I think it’s fair to say alien carrying debris almost certainly landed on larger islands. Smaller ones, are probably not.

5 - It made no sense that they didn't have at least the slightest sense of smell or were otherwise incapable of detecting their prey when they were five feet away.

I don’t think we know. Maybe there are other factors. Maybe they can smell, just very badly. Dogs have pretty good senses of smell and I play hide the treat games with my dog to where she may be sitting on a treat practically and not realize it.

4 - If the idiots on the ground figured out they were drawn to noise, surely the military would have figured out that all you need to do is drop a boombox in an open area and have a couple C-130 gunships eradicate the entire problem.

They probably did do that to a certain extent. However they probably had other factors of consideration. Lots of civilians in the area, lots of unknown factors, etc. I’m sure they did do what you suggested but that’s not the focus of the movie. Hell, 90% of the aliens could have been killed by the second half of the movie and what’s left is stragglers.

3 - The scene where the military flew overhead and said hey everyone go to this spot, then everyone joined together in one mass slow shuffle quietly. The frick? Clearly they had figured out they were attracted to noise as no one was talking, but they thought it made sense to walk in one massive group across a field of debris?

Think this is more like there’s so many footsteps it has the same affect as running water to aliens and they tune it lit. They’re looking for distinguishable sounds

2 - It made no sense that they weren't distracted by the own noise they make. Ostensibly these things would be running in circles responding to the noises they all make themselves across Manhattan

Agree

It’s been almost a year since I’ve seen it. Your probably right

Doesn't matter how hard their shells are, their innards would be liquid impacting at that speed. Seatbelts save you by causing you to deaccellerate slower (relatively) than impact.

Yeah. Man I hate sloppy writing that completely negates every part of a movie.

It worked better in the first two because of how isolated and quiet the world was that the characters lived in.

There was an island in part 2 that was seemingly not effected until one stowed away on a boat, so I’m guessing this would be correct.

You spent to much time writing up that synopsis on that sorry arse movie. And I paid for that in the theatre.
