1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Considering this is meant to be a homage to ''War Of The Worlds'' and the aliens idea of first contact was ''planetary bombardment'', it's not a stretch to imagine that the "peaceful" aliens weren't so peaceful after all.
2* NightmareFuel:
3** The entire damn thing qualifies as such, but especially the ending [[spoiler: in which it shows all of humanity's attempts at saving itself have been in vain.]]
4** That the aliens abduct an entire town in Wyoming, and we never find out why, or the fates of all who were taken.
5** The fact that even if [[spoiler: humanity had saved itself in the end, and the aliens backed off, there's still a massive amount of casualties, and catastrophic damage done to the world that will only result in more.]]
6* SignatureScene: The ending shot [[spoiler: when the reporter stops mid-sentence and stares in utter horror along with the rest of crew as instead of humanity saving itself from annihilation it's now completely doomed itself as hundreds, and hundreds of new meteors are now hurdling towards the Earth.]]
7* ViewerNameConfusion: Two news anchors [[AsHimself playing themselves]] are both called "Sandy" - Sander Vanocur (informally called "Sandy" by others in this movie as he was in real life) and Sandy Hill.
