He did, but after 20 years, maybe they have resurrection tech now.

I think it was definitely implied that he died, but it's a movie so no body = still alive. They could say that after the "Is that glass bulletproof" scene he was just wounded.
Guessing that now, having been controlled by the alien directly he knows all their technology and is now a leading expert in it. With Goldblum...aaah, um...doing the rest of the work.
I also missed the part about it being 20 years later. . . isn't that like 2 years from now?! Niggahz we aint ready for this shyt!
I always assumed that they piggy-backed the signal-translation stuff the aliens were using and reverse-engineered a virus, or at least corrupted the data long enough so that it would translate to the alien ship as "lower your shields and shit".
I never thought of it as a conventional computer virus.
The problem is that there is no OS that is going to translate that in to any form of language we have here. Even if their transmissions were "clear text", you're not going to go through all of their code and find "shields up/down" in it and then turn the off. Don't get me wrong I love ID1 but come on... no way in hell is that going to work in any way shape or form.
They have nuke repelling shields. It's not hard to guess that it wouldn't take them long to hack our systems with theirs. The other way around though. Not going to happen. I'm just saying the code that they would have captured wouldn't have been enough.
Now if the ship that was at Area 51 had been on the entire time and they were able to figure out some of it systems off of that, then he built his virus from the information he gathered from that craft then it would have been believable. But just capturing random communication that consisted of a countdown isn't going to give you what you need.
Maybe they will use music to befuddle them and distract them while we mop up
human writes a computer virus overnight with captured alien craft to turn off the nuke-repelling shields of said craft and its motherships.
yes, that's totally where the suspension of disbelief falls apart.

Why do people want this? You're all the reason movies of this gen suck and very few new ideas get made.
I wanted this 15 years ago.
Am I the only one who liked Starship Troopers more than this thing (first one obv.)? Kinda wanna watch it again since I haven't seen it since I was a little kid (ST that is).
After the original ST, they all be came trash and those were done pretty close to the original. I don't mind taking the time wait for a decent script and waiting for technology to catch up to make a decent movie. What's the worst that can happen, we get a movie that we don't have to watch?
starship troopers the TV show was great.
Aside from both being sci-fi, I don't really see any reason to compare Starship Troopers and Independence Day. Troopers was a near-future alien war movie, ID was a "real-world" invasion movie.
