Plot hole: The Tomahawk Cruise Missiles the Arleigh-Burke Class destroyers carry have a range of approximately 1500km. As soon as Alex got the message from Sam, they could have blown that Saddle Ridge communications facility to kingdom come with just a few cruise missiles. They didn't need to get in range because the entire dome surrounding the Hawaiian Islands was smaller in diameter than the range of the Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. Cruise missiles have internal guidance, so they wouldn't rely on the radar, which was jammed.

Other mistake: When Alex Hopper is being tasered and arrested for robbing the convenience store, you can see his shirt is almost clean on his back. But he fell on the bottles and sodas rack in the store, the shirt should have stains.
Alex Hopper: We only have one round left?
Captain Yugi Nagata: Correct.
Alex Hopper: It was an honor to serve with you, Captain.
Captain Yugi Nagata: The honor was mine.
Trivia: The missiles fired by the alien ships are the same shape as the pegs in the board game.
Question: Are there any battleships still in service within the U. S. Navy, or have they all been scrapped or turned into floating museums?
