Independence Day doesn't get nearly enough credit for the slow building of dread over the first hour of the film

Leperfish rear end mother fucker incapable of feeling any sense of foreboding from a giant goddamn spaceship emerging out of fire in the sky over New York because he is too busy searching Wikipedia for articles about the physics of atmospheric re-entry so he can contradict the science of the scene

I might not say dread, but there was certainly a sense of panic in the first act. From discovering a mysterious signal in the satellites to Jeff Goldblum figuring out it was a timer to then him trying to convey that info at the last minute with varying degrees of success definitely conveyed a sense of panic very well. They even did the shot of the LA saucer perfectly, with the party people staring straight up into the death ray with joy as it powers up.

Here let's feel the intense atmosphere of this climatic scene again, where the boys from earth are taking out the aliens with the full knowledge that they're probably gonna die, and still somehow staying cheerful about it because that's just the kind of stand-up amazing true Americans they really are, the nerd scientist and the fighter jock working side by side to defeat the evil alien menace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxS0kiUX6p0 I'm tearing up again just thinking about it oh my god and then they're loose and MAYBE THEY'll MAKE IT OUT AFTER ALLllllll who saw that TWIST coming because I sure didn't!!!

I'm not sure which movie you mean though, IMDB is not helping. Yeah dude the actor who played Dredd is the guy who plays Bones on the new star treks and it's kind of a revelation. Super violent of course, but a really underrated movie, not to mention that it really kind of captures the character from the old comic books. The old Judge Dredd movie with sly stallone is schlock, enjoyable for certain aspects but kind of campy and dumb. Dredd is so much better.

I'm craving a Me Day, or a man's spa day: - Sleeping in til about 10 - Brewing some coffee and drinking it relaxed - 3 hour gym session with no scramble to do X chore or errand after - Lounge in the pool for as long as I want - Come back into the apartment, blast the A/C, shut every blind and curtain (I call this "cave mode") - Fire up some loud - Order $80-100 of sashimi - Enjoy some martial arts movies - Play Civ 5 until 3 AM
