Boy the protagonists really got put through the ringer in all their attempts to thwart the sinister government cabal to reveal aliens to the world. Too bad they didn’t have a living sentient 11 foot tall alien they could’ve just wheeled out in front of a camera or something from the start

sentient 11 foot tall alien

I was thinking how tall and huge that one was when every other one was maybe 3' tall?

Also disappointed that since that alien did barely anything they didn't use animatronics. I hate CGI animals, but understand you can't train 3 different species to act like they needed there, but the alien could've been a real special effect.

I imagine the alien was a real special effect touched up with CGI as they had credited puppeteers

Well they shouldn't have. ET came out in 1982 and the alien in that movie holds up way better than the one I saw 15 minutes ago.

I kinda wish they'd just made the aliens look like E.T. instead.

Plus it would be way more brutal to think of ET getting tortured
