Aliens invade, this time delivering a clear ultimatum. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as the U.S. President and citizens decide if these aliens are to be trusted …or feared.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In the opening scenes of INDENDENTS\u2019 DAY there\u2019s no dragging on development of the characters and story.\u00a0 The film provides the right amount of information needed in first few minutes, so it can jump right into the action as the aliens come down to earth.\u00a0 Once the aliens have strategically positioned their ships around the world, they contact all the world leaders and give them an ultimatum.\u00a0\u00a0 Leave earth in their vessels, or stay and be eradicated.\u00a0 The apparent reason by the aliens or Orions as they refer to themselves is that mankind has increasingly been destroying themselves and earth and it\u2019s time for a new beginning.\u00a0 They also promise to heal the sick.<\/p>\n Prior to knowing the Orions intent, the military evaluates the spaceships with fighter.\u00a0 The Orionstake it as a threat and show just a hint of their combat capabilities as they take out the fighter jets. After the White House and governmental buildings throughout the world are destroyed, world leaders are on edge whether to abide by the Orions demand or should they fight?\u00a0 The U.S. President perishes in the White House attack and Vice-President Raney is sworn in and inherits the alien invasion crisis.\u00a0 The Orions try to show they\u2019re acting in good faith, by healing President Raney\u2019s crippled son.\u00a0 Once healed, it\u2019s obvious that family has been brought into the President\u2019s dilemma.\u00a0 Now she has even a tougher decision on her hands and it\u2019s one of the bigger turning points in the film as it raises the question, what\u2019s more important to the President, family or the citizens of the United States.<\/p>\n While President Raney attempts to negotiate with the Orions in hopes of a peaceful resolution a militia group known as First Earth attacks some spaceships.\u00a0 The Orions consider the actions of First Earth an act of war and ramp up their threat to President Raney and the military.\u00a0 It\u2019s a difficult situation as in addition to the Orions, the government has to curtail a militia.\u00a0 When President Raney\u2019s husband who is also a Senator contacts First Earth he has his own plan of attack.\u00a0 It backfires, but yet opens up communication between the military and militia and they\u2019re able to work together against the Orions.<\/p>\n As the story develops the dire situation progressively gets worse.\u00a0 All the plans and strategies take a turn when new intelligence comes in about the Orions.\u00a0 Now with a better understanding of the Orions and their vessels, a new plan of attack is drawn up.<\/p>\n The military along with the assistance of First Earth put their plan of attack into action.\u00a0 As they proceed, they continue to learn new things about the Orions.\u00a0 Throughout the story there are multiple roadblocks and setbacks that keep the tension and drama high.\u00a0 When things appear to be set in place for victory, President Raney is put in yet another situation and has to make her toughest decision yet.\u00a0 Her family is priority, but yet thousands if not millions of lives are at stake. \u00a0The climax provides intense battles and dramatic moments up till the last second of the film.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PRODUCTION NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n INDEPENDENTS\u2019 DAY may boldly be The Asylum\u2019s film of the decade for the sci-fi genre.\u00a0 Much credit goes to Director Laura Beth Love and the entire INDEPENDENTS\u2019 DAY team! \u00a0With having the common short shooting schedule and budget, Laura Beth Love deserves an award for making a high quality film with significantly less resources than a big budget production.\u00a0 \u201cI grabbed the reigns, gave up any hope of sleep on our brisk ten-day schedule, and shaped a movie that I hope fans of V and Independence Day will enjoy,\u201c<\/em>says Laura Beth.<\/p>\n All around the acting was convincing and fun to watch.\u00a0 They reacted very well in threatening situations and dramatic moments.\u00a0 Fay Gauthier as President Raney was believable as an authoritative President.\u00a0 There are several WTF moments President Raney is put in and Gauthier\u2019s reactions, including an eye roll, were superb.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt was a total blast working on this film.\u00a0 From the cast and crew to our real fearless leader, Director Laura Beth Love, I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better group of people to share the adventure with.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In regards to the Special Effects team, Mike Verta, Joseph Lawson, Tammy Klein, and Glenn Campbell created specials effects that very well can be considered the best amongst films by The Asylum and comparable to blockbuster films.\u00a0 Explosions of U.S. and Alien ships and all the battlesare visually stunning and would be amazing if seen on the big screen, especially since there\u2019s a great soundtrack to go along with all the action and drama.\u00a0 The music was provided by Mike Verta who also contributed to the special effects and he has these final words about the film, \u201cIn the end, it\u2019s called Independents\u2019 Day, it\u2019s a mockbuster.\u00a0 Everybody knows what to expect from it.\u00a0 But I think this time people will find it\u2019s got just a little bit more, too,\u201d<\/em>Mike Verta.<\/p>\n A must see film!!!INDEPENDENTS\u2019 DAY is currently available on VOD and DVD.\u00a0 Visit The Asylum\u2019s website for more information.<\/p>\n![\"7B6A0958\"](\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/7B6A0958-785x523.jpg\")
