Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) Directed by Roland Emmerich
Action / Adventure / Sci-Fi
aka: Resurgence
Film Synopsis
It has been twenty years since planet Earth narrowly thwarted an invasion
of immensely powerful, lethally armed extraterrestrial beings intent on wiping
out humanity. Now a second attack is imminent, judging by a message
that David Levinson has just received. With memories of the last catastrophe
still fresh in their minds, a fight to the death in which billions of millions
died, all the nations of the world come together to create a colossal defence
system that will make use of alien technology salvaged from the first attack.
But even this turns out to be inadequate against the violent onslaught that
is unleashed on the world by belligerent aliens who are determined not to
be defeated a second time. This time it really does look as if the
game is up for the human race...

The best of Japanese cinema
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
