      Smart Character 1: “This waterfall provides fresh water for drinking and farming, a plentiful source of energy, ideal fishing grounds, and camouflages us from the predators senses such that we can talk and act freely.” Smart Character 2: “We must not live here.” Smart Character 1: “Of course not.”

    Oh your stomach grumbled from being hungry

    Too bad, you’re dead

    Also is their hearing had enough that they don’t hear people breathing

    My biggest gripe with the movie is that these aliens are highly specialized to hear things, but supposedly they can’t hear your loud ass heartbeat from a few meters away, that’s kinda stupid.

      Yeah, and the waterfall blocked their hearing entirely. Might be a good idea to go live there, even. Especially if you’re, y’know, pregnant.

      And some random guy in his house discovers the sound that messes them up. Apparently the military failed to try playing loud sounds at aliens with super sensitive hearing. Just never occurred to them to try that I guess.

      Annddd, if their hearing is that crazy sensitive, they’d be jumping at every random raccoon fart and bird dropping. There’s no way they could pick humans out over any distance. Sound is just a pressure wave through a medium, and doesn’t actually get that far with an appreciable amount of energy left over. These things would have to be everywhere to be such a threat, yet you hardly see any in the movie.

      Maybe entertaining, but it holds up to precisely zero scrutiny.

      They’re also pretty loud themselves but somehow don’t alarm all the others when they crash through a window or something. These movies are highly illogical if you think about them for more than five minutes.
