1. When you realize that a helicopter in front of you is bulletproof - keep firing your weapon anyway - it just wouldn't make sense to save the ammo for when you stop for the seekers.
2. When stopping for seekers who pose absolutely no physical threat whatsoever, drive head first into a wall instead waiting for nearby (armed) friends to help.
Your no 1 won't work, because they might've been in panic of getting captured and betraying so many others and the shelter which it could've taken years to create; same with number 2 - and the aliens were *peaceful* and could probably incapacitate them as soon as they approached; it wasn't a bad movie, only for girls. I'm a guy and I liked it, btw.
99% of new films are garbage
BUT REALLY?....and whats with the aliens from planet CHANEL and there cosmetic spray weapons, with there silver alien vehicles and their inability to access all the spy satellites to hunt the humans
enjoy whatever you wish
but this posting i believe is more inclined towards people who enjoyed it in a reverse fashion SENSE
nothing personal
to each their own
viva la pants
3. When hunting people who don't want to be found, it's a good idea for the hunters to wear bright white clothing and drive mirrored cars to stay inconspicuous from their quarry.
share4. Women that have been taken over by the aliens are still vain enough to wear 4-inch high heeled shoes to appear taller.
share5. Colored contacts don't exist in their universe
6. Black actors' eyes get bloodshot IRL when they have to wear colored contacts for a film role.
7. It's super easy to remember the outline of a bunch of rocks in perfect detail and sketch them on a sheet of paper flawlessly.
8. Jeremy Irons' wife was cheating on him with Tom Berenger.
9. There are thousands of stars in a constellation (girl is looking at the entire wall and says "i dont recognize this constellation")
10. If someone walks in on you while you're cutting grass in a field, stand straight, stare at them like a zombie, and move as little as possible.
11. If you're trying to sneak up on someone so you can kill them, make sure to shout their name (Wanda...waaaanda....waaaaaanda)
12. It's okay to possess someone's body and be around her loved ones who know you're possessing her. Just make sure you act really robotic and spaced out and they'll grow to love you too.
13. Oh no, we need medicine to help heal my brother! That's okay, we can just go to the hospital and... get some? There will be absolutely no conflict or tension at all and it'll make our movie 10 minutes longer.
14. Emily Browning is apparently the hottest girl they could find to give that alien a body.
Seriously, that blonde dude could have picked literally any physical manifestation for the love of his life, and he picks her?!?!

Hahahah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the Tom Berenger resemblance.

This makes no sense...yes, Wanda can just go take them...she's one of them. Their kind isn't suspicious because they are truthful beings and would never even think to doubt anyone coming in to the hospital or hesitate to leave someone alone by a cabinet of medicine.

Not sure why you're replying to me, maybe you didn't understand my reply to the other guy but I read the book twice, I know this.
shareIt really didn't mention it in the movie but their eyes actually glows, so wearing contacts wouldn't help much if you happen to walk into a shadow or building.
Ooo, a sig! Um... Um... Squirrel nipples! :)
You're a cheeky man aren't you:) u made my day.
sharein regards to #14
He did not "pick" the body. They put her in a body that was dying that just happened to be a young lady.
I think it would have been more interesting if it was a big burly dude. haha!
4. Women that have been taken over by the aliens are still vain enough to wear 4-inch high heeled shoes to appear taller. Even in the desert..

Good point. I really hated that part. It is a good example of a screen writer or director adding a new thread to a story that was not even implied by the book which betrays Hollywood love of violence and shoot-em up mentality. I've rarely seen a screen writer's insert of a plot deviation improve the story but I've often see that destroy its constancy. It is a symptom of Hollywood's tendancy to make everything a clone of every other thing Hollywood does. I'm so glad that they didn't do worse on this movie than that.
A minor correction, the seekers did pose a very real physical threat. How do you think they took over the world? As you saw in the opening scene, they spray the person they wish to stop with a vial called sleep which is faster and more effective that chloroform. THEN they cut a opening in their neck and insert a soul just as we saw them do with Melanie.
Someone defined insanity as trying the same thing that just failed and expecting a different result. This is why in the book, everyone who risked themselves near seekers, carried a cynanide capsule to commit suicide rather than be captured.
1. Wearing sunglasses at night is a great way to convince Souls that you aren't human.
2. A supposedly 20 year-old woman will act like a bitchy 14 year-old if she has to share her mind with an alien.
3. Firearms are in such short supply in America that human rebels have to go around with machetes and hatchets instead of guns.
4. One eccentric farmer can turn a large cave complex into a facility that NORAD would probably envy.

hahaha, funny!!! hilarious in fact
:)
Can somehow get into the human body....Seriously, did anyone ever thought about how the first alien "cut their way" into the back of the neck of a human as a "catepillar"? How did the first alien take over the human body.

21. Is still in love with her ex boyfriend, after he'd nearly beaten her to death after her appearance in the cave.
22. The seakers letting the second van drive away, because with two overly shining (whats up with shining things and Meyer anyways?) cars they werent able to catch them.
To get back at n. 22. I am really annoyed why they let the two of them drive off.. It didnt make sense at all. The 'this war is pointless and theyll starve anyway' sounded pointless, while their overall motto was to inhabite ALL humans left alive.
So they might as well stop their shiny ass parade anyway.
Also good point btw about their white clothing.
nostalgic value.. and all that
They were just trying to distinguish the rebellion. The aliens no longer took over adult bodies because they were to hard to control.
share15. If you are an alien species that murders humans on a regular basis by taking over their minds, and if a mind can't be controlled, kills the human body "humanly", then it's perfectly okay to be beyond incredulous that humans might kill one or two of your species. And the humans should act all ashamed of this too.
16. Inhabiting the body of a host means you will have a perfect midwestern accent, while the mind struggling against you will still retain their southern (I guess?) accent.
17. An alien being that has been driven to murderous, vengeful rage needs to be extracted from its host with tender loving care.
18. The aforementioned alien, who has made it clear she won't give up the pursuit of rebels who will most likely die anyways, will unquestioningly release her host when presented with the loving hand of the prime focus of her insane rage.
19. Punching the crap out of your girlfriend will only make her pine after you more.
20. Kissing your girlfriend will make her punch you.
21. Aliens who have every reason to believe there are rebels/traitors in the area, will in no way amp up security, and only notice you if you go too fast in a car.
22. Aliens who are kind, gentle, honest and need to be delicately inserted into their host with tender loving care can easily overtake an entire planet of suspicious, aggressive, manipulative and averagely observant humans who are about 80+% bigger and have considerably more body mass.
Platonic love exists: scientists stumped.
