No kidding. Courtesy of io9, watch Battleship director Peter Berg and star Brooklyn Decker at the recent WonderCon discuss how their new film helped refine the Navy’s thinking about how to cope with a potential alien attack.
It’s great when Hollywood can pitch in like this.

Based on historical precedent, I would expect fighting aliens with more advanced technology would go something like this:
1. All anti-alien forces are sunk/destroyed within a few days/weeks.
2. World surrender to the “barbarians”.
Of course, blockbuster movie aliens are invariably dorks who make colossally stupid mistakes – e.g. forgetting to vaccinate their troops or computers against viruses.
