(Seriously, this is a spoiler of the ugly kind)
Friendly aliens visit earth by unknown reasons. Probably pure curiosity. They hurt no one and even tries to make friendly contact. They do not defend themselves when attacked and even administer a dose of medicine to a fatally sick boy. The humans kill the aliens and find their way back to religion. This is an Excellent movie that has a lot more to it than many viewers fail spotting. When you think of it, the most scary specie in this movie are the humans. Everybody who failed to realize this after viewing the movie could do the same mistakes when facing the same situation. In my eyes that is the real message this movie deliver. How fear, lack of knowledge/understanding and differences among people/aliens can too easy become war triggers and how it makes *us* the dangerous specie. The movie at least keep this issue open, and I'm sure this question is some of the major ideas the director have had in mind.
