If they had such awesome weapons, why the heck didn't they use them?

Too many human qualities were given to them. Or rather, other than
appearance, there didn't seem to be a nonhuman character trait. 

And along with that, why judge the human's treatment of the aliens in
the same way we would judge treating other humans? The aliens aren't
humans, and human rights need not apply. It wasn't established till
quite late in the movie that perhaps they should (this may be
intentional, though).
