If humans were to "invade" Jupiter, we would need to mitigate the risk against poisonous gasses and deadly temperatures, but that wouldn't stop us from trying.

Oh, and I should also mention that the actual final ending to the movie, IMO was totally awesome. Assuming everyone's already seen it (*** SPOILERS ***) -- the fact that the aliens had already "won," that the now-faithless father, still reeling from losing his wife, was about to lose his child, and that the the boy's weakness, his asthma, actually saved him -- a coincidence too perfect not be divinely designed -- giving the father back his faith... Beautiful.

Blasphemy. :)

I'm glad someone agrees with me. It seems like everyone just likes to trash the movie because of the water thing. I love that movie and i actually really like the water weakness and don't see it as a flaw. I also loved the asthma part. That with the water and the brother's circumstances all coming together to save them to me was an amazing ending.
