I just have a few questions about this film
1) Okay, so the aliens come here from outer space, they bring five ships....
Do they need to call hope to ask to send more ships?
Don't they have more ships?
If they do, why do they have to phone home for them? Wouldn't not hearing from the five ships they sent be a good indication they needed to send more ships?
If they don't have more ships, why call home? What good would that do?
Why didn't they just send the ships to begin with, you know, hit us with overwhelming force?
Don't they have more air power? They send these massive ocean ships, but one flying saucer thing?
What happened to the force shield that had the last destroyer trapped?
How did they get so close to that island when they needed to in like three minutes when they said they were 120 miles away early in the movie? Was it a supersonic destroyer?
2) With regard to the transmission array...
If they were outside the force shield, why didn't any human jet planes from somewhere else help out to take out the communications array since it is the key to winning?
If they were inside the force shield, why didn't any human jet planes from pearl harbor help out?
If all they needed was three satellite dishes to call home to their planet, why didn't they just put three satellite dishes on every ship they sent? I mean, they had thousands of those bomb things, and dozens of those death ball things, couldn't they find room for three satellite dishes in the trunk or something?
3) With regards to the transmission/communication ship that got "broken up" by the weather satellite...
So the ship traveled millions of miles through space and was designed to enter the earth's atmosphere at thousands of miles per hour, but a collision with a weather satellite fatally damaged it?
If it was headed for pearl harbor, why did the mass of a satellite 1/10000 of it's mass knock it so far out of its path to china?
If phoning home was the key to victory, why didn't they use the force shield thing to protect the communication ship when it got close to earth?
If phoning home was the key to victory, why didn't they just send two communication ships, or three?
Why did it enter Earth's atmosphere at all. Couldn't it just remain in stationary orbit above Pearl Harbor and pass along messages, without subjecting it to danger on the surface? Did the aliens have all this technology but couldn't make a communications device good enough to send a transmission a few miles into space? Wouldn't you think every alien soldier would have a satellite phone good enough to do that?
If the force shield worked like they said, why did they send anything but communication ships with force shields?
Why not just do what I said above to phone home, why have a massive, yet exceedingly fragile ship that is the key to winning the whole deal?
Why did any of the ships enter Earth's atmosphere? Why didn't they just launch death balls from space while orbiting earth? The Death Balls were pretty unstoppable. Why not put half their forces on the surface and the other half in space so if things started to go wrong, they could just split, or wait for more help to arrive from the home planet?
Why?
Nothing made any sense at all....
