Actually, I wonder how the ALI-UHNS could have taken good old San Diego, like they said in the movie, (Hey, I live there, I don't care if I end up making a Hyperbole) when there is an Air Force Base, a nearby Marine base and a Naval base working in conjunction with each other. Plus, don't forget Tijuana, and the Channel 4 News Team.

I am not going to watch anything except trailer - but did they used any anti-tank weapons?

Did you pay anything at all to the LAV-25's or the Abrams at the one scene where


And yes, the Alien Air Support and Walking Mech Artillery counts as Anti-tank.

..Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't practically EVERY alien have inbuilt rocket launchers?

Well, they had Incendiary Ammunition which was pretty effective most of the time, but not all of them had rocket launchers for the heavier vehicles.

movie was awesome.

I agree about the drones not having AI to keep on fighting was a cheap way to get victory (I still cheered), another nagging detail *nerd rage* the command center was slightly above ground with a part sticking out (antenna?) well duh shoot that part and no more broadcasting orders etc.

well the command center may have had more uses than remote piloting drones. it could have been monitoring the whole battlefield and commanded forces in the same way you would command your forces in a real time strategy game. it could have been that most of the remote pilots died in the command center.

And we now know why the aliens didn't nuke us; they were having a Starcraft tournament.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Just saw it, it was awful. Just terrible.

What was I expecting? Something with an ensemble cast with stories lines that wandered past each other without having too much interaction. Something like Steven Spielberg's 1941(which was about the real battle for LA). Not a comedy, but a similar narrative style. Something of a wider view that would give us a real picture of a pitched battle. Some characters are safe, even unaware of the danger while others are already in the thick of it.

Not this "Respect your elders", semi-fascist, jingoistic trash.

Cant someone make a good alien invasion movie for once?

I like D9, wasnt boring like this tripe. But then again, it wasn't really about an invasion. More of an Alien Refuge Crisis Movie

If we had an accurate Alien Invasion movie, humans wouldn't win.
