The film's plot originally had China as the invading force which was realistically the only force today that has any chance of invading the US. But because they wanted to capture the cinematic market of China they had to replace anything that depicted China as a villain and replace them with North Korea.

American counterattacks eventually halted their advances, leaving an area stretching from Michigan to Montana and Alabama to Arizona as "Free America", using the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians as geographic buffers, while pockets of resistance continue to fight in the occupied areas.”

how did i not realize josh peck was in this movie

[@jacob4920]

There's no way this would happen without America noticing months beforehand. You do not, and CAN not, stage an invasion of the magnitude required to conquer a country that spans an entire continent, without somebody noticing. Even if the US failed to notice (that's WAY DOWN on the list of possibilities, but I'll humor the dumb people), somebody else from NATO would tap America on the shoulder, and be like: "Uhh... bruh...?" And point out the signs they were noticing. A surprise invasion of the continental US is impossible. Might even be impossible to even take HAWAI'I!

I recognize that guy. 3:42 He was Colonel Moon in Die Another Day.

[@AndyFieldVoiceActor]

I got 2:50 into this, and as an Army vet and a huge fan of the original, it's all I could stomach. First off, Chris Hemsworth playing a teenager in his late 20s is laughable. The jet flying lower than the paratroopers, the paratrooper shooting while landing, the massive numbers of aircraft flying ten feet apart, paratroopers jumping into an urban area, it's all just silly to start with. Who was the military advisor on this junk? Found him. Jon Barton: "As a professional consultant, Jon has a never-ending thirst for military accuracy and proper depiction of the armed services past, present, and future, across all media platforms."

[@randyramirez4408]

Apparently this is how they did it, They used an EMP weapon that basically fried the entire US grid and effectively disabled most of the Militaries vehicles, planes, and ships. That and they were backed and deployed by the Russians (also invading and doing all the leg works). But as a vet you should know how absurd this is as well.

[@stephenspears5022]

How many people know that the 1984 version of Red Dawn was the first PG-13 movie? I had to look it up. And I went to see it at the movie theaters too. And by the way, I prefer the original Red Dawn. And I did watch the remake. I prefer how the original ends with the American Flag flying over Partisan Rock as they called it. Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen do their characters well. And as far as I know, more realistic. Does anybody remember that the actor who played Robert, I think it was him, was in the remake. I am not a paratrooper, but I am the son of a Former Special Forces and a paratrooper. You do not land paratroopers in the middle of a town with trees and homes crowding it. And like others have said, how did the US government not notice the packs of planes flying across the coast? We have tracking stations and ATC all over the country. Where was the US Air Force?

[@kathylesley9581]

Did anybody realize that one of the kids in the back of the pick-up was flung out during the impact? There three in the back of the truck. Kid gets flung out.Then there were two.

[@nickhill8612]

[@ShadowPhoenixMaximus]

Originally it was supposed to be PLA troops invading. But it was changed to to and sell it to a Chinese audience. How far we've come that we're no longer afraid of hurting the feelings of the CCP ^.^

[@Intrepid_Crusader1096]

It's more to do with the fact that China is no longer an emerging market, but rather has become a significant power on the world stage. Furthermore, the national discourse in this country regarding China has changed from one where China is just producer of cheap goods into one where China is a military rival to the United States. Hollywood is merely acting accordingly.

[@user-bg5yq4rd5x]

These movies weird me out. My fiancée was killed in an accident right before this came out. And she was born right after the first one came out. So she lived between the 2.

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

The thing neither of these movies got right, is how many guns are in America.

[@stephendoherty8291]

Pretty impressive to land Chinese/NK humvees as well as paratoopers and in such numbers of invasion planes with no warning. Was the snow globe and message that the cities had been destroyed?

@@dahomiebolton3553Neither Koreans nor the Chinese service weapons or gear are “tactical gear” by most peoples standards. The scope for my AR costs more than a Chinese service weapon fully loaded out. Also there’s plenty of people in america hiding automatics, you get to know quite a few if you’re friends with military guys and hobby shooters.

As a paratrooper, those people have every right to be living in fear.
