Memorized and recited this speech for high school public speaking class. Got an A and the support of my class mates in case of alien invasion.double score

More trivia: “and what the hell is that smell??!” was probably due to the smell of rotting shrimp from the location where they were filming.

I thought Cody Rhodes gave this speech first.

@@f.g.5967 Another fun fact: Will Smith wasn't supposed to punch that alien, he just thought the alien had made a comment about Jada Pinkett-Smith's hair.

Well if the aliens did run Windows their spaceships would be so riddled with bugs they'd never have gotten off their home planet. Anyway, I don't think his choice of OS matters, he's just using a software-defined radio to send whatever signals he wants, any Earth computer could do that. The only part of the hacking the alien technology that is implausible is the speed of finding the vulnerabilities and writing exploits for them, but to be fair the Area 51 scientists had been studying the spacecraft for decades. Maybe they figured out a fair bit about the systems already and were able to help him write the code.

The aliens had figured that part out!

Well, the aliens managed to interface with the satellites from earth, so it's not that farfetched that someone could use that to reverse engineer a way to hack that interface, though I'd guess it would take much longer than one night. and of course that doesn't mean it'd do damage to the entire system on the ship AND spread to other ships.

Awesome take. We used to know how to make films, even cheesy ones

Was hoping someone would get this. :)

@@chunksaflyin7288 I do.

my first thought exactly :D

I hadn’t seen this movie in years, and watched it before I knew anything about 2001: A Space Odyssey, and so never noticed the reference until this review. So, that was a nice surprise for me.

Yep. By '97 it was a sound clip that us geeks - even those called Dave - had largely stopped using as a startup sound. David still using it shows not only his geek credentials, but his holding on to the past.

It was so indescribably massive. Like there was never a big budget Hollywood summer blockbuster about an alien invasion and the military's response with an all star cast. It doesn't get the recognition it deserves for opening up big budget Sci fi movies in the age of cgi. 97 gave us 5th element. 98 was Armageddon. 99 was the SW prequels and it was off to the races from there.

"Man that guy Neegan is nice ...." heh

I was thinking about other space movie at that time and I thought of Deep Impact 1998

Armageddon, maybe theyre nice asteroids.

Back when Practical effects were still used . . . . oi.

Do remember that any alien species that we deemed ‘gross,’ would most likely find us, lacking tentacles, covered in hair, equally repulsive.

Humanity destroying aliens are not allowed to look like Taylor Swift, Alicia Vikander, Catherine Bell, Beyonce, Brad Pitt, Chris Evans, Naveen Andrews, Chadwick Boseman. V was the exception, with Morena Baccarin and Laura Vandervoort. Aliens are meant to look monstrous and insect like even if they are more advanced than us.

@@jrus690 I feel like the industry has been too shortsighted about the possible physical traits "intelligent" aliens would have. One thing that is a must, is some appendage(s) that can properly grip and operate tools. How else would they get to a stage of having such technology and be able to operate it in the first place. And the whole tentacle thing is getting a bit old in my opinion. Of course, at the time this came out, I was impressed by the appearances of these. They had both hands and tentacles. :p

@@ProxCyde I always find it much more scary and disturbing when the aliens look like us. Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

No kidding!

There is nothing like the real thing, that's why is better than CGI.

I’d agree. CGI can be impressive but there’s something about filming something live that feels better. More authentic maybe. Like with the contrast between The Thing and the prequel to it. The CGI takes you out of the movie because it’s so obviously a computer generated image. I feel less of a connection with CGI things as opposed to real world things.

Even as a kid, I could always easily spot models used in movies. There's just something about the material or paint or textures they use that make it obvious it's not full size. It's especially obvious during explosions because no matter what it's a model of, the chunks/debris/shrapnel always look like rocks but don't move like rocks do during an explosion. I'm not saying CGI is perfect by any means, of course, just that for me, CGI is no worse than this type of old practical effect.

@@Tantalus010 The big thing CGI struggles with is light on surfaces, so reflections and shadows. It takes talent, time and the right equipment but CGI can be undetectable. The big thing with practical effects is movement and weight. We know how muscle and skin move or how rocks look when they fall and practical effects just can't compensate. It annoys the hell out of me when people disrespect CG artists in favour of practical effects that are clearly more noticeably fake. Blowing up a model or stretching a rubber mask will never look as good as good CGI because rubber doesn't move or stretch like flesh. A balsa wood model will not disintegrate like a real boat or house. So often hear people give the same 'common' take that never stands up to scrutiny. Practical is better than CG, Vinyl is better than anything digital, home cooked is better than bought, and it's just regurgitated common takes vs any real sense of judgement or critical thinking. No one could honestly look at the shot changing between dummy Arnie head and real Arnie's head and tell me it's seamless or that it's better than the CGI in later movies.

@@AnonEyeMouse vinyl is better then the standard digital audio.

Indeed. People too often gloss over that the two of them were prepared to fall on their figurative sword for the world.

Absolutely, Because From Their Point Of View, They Were Trapped, Inside The Gigantic Mothership, And Tightly Held By The Above The Ship's Docking Mechanism, So When They Launched The Nuke, Which Crashed Into The Alien's Docking Control Room, That Damaged It, And Disrupted The Locking Mechanism, Shocking Them Into Seeing That The Ship Had Been Released, When They Had Been Awaiting The Detonation Of That Nuke, And They Had Resigned To Their Fates . . . '-o

How did I never pick up on that before? Thank you, that's yet another thing about this movie that I like.

I choose to believe "I picked a hell of a day to quit drinking" is an Airplane! reference too, I think it probably is but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

Fun trivia, the computer name HAL was chosen by Stanley Kubrick and author Arthur C. Clarke in reference of the IBM 360 computer by using one letter prior in the alphabet for the letters IBM, I - 1 = H B - 1 = A M - 1 = L HAL

I was 13, though 12 when the trailer dropped during the super bowl. Blew my mind. Best movie of my childhood.

The only movie ever that motivated me to go to the theater on the first day of release, first showing of the day.

I was 16 when it came out and I watched it 3 or 4 times in the theater. The special effects were mindblowing.

@@TheAntiChrysler for me it was that and jurassic park. those are the 2 I actually paid twice to watch in the theater. none ever gave me the vibe to do that. (Matrix was very close though.)

That whole cast of BSG was amazing... one of the best SciFi shows ever created because of the cast!

I always remembered her as the woman from Dances with wolves

When the golden age of tv started and is still on. BSG, Sopranos and Wire all premiered within a year or two. All 3 of those shows now classics :)

I knew she looked familiar.

So say we all

That must be scary as an actor, to start off with the iconic story moment. Like when Rami Malek had to shoot the Live Aid concert in Bohemian Rhapsody first. It's like, you either nail it right off the bat or you fail.

@@iwatchyoutube6539 Agree, Yes, they're sweet and innocent girls. But they're such bleeding hearts and cry and get sick over the tiniest bit of killing, video after video (presuming they're authentic and not over reacting for the sake of the channel...she does get paid from this). I'm guessing they're at least upper-middle class (she's probably a house wife) and have no idea what adversity or a rough life is. If society takes a turn for the worst, girls like her will die quickly. I'm not really bashing them, they're a product of their environment, I would blame their parents. If "the world" were more like them, we'd all be under the thumb of ruthless dictators. I couldn't help but to respond to that because I've seen a thousand comments on her videos saying the same thing. This weird adoration for being completely naïve and ignorant of the realities of the world and history, which you know they'd never say if the she/they weren't attractive.

@@Swearengen1980 nothing wrong with being an emotional person

@Zap Rowsdower Yep, very sheltered. She said she'd been living under a rock when it came to movies. Unfortunately I think that applies to the rest of life as well. I don't know for certain obviously, but it appears she went from a sheltered upbringing to being a sheltered house wife.

The model work in this movie was insane.

the mixing cgi, practical effects and models was such a genius innovation by the filmmakers.

12:17

@Kristopher Chavez Terminator 2 was released in 1991. I rented it and watched it like 5 times with my cousin who was visiting at the time.

The absolute masterpiece of mixing CGI with practical effects is Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think Stanley Kubrick films are the best of the best, because of all the deeper layers and hidden stuff, but from the cinematic point of view LOTR is the goat and almost certainly will never be topped. I'm so sad that I didn't watch those films are theater when they came. It would have been amazing experience.

And the scientist guy in Area 51 was Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

@@puckarine oh my gosh I never realized that! All I can add is that crop duster Randy Quaid 's kid is obviously Frank from Donnie Darko.

Data=Brent Spiner

Area 51 was not officially recognized until 1 or 2 years later, so yah, they probably were not anxious to deal with that.

@@jrus690 Area 51 was not recognized until Obama "declassified" it.

When this movie premiered in theaters, our actual President was Clinton. The FLOTUS in the movie borrowed elements from then FLOTUS Hillary. At the time, it was obvious, yet, apparently, not absent controversy. Apparently, Hillary hated the fact that the FLOTUS of the movie died. Reports vary, but she may have begun an influence campaign to lobby for the character’s survival but it was too late to make changes. The cans of films were already in the various theaters around the world.

President's wife??? Pffftt... what a downgrade. As far as I'm concerned, that's Laura Roslin, the president of the 12 colonies of Kobol. She is the dying leader destined to lead humanity to a new home.

I don't know what "balling" your eyes out is but it sounds like something for youporn, not youtube

@@ephennell4ever it really is

@@MrSmithla Somehow, I doubt that Clinton was lobbying for the character in the movie to survive. I was 16 then, and I never heard anything about this.

It's incredible you saying that. I saw Independence Day in the movies back in 96, and when it came out on VHS, my mom fell in love with it, too. She also watched Twister over and over again. She loved Twister, but I tolerated it because she liked it, not because I liked it. She never understood why I disliked Helen Hunts character in that movie so much, lol. We watched Independence Day every year on the 4th of July until my momma passed away in 2013. I'll never forget those times.

Twister is badass. These girls need to watch that.

@@wildmike85 Just a heads up. None of your videos shows up in my feed. I looked and somehow I'm not subscribed. KZfaq needs to fix this. I need to catch up. I love your reactions. Much love from southern Illinois.

My mom took us to see Twister when it released. We went to Taco Bell after and there happened to be a tornado warning during that storm. Scared the crap out of my grandma.

@@heathercontois4501 I live in the southern most part of Illinois and it's usually this time of year (late May) when we have our worse storms. We've had tornadoes in the past. We also had something someone coined as a land based hurricane but I don't think that is an accurate description. Think of it as massive wall of extremely powerful wind, hail and rain that only lasts for 11 seconds and it almost destroys everything. It happened here, this time of year in 2009. Power was out all over the area (not just my town) for almost a week.

Hahaha this nword eating beans.

I remember I saw someone running out during the autopsy scene when the alien woke up

I had a friend that did that in jaws.

I was the guy with the popcorn 😊

I second this! Contact IMO is one the greatest hard science fiction films of all time. Arrival and 2001 are at the top top but Contact seems to be the most relatable to the most people.

And one of the most angering films presented to us.

absolutely yes.

Great movie, outside one of the worst endings in cinema history

Also, Interstellar, for the thinking person's science fiction

Plus it was ALWAYS on TV, even still can be around July 4th.

How many people you knew that can recite the speech from memory? 😂. Back then lot of people had it like a national hymn 🤣.

they sure did. wasn't one empty seat in the house. they had to put folding chairs in the front.

That's my memory from the premiere. I was sitting in the very last row and expected a jump scare scene. Everyone jumped in their seats, lol.

My main memory from seeing the movie in theaters Independence day weekend 1996 was how loud the movie was. Ever been in a theater and wished they would turn the volume up and that the movie should be louder? Not a problem here.

@@mikell5087 I have been to Super 8 the other day and it was actually so loud I had to haul my ass of the seat and go to the manager asking if they can turn it down a bit, and I love very loud movies. This was painful.

Oh the memories. Those were the days.

I recall some of the dodgy-looking green-screens being dodgy-looking even back then.

when you look at the graphics even today, they are not that much better than those for star wars episode 4 or battle star galactica, made in the 70's, the graphics have not moved on that much since then, hell even new movies dont fair much better than the effects for stargate SG!'s space scenes, how long has that show been off the air

Whatever technology they used it still holds up nearly a quarter century later.

It cant be beat

Lots of green screen, physical models shot at 90 degree angles, explosives. Computers in 1996 were not powerful enough to generate elaborate 3d shots so they used to do simpler stuff. Video editing, 3d wire frame models at a distance, that is what the computers were used for.

Just a littlle bit of trivia for you. Back when this movie first came out a lot of people in the theaters cheered when the white house was taken out. LOL

@@jrus690 CG was used for most of the F18s and small attacker ships in the dog fights, and when they attack the airforce base and the trailer park. The F18 and the attacker in the grand canyon sequence were models. The huge ships over the cities and the mother ship were also practical models.

Yup yup and YUP!

​@@goldenager59I've long felt the Resurgence suffered for trying to do too much in a single movie. Everything felt rushed. We barely had time to absorb the shock and horror before the next scene jumped right into action. There was even a whole plot point about some base out by Jupiter or Saturn disappearing which in hindsight was probably the good alien's fault, but which is never actually addressed.
