Screw it that's enough room. Ok true believers here is the low down of
massive coolness. The film begins with a 15 mile wide atmospheric
phenomenon that seems to be a force of nature descending upon our little
mudhole we calll earth. It then causes the sky to be like all aflame.
It then concentrates on three major population centers. NY DC LA. This
ain't no "aliens in our neighbors " crap (I Love Invasion of the Body
Snatchers, but I want this) this is they are here, they don't give a crap
if we know it, and what do we puny mortals think we can do about it cause
they gonna mop the floor with our human asses. This is all paraphrased
from Dean Devlin, one of the writers and producers of Stargate, and now
INDEPENDENCE DAY. Now to tell the story from Jeff Goldblum, as told to
CINESCAPE. He plays a computer know-it-all that catches on to the way
things be with the aliens. "I intuit, in fact, that it's a countdown
signal that's reducing itself every time it recycles," Goldblum says.
"Eventually it's going to disappear, at which poit they're going to
attack. I then rush heroically--and romantically--to get my former wife,
Constance, who I'm still very much in love with, in Washington, where she
works as the President's communication director. The aliens are
stationed over Washington, Los Angeles and New York--those bastards!--
and they're going to decimate all (those cities). Constance alerts the
President and we all go up in Air Force One just before the capital is
destroyed."
Then once safely on A.F.1, Goldblum's character finds out they are
on their way to the Area 51 super secret military covert everything base
in the Nevada Desert. The film hypotheses that the key to defeating the
alien enemy is a extraterrestrial ship that was recovered nearly intact
from a crash site in Roswell, N.M. in 1947. His character then devises
a technological weapon against the aliens that is reminiscent of the
biological ammunition used in H G Wells' War of the Worlds, and it is
deployed with assistance from both the military and civilian sectors.
I have much more info, if interested post responses and I will
deliver or go straight to the source at your book store Magazine called
CINESCAPE it has Alien (giger one) on the cover.
