Not happy

I'm not a director so I won't discredit the director. I'm not an actor so I won't do that either. But I am a story teller so I will give my opinion of this movie from a stories point of view.
Overall i'm not happy with the movie. I had high hopes for it since it has two great people in film in the movie and a few up and coming actors. But I was hoping for a great story about how aliens try to rid the earth from humans and fail. I'm not happy that as a race that seems to have survived this planet and it's challenges let alone our own it's not us that save the day.
Would we do the same thing Ray does in the film, you bet your hiney we would. You better, i'm a single father of a 5 year old and I would do everything in my power to save him. My situation is different from Rays however.
I'm not going to get into the the flaws of EMP and the things that work. Or how his car survives and the road laid out for him to travel in. That is something we all got annoyed with anyway. I was most disappointed that we still failed as the human race and something way smaller was the hero, does that tell us who is really in charge here? Could this film and story be the foreshadowing of our own doom? But there must be more to the movie that i'm not seeing. The director and writer must have something else for us to see, and i'm not smart enough to see it. I hope there is something else to see, i'd prefer to be smarter than that.
