So I just went to this website and I'm feeling all types of hype from it. Though the website is a bit clunky in places, I do like the interface and the whole "future" feel. But I wonder two things. 1) Will this live up to the original? 2) Will this make a good video game?

On the second point, for some reason, all I kept thinking of was Wing Commander 1 and 2.

So I ask you the same questions: Do you think this sequel will live up to the hype? Outdo the original? Or at the very least not disappoint? And do you think we'll get a damn good video game out of this movie?

Well, so long as nobody hacks into an alien mothership with an apple mac, I'm up for giving it a chance

Apparently (or so I've heard) there's a scene that explains that all of our computers are based off alien designs. So considering we reverse engineered their technology for our own uses, its not quite so silly (well.. I mean not so silly in context of the movie and alien invasions and all that).

I base my hype purely off of who the director is. In this case it's the director of the original... But he hasn't made a movie I've liked since 1999 (The thirteenth floor). So I'm just going to assume it's bad and watch it a few years after it releases.

Looks like a movie I classify as "not to watch by paying" , so it may worth the risk of wasting few hours of limited life but no way money on my own.

Well.....I mean randomly rebooting/adding sequels/remaking films works sometimes right? That's really the only reason I'm skeptical, but to be fair, the trailer looks pretty badass, so I'm cautiously hopeful.

I didn't feel like Independence Day needed a sequel, but it might be good.

The new Star Trek on the other hand, looks like a complete and utter abomination.

I didn't really find hacking Alien Computers with Macs that far fetched after I watched a film on the SciFi channel where a kid writes a virus and hacks into a computer using a Gameboy pocket color.

Terminal Error is the name of the film:
