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 British film comedies
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
