Saw it today with my go-to sci-fi movie amigo. I won't hash out 5 pages of comments, just a few chime ins.
1. The WW3 backdrop was distracting because it never got explained at all. When Wyatt Russell and Emily Blunt are at the gas station, everyone is raiding it like it's COVID Day Zero, but the rest of the movie we see people casually going about their business.
2. Jane was my favorite character and her scene trying to use her necklace to fight off Collin Firth was my favorite scene. It sucked that she then vanished for an hour but somehow was close enough to get to the TV station in 5 minutes.
3. No way in hell NBC is sharing that broadcast.
4. Wardex never seems to have a great reason for not letting the stuff get out. What are they so scared of? Speaking for the extreme minority of myself, but I would find it remarkably comforting to learn we're not all alone in the Universe.
5. We spent the first 15 minutes after the movie giving alternate dialogue for the alien's final message, including.
"Hey, how about those Knicks?"
and
"You have 12 hours to surrender."
