So, I have to ask what the "completely new type" of weapon that the NOT CHINESE North Koreans were able to develop that lets them successfully invade? The country has electricity in about a 10 block radius, it's version of NASA is literally a card table with a PC on it, and their citizenry knaws on pine bark to stave of starvation. I just really want to know what sort of macguffin allows this plot to happen.

Looked like it was a briefcase sized EMP or something similar, from the trailer I saw. Maybe it was supposed to be a Goldeneye style satellite system, which might be even sillier.

Actually, from the bits of the movie i have seen while doing theatre checks, it is WAY worse.
The Briefcase is nothing more then a secure communication system, which they use to keep in touch with other groups of invaders. Their "weapon" was nothing more then a massive EMP pulse that appearently took out all the US Military hardware. The Macguffin seems to be that the Russians are backing them, which is where they managed to get huge quantities of weapons and equipment.

Man, I had no idea EMP pulses could kill all of our soldiers.

Well of course it would! 1) Obesity epidemic means more heart attacks and soldiers with pace makers! 2) The heart DOES run on electrical impulses after all, so the EMP was strong enough to disrupt the healthy soldiers hearts, too!

Now I have an image of a plucky Korean pilot who gets a lucky shot on an American aircraft carrier and knocks out a big, comical sattelite TV dish, and without The Kardashians, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, the American military winds down like the battle droids in Phantom Menace.

Solely responsible for the thread on "The Condom Wall."

Americans being unable to fight without their electronic gadgets sounds about right.
Got told stories about Apache pilots that landed to refuel in Hörsching on transit flights (think during Yugoslavia crisis) that marked their position on GPS to find back from the mess hall to the hangar.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Tempted to take the nag screens advice and start a new topic, but doubt this really rates one: Just watched a much better Red Dawn remake. Tomorrow, When The War Began. Australian movie, very obviously Red Dawn with Aussie accents. Invaders are generic Asian with no specifics.
