If you wants to the movie or listen to the comment it stated that it needed both mechanical electrical and biological signals not just electrical. Well kind of cheesy it did at least keep with that theme across the board. Overall it was a fun movie if nothing else.

[@Grothgerek]

The swarm detects a combination of lifeforms and electronics. If either of the ones doesn't exist, the swarm ignores it. Which is kind of logical, because it means that it only attacks civilized lifeforms (threats). It ignores beings like itself, or simple animals.

Unfortunately common sense would eliminate many plots that storywriters consider interesting. To be honest its already kinda difficult to come up with any realistic idea why Aliens would attack anyone for example.

​@@AliothAncalagonI think for our resources they will but it depends upon how desperate they are

[@AliothAncalagon]

@@Dominique_Toretto Thats the "problem". Earth is one of the worst places to get resources from. Unless you already live on it obviously, which makes the logistics worthwhile. Going to Earth as an alien to find resources is like travelling to Antarctica, because you ran out of pens and heard that the scientists there have a few ones left over.

@@AliothAncalagon True, but for the vital resource we have which they lack, it might happen

[@AliothAncalagon]

@@Dominique_Toretto If a civilization emerges, then whatever is vital for their civilization is something they already have, otherwise it wouldn't have become vital in the first place. But the more I think about it, I can come up with scenarios that would at least make half sense. If an emerging civilization for example happened to be ejected from their solar system in some super rare event, somehow barely survived the coldness of having no sun on their now rogue planet and would then happen to arrive here by freak accident a million years later, they might indeed decide to take over the solar system as their new home system. Actually not the worst plot ever.

[@21preend42]

The plot here doesn't make sense much to me. Here's my fictional story of how they could have done better. Humans on a different galaxy Andromeda evolved technologically for a billion of years. Instead of humans creating the AI , the AI can be of alien and unknown origin in the Milkey Way, and humans could have came from the Andromeda Galaxy with the scope of colonizing the Milkey Way. In order to do so, they needed those giant structures with human DNA on it for a long galactic travel. The rogue AI fights the Human colonizers in Milkey way, unknowingly of the danger of a rogue alien AI, and so they didn't have any EMP weapons that will damage the AI and not themselves. Because of this, we can say that humans on Earth, can use a powerful EMP to disable the AI and the moon too, taking both out. The moon will than remain in a elliptical orbit, devastating the planet still, and humans having to deal with that. With time humans will explore the moon and learn the tech. To me this is better because it doesn't go into the typical humans were so advanced that they've killed themselves and we have to learn from their mistake. Instead we can be treated as a third party in the middle of a war between an alien AI and human civilization.
