Despite inneffectual, the movie is roughly 70% military. Almost everything happens from that point of view. The young son of a cientist becomes a soldier.
Yes, it us not like Transformers, but it does add to a common line of movies that paint the military as a necessary force that we need to nurture. It actually paints a more humane picture of the military, our last line if defense against the unknown evil. That comes in handy when people start questioning the motivation behind the last decade of interventions.
