(if that's what those loudly heralded flares were supposed to be) behaved like particularly dumb fighter jocks. CE3K is a film for the completely credulous, which is why the parody ("Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind") is so funny. Someone who sat with me at the premier said their total impression of the mother ship was "It comes up and it's bigger than the mountain; it lands and it's smaller." (For a well-written criticism of CE3K, try Asimov's column.)
