Well Done Film School Preaching
VIrtue signaling, again. What is it with the British need to preach? Funded by oligarchs in government? The surprise, that the alien forces were here to help was nice, but then the preaching started. Good thing the aliens saved us and gave us a bonus because idiot humans will ruin earth. Yadda Yadda. You can turn it off after the meteor shower, was inexplicable so never explained. I thought the aliens caused it. There was an attempt at a story and it may please many, but it was actually a faux documentary that skipped right through focal matters. I love the part where the elite glibly tell us they lied to humans to cover up what, I guess, we couldn't handle. Then, lied to families of astronauts by telling the families the person was dead. This acceptance of "squealor" from ANimal Farm is another premise often posited in British films. It is ok to con the people, have MI5 destroy a politician for the greater good. Etc. Oceania and all that.
