Can you call them plot holes if the holes are much bigger and more substantial than the threadbare fabric of the movie? Starts off well enough at a 6 or maybe even a 7 in terms of popcorn fight-the-aliens fare. You can suspend your disbelief and not question the tactical errors too much. Fine summer fare so far. But then, however, absolutely all common sense is thrown out the window with the return from the future. Absolutely nothing in the second part follows any kind of logic. This is to the extent that it rips you jarringly from the fantasy of the movie over and over again. Without spoiling anything, I will say there is a simple and clear path to victory over the threat, and absolutely no one acts on it. This would have been better if they threw in another action battle scene or 2 early on, and ended it with the return from the future, with the obvious solution immediately acted upon. But instead you get just a big mess of unnecessary stupidity to finish up the movie. The people who made this just didn't care. There is no other explanation. It wouldn't have been hard to make it make some sense. They just didn't.
