a stressful situation, some people may panic, other may be paralysed, but a lot (especially trained ones) will act accordigly to the threat. Here, this is not a stressful situation, it is something that CAN'T happen. You can't be attacked by aliens, the door can't be forced that way. Let's go back to the door : The humans here knew the door can't be forced by force. So each times the door fails, their brain has problem to think : They keep watching because the next blow has to fail ... and it didn't. Having reality collide with what you thought was true : a lot of people are just paralysed by that. It is not something you can train.

[@jebediahmiller1458]

This is what made me love this movie. The aliens weren't just a race of violent sociopaths who wanted to invade earth simply because "we're evil," but living creatures that possess empathy and loyalty to one another who were simply part of an intergalactic imperialistic regime that earth was on the wrong end of. This added a shade of grey to the plot that made it much more engaging.

[@fakhrymuhammad4612]

That's one of the reason i like this movie. The aliens can actually tell between good and evil living being. If they see something that not become a threat to them, they will not attack

[@deathstrike]

Somehow the alien ones Harper and the others were intelligent. It didn't come off as them being part of a regime, but that another regime devastated their planet. They are simply trying to survive as well. They found Earth rich in resources and they felt perhaps they could assist in trying to rebuild their world. They don't come off an unnecessarily hostile or cruel. If we had been more advanced or unified, perhaps a dialogue could have been established. An "exchange" of resources, technology, and cooperation may have gone towards a possible alliance and benefitted both races.

I just love the alien's armour. And their tech. And the fact they came to rescue their buddy. Also that they have some variety in physical form.

[@matthewgumabon7498]

Love how the aliens operate so casually here haha. When they board the destroyer to get their man back, they just bust in and extract. No unnecessary kills or damage, just get the dude and bounce. Probably could have taken out the whole crew out right then and there and disable the ship... but they didn’t. Just wanted their friend back. Then in the later scene, the alien just busts into the machine room, ignores the crew, and walks over to and scan the machinery like no one else is there haha. And when the crew starts firing at the alien, even though it knows the bullets have no effect on it, the alien first tries to disarm or incapacitate the person instead of going straight for the kill. Either these aliens have some kind of moral code of no merciless killing, or more likely they straight up just see zero threat in the human crew and their weapons so they straight up ignore them, kind of like a man swatting away flies as he’s trying to work haha

[@Model3GenerativeANdroid]

Maybe the aliens were practicing Muslim. Since that moral code you've mentioned is called the Just War theory which was embedded in the Holy Qur'an.
