The trailer looks pretty epic, not sure about the plot/myth as to regards or the year 2012. But it's an Emmerich film so expect "awesome" SFX  . |

Let's see if he can get back to good disaster movies after the atrocity that was 10,000 BC.

Found Godzilla,The Patriot and Independence Day pretty entertaining. To compare him twith Boll is not really fair. He does big scope matinee flicks, no more no less.

All those movies sucked. The Patriot sucked a bit less than the others, but still sucked a lot. I think the comparison is pretty good, tbh. They are the hacks of each genre.

No NO. These movies are pretty good.
Independence day is my favorite and the patriot and Godzilla are pretty good.

That's the whole point, there is no intention for Oscar material there, just plain mindless action...nothing wrong with that. As I said "Big scope matinee flicks"

Godzilla & The Patriot were decent but the rest was just awful. But lets see im not getting my hopes high on this one.

I wish people without any computer knowledge would stop using things like virus attacks etc in their movies. The whole upload a virus to the mothership in Independence day idea was laughable, they should've just attached a nuke to the alien ship, fly it to the mothership and nuke it to hell. Add Jeff Goldblums char as the co-pilot and give him a reason to tag along.
Dont mess with God, he can impregnate your girlfriend/wife without taking his pants off!

i was joining into the conversation with the southpark line that made fun of the hollywood movie.
Emmerich isn't BAD. He's better than Bay. Im looking forward to this one. I seen the trailer like 2 months ago or was it a teaser. That ripped off Kubrick's shinning. But still was dope.

and that's why nerds will never make good movies.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT HACKING.
By a lot i mean like around 95% 
They're just movies. Suspension of disbelief. You watch a movie to get away from a shitty day at the job. To relax. To have fun. To get lost.
It seemed like a smart idea to me to hack a ship. A nice kick to the nuts by the earthy people. A nuke is jush meh. Solves too much of everything.
All of Emmerich's movies have flaws in the story but do you seriously care? A movie about aliens. A movie where planet freezes in 4 days. Logical or not, his movies are far more interesting than some of the shit that's out there. Even transporter 3 was disappointing. And if you disappoint in a movie where a guy stood during a plane crash or where a guy drove a car in the air just to detach a bomb. Like... ARGH! 
Emmerich is all about entertainment and good ol fun.

hmmm...skeptical...John Cusak...dont like him at all. But if Woody's in it, it might be good (NBK is still one of my fav movies).
And Amanda Peet is a hottie, hope she gets naked again (The Whole 9 Nine Yards, nice tits  )

Yes he was, and the nukes didn't have any effect on the ships at all. |

Seems a few missed my point completely. I meant when Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum piloted the old alien ship and docked with the mothership. They were carrying a nuke, and my question was why they needed to upload the virus at all. Just fire of the nuke and destroy the mothership. Theres no need to include such a silly plot detail.

The used the virus to disable the attack ships, but if they'd just fired of the nuke while inside the mothership, they would've achieved the same thing.
