When the alien ship was destroyed at the end of Independence Day, why didn't it just fall on top of Area 51 since it was hovering directly above it/
deus ex machina
it wasnt
the ayyfighters flew from the ship to attack the base
That's like asking why a frisbee doesn't just drop straight down after you throw it.
>>67148024
it was, it was about to fire its primary weapon.
also for whatever reason when the ship blew up and went down it didn't just fall straight down, it went down sideways and cleared area 51. every ship seemingly did this cause in the montage at the end all the spaceships were slightly clear of the cities.
i guess it was just to save time in the movie instead of a subplot where they have to get dug out.
>>67147986
>I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!
What did he mean by this?
>>67148085
did it? i cant remember clearly
i know the IM BAAACK one was over the city
....right?
god, i need to see it again
Maybe they're like giant frisbees that glide towards the side they're tilting to.
>>67148135
the IM BAAAAAACK one was over area 51
it was about to fire its weapon when the dude flew the plane into the laser
the better question is did every other spaceship get taken down? there were 3 in the US alone right? did the US airforce have difficulty with the split? if there is a worldwide countdown and they fire their weapons at the same time then why would sending morse code help? or was that just at the start of the movie so the humans were completely surprised?
Did the surviving ayys still fight or were they just chilling in their crashed ships
>>67148292
Resurgence says they were still fighting even after their defeat on the ground, and when the UN said "hey African nation, needs some help moping them up?" they said "FUCK OFF WHITEY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
because this was a shit film
>>67148326
Because they made a deal with the ayys
>>67148181
did the aliens just throw a ginormous frisbee at us? what am i a dog?
>>67147986
the wind carried them off a few miles once the thrusters went out
>>67148379
i wish
dogs are awesome
>>67148005
i wish this phrase would be erased from existance
>>67148085
The one near area 51 wasnt going to fire its weapon, it was getting into position, you're thinking about the one over cheyenne mountain where the alien body was currently being kept. Area 51 is where they launched will smoth and geff goldblum from
>>67148497
that was all the same facility
>>67148379
10/10
>>67148546
Nope.
Area 51 was where they HAD been kept, they got moved to cheyenne mountain after area 51 had done its thing.
Area 51 is in Nevada.

Why would it fall straight down vertically?
Because the movie was poorly written.
>>67147986
ACK!!! AAAAAAAACK!!! AAACK!!
>>67148631
because it's heavy
>>67148946
Do planes fall out of the sky virtually if they break down?
>>67149005
Planes fly, the alien ship hovers
friction
there would be enough drag on something that large that it wouldn't simply drop out of the sky
>>67149041
>alien ship hovers
Then what's the problem? I mean clearly them having the ability to hover is pretty important so I imagine it's something that would be the last to fail.
>>67148005
We're talking about Independence Day not your robot movie faggit
>>67149005
Actually...
>>67149098
I've never known anybody to use the dark knight rises to prove a point before
>>67149160
It is truly the scene that keeps on giving.
>>67149244
just like ur mum
>>67149444
rude
>>67147986
omg dat exhaust shaft
thats one sexy pooper
Why didn't the aliens just Allahu Akbar their mothership into Earth?
>>67149587
This
>all the air underneath the ship
>why dint it fall dwn straight guise
>>67149587
Because in the original film the mothership was supposed to be their entire civilization until the director wanted more money and wrote a sequel where it wasn't.
>>67148631
>Cuts to black woman. Cuts to crazy liberal white woman. Kaboom. So satisfying.
I hope they recreate this scene in the sequel with black lives matter protestors
>>67149727
>written and directed by a gay German
The world is strange
>>67149724
Why would they attack directly with their capital
are they retarded or something
>>67149587
resource management
>>67149818
>their entire civilization
>>67149818
They didn't, that's why they left the mothership in orbit, they just somehow forgot about the 50 year old random fighter craft that just somehow happened to end up on earth.
>>67149895
>>67149895
it was a test to check the crash safety features

Is this movie good?
Webm looks good, especially since google says this movie is from 90s, but reviews are kinda mediocre.
What can /tv/ tell me about this movie?
>>67150027
Kluborg and Mrzlek got drunk one night and went on a joy ride.
>>67150751
Is it even possible to not have seen Independence Day? How old are you kid?
Anyway, if you're not trolling me then it's a typical summer blockbuster popcorn flick, it has every stereotype and cliche under the sun but I've always thought it was entertaining.
>>67150304
You could list a wall of "plot holes" about human civilization in general. We do some pretty stupid shit
>>67150912
I'm 23, but desu I started watching lots of movies recently.
For example, I really liked Matrix, but found out there were sequels few weeks ago when they were streamed on brettygood or some other shitty /tv/ stream.
I've been living under the rock for quite some time.
>>67148576
wut
It was all the same building, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>67148631
ship = refugees of the peaceful religion
people = welcoming swj
>>67151488
Disturbingly accurate.
>>67150304
>has to charge up a laser to blow up fucking BUILDINGS
Because energy and thermodinamics or some shit like that
>can't lasersnipe airforce base from space
lasers don't work in space
>can't develop shields to repel ballistic matter yet can develop anti-gravity
but they did have shields, did you even watch the movie?
>can't make peaceful interactions with a Type 0 civilization despite being aware of their existence for X time and the fact that it is objectively more favorable for both species
Everytime a slightly more advanced civilization encountered another less civilized the result was domination by the most civilized one
>ships explode as if they contain combustible fuel - for a space faring civilization
shit burns
>cockpit still has buttons and no AI
it's 2016 and we still not have a true hoverboard
>>67150304
Are you a paid shill to increase hype and thread activity by chance?
>>67151734
shills can't get dubs tho
