However, when I say I was nostalgic for this movie didn't mean that I was expecting it to blow my mind like it probably did when I was eight. Now, of course, as someone who was eight years old at the time of this movie's release, my tastes were, say, a little less discerning than they are now, theoretically speaking. Anyway, one of the things I remember most about this movie, other than that one jump scare, isn't even something about the movie itself, it's the fact that I made my mom (or aunt) take me to see this movie in theaters a second time. I was eight years old in 1996 and, quite frankly, this was probably the type of movie that spoke to me as a child. Here's the thing, Independence Day came out in 1996. Admittedly speaking, however, the reason I did choose to watch this last night wasn't to contrast Extraterrestre with this, though it does make for an interesting contrast, it was simply because I was feeling slightly nostalgic and I wanted to watch a movie from my youth. But Independence Day, for one reason or another, is still somewhat fondly remembered to this day. Well, really, perhaps that last point is a bit of an exaggeration. So, now that I think about it, as I didn't really notice at the time, it turns out that after watching an alien invasion movie (Extraterrestre) without the aliens and barely any invasion as it is, I decided to watch the most alien invasion-y movie ever made.
