If you sucked out the Earths core I think the planet collapsing on itself would be more of a worry.

After a few hours to digest the movie, I keep coming back to having enjoyed it, but it being entirely disposable and having no desire to go back and rewatch it. The first ID4 is a fun rewatch every year or so because it captures the feeling of "what if this actually happened..." and does it in a fun cheesy way. There are a few big coincidences, but the characters introduced are largely thrust into greatness through being right place/right time. Here however the characters introduced at the start are all connected and seem to survive because of who they are. Not investigating the orb ship is bafflingly stupid. It's the first alien contact since the war of 1996, and is either the arrival of a new attack ship, or first contact with a third party alien race. Either way monumentally important and worth investigating. I did laugh when they went straight from the US president talking about how there have been no global conflicts since the war, to showing an area run by a warlord so completely that Earth defense forces haven't been able to access the lone intact alien ship.

paperwind posted:Why can't the alien harvester ship just scrape the entire surface of the Earth clean of all life (seriously, just drag that poo poo around the planet a few times), then drill to the core, and then up and be done with it? I think they were just intended to be arrogant. Based on the scale of their civilisation the force from the first movie was their equivalent of a small logging crew. They were taken out so their Queen said gently caress it I'll do it myself assuming that humans couldn't do anything to stop them. Really, the one thing from the movie I still can't get past is the fact that a small time warlord was apparently able to stop an international force with all their advanced tech from coming to look at the single intact city destroyer ship on Earth for 20 years.

504 posted:Yeah, but he exposed the alien weakspot and sacrificed his life to save a whole bunch of people. His actions directly led to the destruction of the alien fleet very very rapidly. I can't be the only one who always wondered how they took down the city destroyers that weren't in the process of firing their primary weapons.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:once their shields were down they could just drop nukes on em The scene immediately after where they make a point of showing them transmitting to the world how to take them down makes me imagine the combined military might of the world rolling their eyes..."Oh, shoot missiles at them. Why didn't we think of that"
