The "let's infect the alien software with a virus" was so cute I had to check if Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay.

You coulda thrown in a few lines indicating that the Area 51 scientists had been breaking down their machine language for decades, etc, and then Goldblum provides the missing link, which he could transmit using a machine they created over decades to actually work with/connect to the alien network, versus, say, a Macbook.

P.S. the original screenplay of that sceen was actually supposed to be Randy Quaid's character actually being rejected as a F18 pilot and flying his biplane into the ship the same way....

25 years later and we've yet to build a wall to keep out those alien invaders.  We just never learn.  We lack the willpower, that's what it is.

Shame that the Disney deal put an end to a chance at an ID3 and ID4.  That and the lack of interest on the part of the producer.  And the box office sales of the second.  

The crazy thing is Emmerich and Devlin spawned a helluva franchise with Stargate. Shame they couldn’t with ID.
