What was the deal with the ship? It's carry a million aliens who are all starving, most of whom seem like complete morons? How does a society of beings advanced enough to have intergalactic space flight have so many idiots?
How many dumb people are on our planet? Maybe it was a prison ship, like how England sent a bunch of prisoners to Australia.
Also they had been there 20 years, so the ones that were on the younger side probably had no education.
And why did we allow the aliens to bring their weapons with them? (I'm presuming they brought them with them, because they were searching for "their technology", complete with fuel sources. Obviously, these came from the ship.) And if the aliens had their weapons, why weren't they using them to revolt?
Remember in the movie when the part broke and fell from the ship. I assume the weapons fell out when that happened, or they were smuggled by aliens. All the Aliens were placed in the same area, and they probably did not have enough weapons to arm even a 100th of them. They were placed inside a camp that was guarded and had missiles. If they revolted the governing body of the world would have just bombed that area until all of the aliens were dead. I'm sure they tried to revolt at one point but were probably unsuccessful.
Any then, at the end, when CJ leaves with his son in that *huge* ship, why doesn't he attempt to bring any other aliens with him? And the excuse that "we need all the fuel we have to get home as quickly as possible" for a reason not to heal the hybrid guy? How much extra fuel could it have possibly taken on the year and a half trip back home?
He said he would heal the hybrid guy, but it would take three years. So basically CJ was only willing to go straight home then back with no interruptions in between. Why he didn't bring any other aliens with him, I'm not really sure. I think he was just trying to escape and bring back help later.
I don't know, the plot holes, the preachyness, and the documentary style kept me from enjoying this movie as much as some others did. Overall, though, it was entertaining enough, after the slow beginning.
The only thing about the movie that bothered me was how we were treating the aliens. Mostly it bothered me because if this were the real situation the aliens would probably be treated in the exact same way
