One thing that isn't directly addressed in the movie (I don't think) that I read about the film before seeing it, was that the folks in the ship were not leaders - rather laborers - and I suppose they were waiting on a leader...which, I suppose, might have been the lead alien protagonist.
Also, I don't get the impression from the film, that the weapons they had were plentiful.
