It's based on the novel, "Story of your Life," be Ted Chiang. A Sci Fi thriller that this movie follows.

As to the J-20s on a US LHD...yep!

View attachment 30743

Looks like J-20s in the middle, and some SU-34s forward too, as well as usual US helos. That's one of the Alien ships in the background.
One wonders how those were supposed gotten there. No way they could have landed on a LHD At least not conventionally. If we are talking about an Alien Craft then Conventional need not apply.

one of those 'monoliths' landed in East China Sea. The women thinks the aliens want mankind to join hands... what better region to birth world peace?

Well guys, Today is the Offical 50th Anniversary of Star Trek staring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, James Doohan, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Deforest Kelly, Walter Keonig, Grace Lee Whitney And Majel Barrett Roddenberry.
The First Episode Aired was actually the fifth Episode "The Man Trap"

I celebrated by watching Star Trek Beyond on Monday. I like it a lot, back to the exploring and thinking instead of war (like Star Wars) all the time. I also love how the Yorktown space station looks.:D

I am watching the BBC Marathon and last night I watched ST:Beyond .
Yorktown was a Neat bit of big scifi. It loosely resembled a Bernal sphere.

Yep, only difference is Bernal Sphere city structures are more on the inside walls of a cylinder for better artificial gravity through centripetal force by spinning. The unique thing about the Yorktown (or "snow globe" according to Dr. McCoy comment) is that the city structures are in every direction with the artificial gravity force in the center outward direction. If I have the choice to choose to live in one or the other I would choose the Yorktown. It looks so pretty to see other downtown buildings at night or anytime from upside down kind of way.:D
