Damn, I have a tee time at Pebble Beach that day!
Just change it to Spyglass while there’s still time.
What I’ve come to expect from Hollywood in the epics is a parody of their own self-loating writ gallactically large.
We're like life in a pond wondering if there is life outside of the pond. While life outside of the pond goes about its thing paying us no mind because... we're pond scum.
Any Alien that visits our pond is probably a juvenile looking for tadpoles to let grow and pull the legs off. Or looking for ants to fry with a magnifying glass.
To us, outside life would be fascinating. To outside life, we are dull and boring and not noticed. Just like we find all kinds of things on this ball of mud dull and boring and don't notice them.
Of course, if this planet has resources they want/need, then our sentience matters not. We're just so much cattle to be swept aside. Sucks, but, C'est La Vie.
Aliens like beer.
We’re safe.
the remake stunk
Yes and no... I wouldn’t blame aliens for wanting to destroy us one bit, but the reason I believe that is not because we’re doing something horrible to the environment or whatever, but because some alien accidentally picked up on an MTV/VH1 program, and decided we MUST be destroyed before we could contaminate their culture with things like Britney-Lindsay-Paris or reality TV...

I saw “Independence Day” great movie ....
including a great performance by Jaden Smith in the role of the petulant stepson.
I thought the kid needed a boot in the a**. He was really annoying.
