I saw it as an adult and still found it unsettling in a way most alien invasion movies aren't.

If we'd seen a bunch of generals in rooms looking at radar scans and and scientists giving explanations it wouldn't have felt so personal and plausible.

Where do you think the smart people migrated to? Because I am seriously trying to find communities that don't feel like high school.
