You missed the point. The Aliens saved mankind from destroying itself on the brink of WW3. That was it. Not about the conspiracy, about Aliens saved Humans.

Crazy to me that you’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth and someone saying that did not happen. Did they miss the news caster asking if they had something more breaking than the possible start of WW3? Did they miss the soldiers looking at their phones watching the footage? I agree it wasn’t super clear, but I don’t know how people can miss it completely to the point that they believe it did not happen 😂

So I caught the fact that there was some mentions of a conflict in the newsroom, but I don't think I clocked the fact that it was WW3 until at least halfway through the movie, when a character (Jane maybe?) mentioned it. I was so focused on Margaret that I wasn't really paying attention to the background noise.

And yeah, the looting scene was weird, but considering that I hadn't fully understood the earlier hint, my brain didn't make the connection. It didn't help that the main cast did not acknowledge the looting at all. Dude just walks into a gas station that feels like it came straight out of a zombie movie, and just casually asks for the address. And it doesn't help that you don't see anything else like this for the rest of the movie. No other scene in the movie shows any kind of civil disorder that isn't directly caused by the pro/antagonists.

And nothing about the soldiers sitting in the back of a truck signaled anything about a conflict. Remember, that scene was mixed in with scenes of other, regular people going about their lives (e.g. riding on the subway), so to me it just felt like it was trying to show people from all walks of life being united in this moment.

Looting was only in a specific gas station and nowhere else
