Therefore, the whole movie loses its fright impact (That those are aliens, superior to us)
Besides, if they don,t have any cool new scary weapons, then that just makes the military's reaction that much more pathetic.
Bunch of cowards.
Are you serious? They were using better weapons than us, but they were still conventional weapons. If the military had to fight an enemy that used automatic rocketlauncers as their main weapon, the military would suffer high casualties. Once more, they had no clue how to kill the aliens. The military can be ineffective without being a "bunch of cowards". I don't know about Canada, but in the U.S. we respect our military for their bravery(of course there are still those who have an irrational hatred for the military), not for their effectiveness. We just also happen to have an effective military.
