I finally just got around to watching this, and I have a couple things on my mind…

First of all, why oh why would you have another baby, knowing that to do so puts them in danger, as well as the rest of your family?

The girl was a liability the whole time. By my count, she:

  • got her littlest brother killed
  • almost got her other brother killed at least twice
  • left her pregnant and due mother alone, during which she almost got killed
  • made choices that led to her father getting killed
  • got a raccoon killed

Cool concept, annoying characters. Where was all the sand coming from? Won’t watch again.

    I watched that movie one time a few years back and I mainly remember the writing just being bad. Their survival decisions made no sense to me. Just hated the logic of that movie.

      If you knew the waterfall was safe, why not deliver the baby behind the waterfall?

      Really easy questions that the script fails to answer.

        It’s been a while since I watched it, but doesn’t the baby come early, and their original plan was to deliver near the waterfall? I may well be wrong, mind.

        Because eventually the aliens will play Zelda, and learn to look behind waterfalls in real life.

      For that matter why do they even go back and forth between the house and the store why not just stay in the store?

      The aliens seem really stupid and basically just assume that if they can’t hear anything there’s nothing there so it’s not like they’re going to camp out at the store and wait for the humans because they obviously don’t at any other point in the movie make any kind of plans
