every one of the main characters are incredibly shallow and 2-dimensional, uninteresting and forgettable. The vaguely memorable ones are the sandy haired communications guy who said repeatedly that they were all going to die and the Black guy with the prosthetic legs. Character development was thrown out entirely in favor of special effects.

But I have a problem seeing why the alien ships had to hopscotch and leap frog on the surface of the water. Didn't they just fly through space and the earth's atmosphere? It seemed like a really fucked up way to navigate, take aim at our side and shoot weapons.

Their weapons were awesome though.
