...
*rubs nose*

Spoiler for movie spoilers; beware!:

1. How can a spaceship survive oceanic reentry (no air-braking process) when not even a few minutes ago their communications sistership got snapped in half after colliding with a human satellite?
2. In the movie Signs, aliens didn't like water. In this one, they don't like sunlight (aliens will probably be in awe of our human Ray-ban products once they discover them). So what do the humans do? Grab a couple of Barrett M107s, blast a window pane on the alien ship's bridge and let'em be blinded by the glory of our sun. All hail human ingenuity. O_O
3. The aliens don't come in peace but they don't bother killing everything in sight when they deem a target -a live human or an entire ship- is not showing signs of aggression. Come on, get your priorities straight, people from across the galaxy. Either love us or hate us, but don't give us those mixed signals, please...
4. Those rolling shredder thingies spat out by the main ship are vicious like hell. Think Sonic the Hedgehog meets Demolishor from TF2:RotF.
5. Aliens have more or less human-simian features for their face, except they have spiky beards. Gillette and Wilkinson will probably cry tears of blood trying to open a market on their home planet.
6. The alien vs point-blank 127mm cannon shot scene...how come the main character isn't bleeding from the nose and ears after such a close call? The overpressure should have busted his eardrums. He was barely out of the red ring around the cannon mount that basically says "stand within that circle and the sheer concussion from a cannon shot could actually be fatal to you".
7. Okay, so they actually TOOK the Missouri museum ship away from its pier (so, yeah, it WAS decommissioned) and out to sea when the John Paul Jones, Myoko and Sampson got sent to the bottom of the ocean (the survivors prefer to go back with the old battleship instead of getting debriefed). How and where in the nine hells did they get...the fuel and the ammunition for the final battle scene? The Missouri should have dud shells aboard, not live ones...and was the Missouri under the "keep in working conditions just in case it needs to go back into service" governmental constraint in the first place...or was it completely decommissioned after being donated to Hawaii? (two of the four Iowa class units should be, at least, but since most of them were donated, the constraint might not apply anymore) Can't remember right now.
8. Taking the Missouri out with geezers from her old crew (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) and ACDC's "Thunderstruck" as BGM is...awesome...I guess?
9. Oh, so they do know the "crossing the T" battleship tactic? I wasn't just "show 'em big missiles spewing out of VLSes and that'll be enough"?
