Afternoon,
Fam…
So, 1902’s Trip to the Moon was the first film that
aliens were the central them.
Of course,
everybody knows about ‘82’s E.T. the
Extra-Terrestrial and ‘96’s Independence
Day. They continue being a mainstay
in theaters and now sites like Netflix.
Last night,
Joey and I saw Netflix’s Extinction. Now, looking at the trailer, it looked like
it had an Independence Day with a
spin.
Instead of
Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Levinson finding the hidden message in the strange frequency,
we’ve got Michael Pena’s Peter having nightmares of an alien takeover. This put my worries to rest that this was
just going to be an ID4 rehash for
the 21 Century, but was it full of cheese, or were they serious with it?
Now, there’s
always been a debate whether we’re alone in the universe…after all, it’s a big
ass universe. We’re of the mind that we’d
be arrogant to think we are the only ones.
Yes, most people haven’t seen an alien and won’t see one in their
lifetime, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Hell, they probably see how screwed up we are
and know it’s not in their best interest to show themselves.
Extinction plays with the idea that things aren’t
what we think they are. If you check out
the film, you’ll see, and I hope you give it a go, because, hey, it’s aliens? invading
Earth.
Be good to
each other.
