the fact is they called the movie Signs and foregrounded the crop circles
if this was irrelevant then why involve the crop circles at all

i would actually find it stupid if the aliens turned out to be all intellectual and militaristic but needed to leave signs in fucking crop fields

the film is like a short story, not a novel. the ideas about the aliens simply 'work' on a vague level
they are not explored in detail, as it's not that sort of sci-fi like you say
