THIS definitely NEEDS a sequel! I need to know what happens in other countries with their militaries.

[@skyshooter7259]

The aliens land near coastal cities, depending on their objective it would be either massive global invasion or localized strike to make a bridge-head on the planet, likely the America's would have the worst of it lot of countries with relatively small armies and slow mobilization capabilities and lots of coast, Europe would fare better mostly UK, Greece Spain and Italy would face the greater impact. Moving south Africa in general would face lot of trouble although there is alot of independent militias that could help the small standing armies around the continent. Middle East would be fine too much desert but decently big armies. Russia probs fine its unknown if how good these aliens deal with cold but judging by the dissecting scene having so much water inside on cold temps wouldn't be good. Asia Japan could see overwhelmed with threats all around but they got a capable modern army could even the field, China would be fine big coast but big af army aswell the south Asian states Malaysia Philippines etc would see trouble lots of places for the enemy to land and small not so well supplied armies. Inda would have to deal with several fronts but should be fine they got a decent armed force and lastly Australia new Zealand austria would find difficult to defend some parts of his territories but they also got a big desert as a shield to their backs, NZ would faces the worst of it.

[@calebh7902]

​@@DavidJohnODeaBruh😂😂😂😂😂😂 they would nuke the earth in response to Hamas😂😂😂😂

[@playsfromanotherdimension]

we need to see what happens when the humans counterattack with air support and the aliens are uncoordinated and shocked. This means round 2 would be easier for the humans but that also leaves the question as to if the aliens did the same thing and got even more reinforcements. At the end of this movie you see roughly a company size of marines reinserting into los angeles from the hollywood side. With this being the case wed have to see how far the aliens made it, because they got considerably close if not past Dtla. If they got as far as dtla, the marines and army would have to cut through the main force in LA, just to get to cut them off from getting a considerably larger force getting past downtown. We need a sequel. This movie was a gem but has alot of unanswered questions.

[@rikudouray]

@@DavidJohnODea shut y b a

[@peterresetz1960]

I pretty much agree with your assessment. It would seem that there is a resource need for the extraterrestrials attacking invasion. The possibility that water might be the resource as it seem to be the extra terrestrial soldiers circulatory fluid, and as a fluid used in the drones. But that wouldn't make much sense in that there's a lot easier sources of water in our solar system that would require a armed attack, such as the Jovian moon Io. Pretty much the same goes for mineral resources to scatter around our Solar System's various asteroids and moons of the large planets. So my interest in this movie is, what was the premise for the extraterrestrials to conduct an attacking invasion ?

What has bothered me all these years since I saw this for the first time is that the end of it was so open-ended it was literally begging for a sequel to be made

[@moteroargentino7944]

I agree, in most other alien films you just know we're gonna win and it's all just a big show. They lack the dread, the fear of the unknown and the desperation of facing and enemy that's literally threatening humanity's survival. This film managed to capture that feeling, specially when the alien drones got airborne and wiped out the air force. From the marines POV, it looked like they were alone, fighting a losing battle and help would never come. The other film that also got it right was the War of The Worlds, although the plot device used to win, as well as the alien's motives and actions were fairly dumb. But it was still scary to see how helpless both the civilians and the military were.

[@spectreagent00]

Those parts feel the most real. Panic is contagious

[@abstract5249]

@@spectreagent00 I guess that's why I like them. By contrast, combat scenes feel over the top. I think that's because by the time the protagonists fight, they've already gained experience with whatever it is that caused the disaster, so the director takes liberties in turning them into superheroes, doing things that people wouldn't normally do. On the other hand, panic scenes feel more like something an ordinary person would go through, so they're more immersive and take you in.

This is one of the most interesting and unique movies to have ever come out. Yeah, alien invasion. Big whoop. But it's how they operate and the tone in which they do it. Almost as if the human race was fighting a reflection of themselves. They attacked a major coastal point through essentially an amphibious landing and created a beachhead for more forces. They systematically set up ambushes for counterattack efforts and pushed inland with a shock and awe tactic. Was shown to both drag the wounded away as well as having some kind of leadership structure. They even set up command and control points much like a human military. Their weapons didn't seem too crazy like other alien movies with lasers that wipe out entire cities or laser guns that instantly disintegrate whatever it hits. They don't seem too dissimilar from conventional human weapons but are still different enough. They also employ various weapons based on the situation, such as that heavy cannon thing on the bridge as well as drones as like a support and air superiority craft. They also seem to know when they've lost a fight, such as the final battle where the ragtag unit destroyed the command and control center and the aliens retreat.

Aliens won’t need weapons to take out California they could just use the wrong pronouns. Lol

[@jaredgalarza]

Cast in this movie was amazing!

[@acerdan]

We always kick any aliens ass, because we’re all that. It makes the movie suck. I know we’re full of our selves, but come on.

[@commandercritic9036]

To be entirely fair, 3/4’s of the movie was the US Army getting its S*#@ kicked in, before the tide was finally turned, and on that Note, the aliens are not hugely more advanced than us in the movie. They do have better technology yes, but they use it in much the same way we do, they are a superior force, but not so much that with careful planning it cannot be overcome. When it comes to that kind of enemy, inertia is key, if the aliens could keep up their momentum and prevent humanity from regrouping and reorganising, they’ll hold the upper hand. But as soon as a weakness is found, that weakness WILL be exploited, which is exactly what happens in the movie.

I mean, this is as real as we can get on alien invasion. Their tech is similar to ours although more crude in origin, they have no shield and can be killed, like us humans.

Eventually, before that, the USMC was getting pushed back

[@JarodFarrant]

I binged the film on Netflix! We need a sequel!

[@VibotoZhimomi]

The civilians just watching 😂😂

[@garvin356]

I miss when they used to make movies like this. Now we have Marvels and Madame Web...

[@Lorrdd]

This REALLY needs a sequel. Like, 13 years of back and forth warfare, but the aliens can't move too far inland because of their water needs, giving us an untouchable production core and we whoop em

[@Kriscuit_Bonkin]

Yes for sure. It makes me think of a ww1-esque battle ground. Los Angeles (maybe San Diego and San Francisco) is nuked or bombed (no point in taking back a destroyed city with a heavily entrenched enemies) Paris is successfully taken back London has a perimeter preventing further advancement Hong Kong is nuked (no point in taking it as the island is impossible to take back) Japan set ups a perimeter around Tokyo preventing further advancement as well Moscow is successfully taken back with causalities similar to Stalingrad Other countries that weren’t part of the initial attack possibly push back smaller invading forces like Germany and Jordan. Leads to a stalemate Maybe more advanced aliens waves come to turn the tide Drafts, refugees, trenches, POW aliens, technology recovered, geopolitics change, war amongst humans could rise as humans fight over resources to combat attacks in their own country.

[@asmith1496]

Such a great movie!!

[@mingw2304]

This the best part of the movie and it just started

[@speakerroach4015]

The combat scenses and communications are better than some military movies made today for sure

[@Fredrick-k3n]

What a great time to be in Canada!

[@FoundingKushTitan907]

this movie always deserved a 2nd movie

[@RainbowQueen23]

I can't imagine how terrifying this would be as a marine your literally being sent to fight something you've never even thought of before

[@ShaneB-q2f]

Hey...(whispers)...I think we're about to start battling the aliens! 🤠👀

[@drewbauer28]

This movie was SO badass when my friends and I saw it in jr high. I remember we got out of the theater so amped to go fight aliens XD
