Granted. But I don't think there was any support in the movie for the aliens
actually being a threat like that. I felt the author/director/whatever was
clearly trying to show the humans having zero care for what the aliens might
want or think. I mean, murdering babies is clearly *intended* to show the
humans aren't especially nice.
I loved the later scenes, with the main guy threatening to take
"Christopher's" kid away if he doesn't agree to the relocation. That just
felt so ... bureaucratic.
