The moral of Spielberg's movie is "A man must do what he can to protect his family, even if he's divorced and his ex-wife, whom he still loves, is glowingly pregnant with her new hubsband's child." But no. A man need not kill another man so that his daughter can get a good night's sleep. Even if the other man is nutty. No.
The movie is a mess. Three three-legged aliens visit a basement safehouse where Spielberg's protagonist watches as they drink water and look at old photos. This is pure hokum, as is most of the movie, especially Morgan Freeman's sententious voice-over and the movie's stupid ending.
