      Nah, then they'd simply take the precaution of installing antivirus software before attacking.
      Of course, they would need a compelling reason to bother attacking. Except for a living biosphere, there isn't a single natural resource on Earth that isn't FAR more abundant elsewhere in the solar system, and not locked up at the bottom of our comparatively deep gravity well.
      ID4 aliens in particular, who want natural resources, just cruised right past all those other planets & asteroids & comets, where they could have found enough material & fuel to build multiple Dyson Swarms or literally a billion copies of their mothership. One has to wonder why they would even bother exterminating organisms inhabiting an insignificant little planet to begin with, when they could have simply started harvesting the rest of the solar system with total impunity.

    Independence Day is one of my grandpa’s favorite movies. A couple of years ago (like 2010), I was at his house and it was on basic cable. He grabs the remote to turn up the volume and seriously asks me, “Have you ever seen this movie? Independence Day. It’s so good!” He passed at 104 years old like a few weeks ago. He was an ww2 veteran who fought in the battle for Hong Kong.

    Not only did they use huge miniature city models, they had to hang them UPSIDE DOWN so the rolling fireballs would hug the street and wrap around the buildings. Some very clever old-school techniques on display here.

      Same here. Went to see it with my parents on opening weekend. It was so much fun, and the sound was incredible. It had the entire building rumbling like nothing else I’d ever experienced before. Inspired my dad to go out and buy a home theatre surround system. 😂

    This is my brithday movie. Every 4th of July since seeing this movie July 3rd in 96. I was a wee lad of 8 years when it hit theaters, i'm 36 now. I don't think you can do better than this when it comes to a good 90s blockbuster. I really don't think any of the other big ones of the 90s, with this kind of scale, come even close. It's got everything. Great story, score, characters. It has romance, action, drama, a couple scares, great dialogue.... Popcorn, baby. This is what cinema should be. You leave the theater with a smile on your face.

    1. i grew up in roswell, nm, and the 50th-anniversary festival happened a year after this movie was released. it 100% fueled the CHAOS that hit our town for the ufo festival. we were a town of 50k, and we'd maybe had a few thousand visitors in prior years; 1997 was estimated to have 20k visitors, with 10-15k of those during the week of the festival.
    2. in the early 80s, there was a comet or meteor or something that was projected to hit earth in our general location at the time (mexico). when i asked my mom what she/dad/we did, she said dad was working, so she took me outside to watch. she said if we're gonna go, we're gonna go instantly and with a view.
    3. kristen, i have a crush on your laugh. :)

    Such a classic. There are so many lines from this that live entirely rent-free in my head. I also think the little girl actor knocked it out of the park in her delivery of 'is mommy sleeping now?' It always gets me.

And the very first time that I saw this movie Independence Day was in the summer of 1996 with my Mom, my Stepdad and my Grandmother. And I was only 19 years old at the time I saw this movie Independence Day..

    First time I saw this was in the theaters with a friend. That scene where Harry Connick, Jr.,, tells Will Smith that he'll never fly the space shuttle as long as he's married to a stripper, my friend leaned over to me and said, "When you're married to a stripper, you fly the space shuttle every night." That still cracks me up to this day.

      The US military (as a whole) has, at the time my writing this, never risen above DEFCON 3. Strategic Air Command (SAC) was briefly raised to DEFCON 2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but the rest of the military remained at DEFCON 3 during that incident.
      At DEFCON 3, the Air Force must be ready to mobilize in 15 minutes. At DEFCON 2, the entire Armed Forces must be ready to go to war within 6 hours. At DEFCON 1, nuclear war is imminent or has already begun, and the entire military must be ready for immediate response.

    Filming the speech scene was also weirdly synchronistic: It was shot in front of the hanger that once housed the Enola Gay, one of the bombers that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan on Aug. 6, 1945. The scene was filmed exactly 50 years later.
    "We will not go quietly into the night," seemed to be a reference to Dylan Thomas' classic poem "Do not go gentle into that good night". The poem was fully recited in Interstellar.

    I remember watching this in theatre when it came out (yes I'm old). At the time there were no better special effects and the, at this time relatively new THX, almost blew me out of my seat. Even if this is'nt the deepest movie with the best script, it will always be among my top 10, because it was such an intense audiovisual experience and also cool af. :)
    The Late 90s were a crazy good time for cinema.

    Your mentioning Earth uniting against an alien attack was explored in the early 60's in two outstanding Outer Limits episodes. The Architects of Fear (S1.E3) and Nightmare (S1.E10) featuring a very young Martin Sheen.

    • @scotthewitt258
      @scotthewitt258 3 місяці тому

      Architects of Fear was clearly an inspiration for the "threat" used to unite Earth in "Watchmen".
      The episode of"The Outer Limits " playing on Silk Spectre I's TV when Silk Spectre II and Nite Owl visit her at the end is Architects of Fear, as an homage.
