I don’t nitpick over really minor things, like the wrong snakes and such. I can understand unrealistic silly if it makes sense for the movie.
What I can’t stand are plots or situations that can only exist because the writers don’t know what the fuck they’re writing about, or lack any imagination in making plot reasons happen.
Battlefield Los Angeles is one of those movies I just can’t fucking stand because of this.
Tap for spoiler
The aliens invade Earth because it’s the only planet in the solar system with liquid water, and that’s apparently very valuable.
Excuse me, but are you telling me an interstellar capable alien civilisation cannot melt ice? Do you have any idea how much water there is in the Kuiper Belt!? There are chunks of ice floating over there the size of countries.
Any alien could be mining the Kuiper Belt for a thousand years and we’d never notice. Nobody would have to commit so many resources to cunduct such a wasteful invasion of an inhabited planet with an amount of water that is a knee high puddle compared to everything that’s available in space!
The alien technology is somehow… Modern and not very futuristic, and eventually get beaten after just a day or two of intense fighting.
So… The alien species can cross the stars. The alien species apparently has the technology to analyse Earth from light years away. They can not only detect liquid water on Earth from that distance, but also that there is a civilisation living there.
They have some pretty fucking granular information about Earth for observations made several light years away, and… that is the best they could do!? A two day failed invasion with a pitiful amount of troops and no orbital support?
They have the technology to fly through the depths of space and get mind bogglingly detailed information from so far away, and they invade land tiny force equipped with crap that functions almost worse than what we currently have!?
This species is written too stupid to have even made it to an interstellar level.
