Posted at December 31, 1969, 6:00 pm: Signs is fantastic. Getting hung up on the logistics of the aliens' biology completely misses the point, which is the family. As I've often said, thinking that Signs is about aliens is like thinking The Lord of the Rings is about jewelry I said as much in this post from 2003. Here's a quote Quote: Why didn't the Predator just blow up Ah-nuld with his spaceship? Because he came to hunt. Why didn't we just carpet-bomb Iraq? Because we have specific objectives there which call for precision. It's no stretch whatsoever to suggest that maybe these aliens had similar circumstances to contend with Throw in the fact that the Klingons would probably invade the same way, and you've got yourself not only a potential explanation, but cinematic alien precedent. The bottom line is that we're simply not given all the explanations, but it's enough to know that plausible explanations exist. The film, however, does not exist to sketch out the methods and attributes of an alien race. It exists to tell a story about a man and his family. And it does, with considerable skill.
