Now will somebody who isn't a braindead moron who can find out that words after full stops are meant to have a space in between them and finds out that MEL GIBSON was the lead please clean this article up and add some relevant information about the species instead of summing up the 3rd act of the plot and making the main characters seem like an army squad? Seriously, the Wikipedia article on the movie has more information on the species than this article does.
