    It's less sci-fi than it is Navy propaganda. Just like that other movie about the Marines or SEALS or whateverspecialforces that's coming out soon too.

    We have a chance as long as we can upload a virus to their mothership that disables their shields.

    we first have to pilot their 50 year old spacecraft out of our atmosphere and have it tractor beam us in, which our scientist of course expected. oops.

    Haha, that too but it wasn't the one I was thinking of. Act of Valor is the name. SEALs go in to rescue somebody terrorists have captive and one of the selling points is that the main actors are all active duty SEALs using real combat tactics or some shit.

    AMERICA, FUCK YA!

    There should be a sequel to Independence Day... dealing with the consequences of blowing up a moon-sized object in low orbit, and the fact that there's no way they defeated all the city destroyers/fighters, shields or not.

    and the fact that these 15 mile-wide ships came crashing down to earth on top of cities+fucking area 51...fucking, if it was about to fire the main laser at area 51, and theyre 15 miles in diameter, how in the hell are they able to get in and out of area 51 now, via that main elevator?!

    Probably the same way flat ground turns into a 50-foot sheer cliff after the large theropod escapes.

    New trailer


    Seems to be a few different plot points. I only care about the transformer-esque aliens. The obligatory love story looks like a copy of the one from Armageddon.
