You missed the fundamental premise of the entire movie....the overall underlying demeanor of the aliens was their desire to really want to just get back home and not bother the humans. The only reason they ended up at Earth in the first place for 28 years was because a fundamental component of their ship had broke and then was lost.

The cause of the aliens rioting was because they were all forcefully encamped into a small area...all 1.8 million of them. They were all living on-top of the other. That itself would cause their "urban" unrest.

The humans on the other hand were doing what they always do in in reality today...being greedy and controlling and taking pleasure from hurting others whether they were other people or aliens.

Z I got the movie. Come on I've been to Iraq over 3 times already and I did pay a little attention in college. Thanks for the breakdown.

I just saw this. The presentation kind of reminds me of "Starship Troopers," but in a much better, less campy way. The cinematography was well done, action sequences with the guns and machines were shot very well. It was worth seeing on the big screen and I liked the way the action sequences were done versus "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," which I though Michael Bay got carried away a lot throughout the movie.

Interesting plot, it kind of makes me wonder and question what it that really happened, would we (as humans) really behave that way? I feel like I shouldn't say anymore - I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
