What Happens: The Cruiser’s mardy son abandons his father and sister during an apocalyptic invasion and joins the armed resistance against the aliens. Somehow, he doesn’t die, and is reunited with Tom at the end.

Why It’s Stupid: Because you’d have to have bits falling off your brain to plump for throwing rocks at indestructible death machines instead of running away really fast. And because how the hell did the kid not die in the scorched-Earth massacre Tom sees after he runs away, and then beat everyone back to Boston? Rocket boots?
