Aug 22, 2009 - Probably most of the people here watched this movie as a kid, and to a kid, this was plenty real enough. It's okay if you don't like Emmerich's style, but this wasn't a "dumb" movie, even looking back now. Emmerich's movies also have a lot of character and humor which I guess people may not like in their apocalyptic disaster movies. If things were too realistic, massive destruction probably would just be grim and not that entertaining.

Sep 1, 2009 - If they wanted to exterminate us, it wouldn't necessarily mean they are bad. Perhaps we pose a threat to them, or we are simply in the way of a planet they want. Survival instinct is a powerful one. You can't call someone bad for wanting to survive.
EnigmaHood Says:
Sep 1, 2009 - There was a comicbook explaining the back story to this movie. But if you bothered to even watch the movie at all, you would know that the aliens knew about Earth since the 1950s.

Sep 1, 2009 - Deathray obviously. Or did you miss the green laser that destroyed entire cities?

Sep 2, 2009 - you can call them bad for blatantly disregarding the value of individual life. OK maybe not bad but deffinently stupid.
EnigmaHood Says:
Sep 2, 2009 - How is that bad or stupid? If it's in their best interest, then it is logical to do so. On the contrary it would be stupid to let a potential threat live. Humans do it all the time, humans have killed off most carnivorous predators in human populated areas. Other animals are killed for human consumption or to prevent them from eating livestock. Aliens may not have any reason for respecting life other than their own. Your morals and ethics are not universal constants that apply to all lifeforms.

Sep 5, 2009 - the only thing i thought was dumb about this film was the computer virus idea. There is no way that they could make a virus that would work on alien computer technologhy
getaboner Says:
Sep 5, 2009 - also why didnt the aliens fire their lasers from space that way nobody could fly their planes into their lasers like at the end you think they would take their own safety a bit more seriously

UFOsighter535 Says:
Sep 11, 2009 - maybe because the laser were short range lasers anyway he aliens weren't scared as long as they had their shields the only thing i thought was dumb was that they made a bomb that made that big of an explosion at the end also the thing was kinda like star wars 4
MrBlack1968 Says:

Oct 17, 2009 - During the making of this film the military agreed to provide anything the filmmakers needed, planes, helicopters, uniforms you name it., but only on one condition. Removal of Area 51 from the script. But since Area 51 is an important part of the story they didn't remove it. So the military withdrew its support. Neverthless it is a great movie. That's why I admire Roland Emmerich.

Oct 17, 2009 - How could that be so dumb an idea? Dave was able to decipher their "signal." A clear indication that they had some basis to understand their systems.
joachim2464 Says:
Oct 19, 2009 - yeah, so the alien used windows xp is that what yoiu are saying, because to create a virus you have to know the operating system in detail. And by the way, he did not decipher the signal. He just found out that the signal was recycling and gething weaker and that it was a countdown. So your statement is wrong

Nov 7, 2009 - XD I'd love to see the aliens using windows XP. *paper clip appears* I see you want to destroy the White house

bottle2lip Says:
Nov 19, 2009 - this movie pretty much ripped off V, but still its a good popcorn flick. 2012 was a let down though, not what i expected
anttiantti92 Says:
Nov 19, 2009 - The best movie about aliens attacking earth is Signs, after that War of the Worlds. This might be 3rd. Tho, I gotta admit, I haven't seen that many movies of that category.

Nov 22, 2009 - V? Dude, this was before V, (the shit version anyway)
