![]() Uh, we haven't changed because we don't have a clear alternative to change to. Even worse, when the scientist asks why can't the aliens just give us clean technology, Klaatu says that technology isn't the issue and it's because we refuse to change.These aliens, who clearly are using their own advanced technology, demand that Earth stop using its electricity.But I figured she mostly stayed quiet because she didn't want Jacob to realize that Klaatu was the alien, which he eventually does anyway. I was thinking about this as well, she could've told Jacob something along the lines of "There's no reason to fight someone if they don't want to hurt you" or something.Why does Jacob, a child who constantly goes on about how the aliens should be wiped out because they might be a threat, draw nary a notice by his mother or Klaatu for what he's saying?.What's a biologist doing figuring out advanced relativistic physics equations?.But from those only observing from the afar, it was our aggression and selfish nature that defined us, and could no longer wait, action had to be taken. It was only those few (perhaps more than the one Chinese man) that chose to live among us who felt the depth and breadth of Human emotion. And as stated by him, they've been observing humanity's progress for a very long time watching and waiting for us to 'clear up our act'. Pretty much every space faring race (at least near enough to know of Earth's existence) is part of this collection of Civilisations that Klaatu refers to. This is pretty much explained in the movie.If inhabitable planets are so rare, wouldn't thousands if not millions of aliens be studying us around the clock for at least several years, not one advance scout for 40 years to be interviewed by one later scout for 5 minutes, who then unilaterally decides to destroy everything?.Alternatively, it could be programmed to eat all the biomass, then use most of that to restart the biosphere (presumably in a way that would allow eventually colonization but wouldn't lead to the native development of sentience. This may have consisted of eating all animals, all animals above a certain weight threshold, anything with a notocord, etc. Likewise, the swarm was most likely programmed to stop once it had eaten enough to to remove the danger to the ecosystem, but leave enough for the planet to regenerate eventually. However, he couldn't use such a signal to designate an otherwise unobstructed area as off-limits. That, combined with a signal such as "this area has already been cleaned" could have kept them away at least until they had finished eating everything else nearby. Klaatu's barricade may have been merely taking advantage of the swarm's behavior: they're programmed to eat easily accessible things before attempting to fly through small spaces to reach less accessible things.Why can Klaatu barricade off a small area from the nanobugs, but not create a safe zone around himself to approach the sphere? For that matter, if the aliens want life to survive on Earth, shouldn't they have an OFF SWITCH for the nanobugs? And so on.Which to be fair a cloud of nanobugs probably isn't but that's a completely diffrent issue. Why does Gort need to be intimidating I thought the point was to destroy humanity as quickly and painlessly as possible.He stays a giant robot most of the time because it's more impressive, then disassembles into the swarm when he doesn't need to be scary anymore. Gort's visor serves the same purpose as his robot form: intimidation. ![]()
