i hope you under stand what i am on about i am sure they mention it but its been years since i saw it

also for all we know those people collecting on the streets saying please donate to the blind may be secrety collecting money for area 51 or others

Yeah, that Vietnam vet (Russell Casse) is driving the motorhome that Hiller comes up to, and he consults a map and says he doesn't see anything there. Hiller tells him, oh it's there.

Then when they get to Area 51 the MPs try to stop them, demanding clearance or something, and Hiller shows them the alien and threatens to leave it with them if they won't let him in!

Then you have Brent Spiner, who played Data in the Star Trek TNG series as that mad-scientist type....

Lol @ Goddess.

Does anyone have a picture of the Area 51 from the movie?

Actually, the place where they filmed it was Wendover, Utah, USA wasn't it?

Yes...Wendover correct, old closed down Military base there. Right on the boarder of Utah and Nevada, with access to the Bonneville Salt Flats.

This was portrayed in the film as the exterior and interiors of Area 51.

I think everyone gives too much attention to Area 51... Even if it used to be home to deep dark secrets they have definantely moved them by now... too much attention on the spot. Plus, it's a perfect place to push the attention to to hide other things.

i dont think so . gov has put a lot oof money. to adding to it i dont think they would just dump the place and move on. they might not have realy secret stuff there but they still use the base

On a side note I noticed something, the internal aliens from ID4 seemed to have been used as the models for the ones in the new WotW from Spielberg. And it appears that I am not alone!

Funny Link

I loved the effects, the retro design, score, the sound fx were amazing - Spielberg is the master of creating atmosphere with sound. I liked that it stayed true to some elements of the book. But here is what I didn't like.

1. The aliens were 95% the SAME design as in Independence Day. What gives? Think anyone wouldn't notice?


Arguments can be made for alot of other stuff too, but the premise of the whole story from the book: (germs kill the aliens) - I always liked. Simplicity. Alot better than an apple laptop that happens to be compatible with alien technology and some drunk cropduster. Only the aliens being undone in Signs by a baseball bat and a glass of water was more hilarious.
