The last 30 minutes is possibly the worst plot ever filmed.

Same here. I thought they did a good job of pulling off the reboot until they ended up on the aircraft carrier.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 3:50 pm I actually thought the film was fairly good from a nostalgia point of view but that last part- wtf?

The attack on the installation is a complete ripoff of the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars.

The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

I'll go to bat for Independence Day. Is it a "good" movie? No. But is it a fun movie? Fuck yes it is. I'm ready to smoke some fucking Xenos when Bill Pullman gives his go get em' speech

Yes. It's a really fun movie. Which is exactly what it was intended to be. Pure popcorn cinema.

But repeated viewing has made me realize how really lame it is.
And that Pullman speech has to be some of the worst scripting ever. It makes me cringe.

So wait, did that mean someone had to suicide themselves into each of the spaceship's ray beams?
(yeah, popcorn movie, not to be taken too seriously-you know, like wondering how the aliens got copies of Windows to run their computer systems so egghead computer geek can infect them?)

How about Jurassic Park, which holds up exceptionally well, aside from a child being able to hack into a Unix System to reboot the entire power/phone/security grid system?FSchmertz wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 4:56 pmSome things you don't really want to consider, like "tell them how to bring the sumzbitches down"!saltydog wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 3:20 pm"Welcome to Earf!"Geist wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 1:56 pmSpoken like someone who has never knocked out an alien through its exosuit with a single punch.FSchmertz wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 1:52 pmI kinda had fun the first time I saw it.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 2:25 amYes.
