Independence Day: Resurgence

P

Prescott Joe

The newly released blockbuster Sci-Fi thriller in theaters now:

"As the Fourth of July nears, satellite engineer David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) investigates a 3,000-mile-wide mother ship that’s approaching Earth. Fortunately, 20 years earlier, nations across the world started to use recovered extraterrestrial technology to develop an immense defense program. When the alien invaders attack with unprecedented force, the U.S. president, teams of scientists and brave fighter pilots spring into action to save the planet from a seemingly invincible enemy."

My observation:
With Earth's satellite network and infrastructure basically destroyed, the resistance depends
on two-way RADIOS to communicate. To keep the people of Earth informed, the leaders of the
world depend on short-wave RADIO. Interesting that the movie, depicted many, many years in
the future, resort to RADIO as the "go to" form of communication................
The tried, the true, the proven..........
 
Shortwave was a key aspect to communicating in the first one, and radio helps in the sequel. They also need to rely on an old school radar truck. It was a decent movie, with radio properly honored, again, just not quite as good as the original.
 
I agree the first one was more realistic due to our technology. The new one had technology that yes we will have soon. But not yet! They made the movie seem like it was 20 years later, but we don't have all the technology we have in this movie. A little exaggerated in my opinion...
 
I think if they were to hit Tampa Bay, they would just eliminate the Sunshine Skyway first. That would be devastating as it would take way longer now to get to Bradenton from St. Pete. :)
