The military was quick to mobilize because it gave them something to 
depict in the movie.  I thought there was some some audio component at 
the beginning of the movie that mentioned "Cloverfield", but I don't 
really remember what that was about.  The quirky thing about the movie 
is that there might have been enough in the movie to think there was a 
back story, but then again it might just have been an excuse to produce 
a cinematic rollercoaster ride.  I personally would like to have my cake 
and eat it too, but if they can do one or the other well that's about as 
much as you can hope for.
