Excuse me but did the Military officer for that crappy operation remember that shuttles can reach speed to escape atmosphere and must have the structural integrity to withstand atmospheric reentry. Wanna see a stupid semiintelliugent bird catch a shuttle at Mach 4 that drops bombs (makeshift or not give them a detonator for airburst). And on the question raised how will Earth respond. Well if i would lead a corporation that can "buy" military power. Id set lots of napalm to the planet everywhere id be working. Woods burn great once you put a firestorm in place. Dresden and both nukes during WW2 proved the working principle. A planet consiting of huge amounts of forest is perfect for that. But yeah apparently there are nice people on Earth too, that might be against such a scorched planet tactic. And using a shuttle to do a low pass do drop makeshift bombs?

Floating mountains. Des ex machina mentioned, and at least they stayed away from technobabble, or i might have realized the stupidity during the movie instead of afterwards. Radio not working. Yes i love the fact that Humanity in the future forgot that Laser guided missiles exist. And radiowaves are also just part of the electromagnetic spectrum just like visible light. yay.

The immersion was just great enough that I was completely drawn into the scene and not thinking about what would obviously come next. I can't recall noticing the particulars of each shot and cut either (Sometimes movies that should be good are ruined for me because I'm just watching the camera movements and the editing instead of watching the film). I also saw Avatar in Imax 3D. Holy crap. I'll never be able to watch this film in 2D or on a smaller screen.

Only the original trilogy can truly be considered if you want to maintain your scifi sanity. I second that.
