Anyway, so these aliens decide to save the human species from extinction from an event they apparrently knew about fifty years in advance. If that was their intention and with that kind of advance notice, couldn't they have pushed something between the earth and the sun for the duration of the mega solar flare? Hell, perhaps they could have done something to the sun itself to either prevent the mega flare or even deflect it slighty so it would miss earth? I mean, they cared enough to send a whole fleet of ships to save a few humans. Why not do something to save them all?
And that brings up another point. What was the point of bringing only children? The aliens drop a couple eight year old kids off on some alien planet, plus a couple rabbits, and expect them to survive? The aliens knew enough of human culture to predict exactly where Nick Cage would be the day of the plane wreck, but they don't know that children need adult supervision? Why not send Nick along with the kids?
As the ship was lifting off, we saw all those other rocks and I suppose it's possible that some of them represented adults, but all evidence seems to point to only children receiving the call.
The only logical reason I could see for the alien's actions is that they saw potential in humans but didn't like us as we are. So they selected a bunch of kids with whatever qualities the aliens thought were important and transfered them to a new planet. Kind of a reset. Save the species, kill the culture. Remaking us in their image.
What do you think?
