t's sort of left ambigious as to whether that asteroid (not a nuclear bomb) actually came from the bugs or not (oh, and it was the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina). As the intro sequence shows a defence network capable of destroying asteroids easily, it adds to the ambiguity. (bearing in mind that little propaganda bit of the intro is set quite soon after the destruction of Buenos Aires, it's unlikely to be a new defensive grid).

The movie was kind of a "documentary" is some respects, hence the "would yo ulike to know more" statements all over the place.

The beginning of the movie was showing how they were already well within the war and had defenses swet up for the asteroid attacks. Then we see how it started through the eyes of the main characters.

That's why they show a handy-cam version of the first (failed assault) in the beginning (where Reiko got stabbed in the leg) and then later you see them actually fighting it.

Then at the end, you're seeing it from the perspective of the viewer again, watcihng a glorified documentary / commercial.
