12 Giant Plot Holes In Successful Films

2. Independence Day - Unintelligent Life Forms

"Hello boys... I'm baaaaaaaack!" - Randy Quaid.

Earth is once again endangered by a species of telepathic aliens, heralding the apocalypse aboard a spaceship the size of Greece. However, the technological brilliance the alien life-forms of Independence Day apparently does not extend to the regular antivirus complete with a second-hand laptop.

Foiled by a Jeff Goldblum-sponsored pop-up? Really, guys?

Furthermore, the military treat Randy Quaid like a madman after he declares he's been previously abducted by aliens. They virtually dismiss him and shake their heads like he's talking nonsense. Yet, this dismissal takes place amidst a recruitment process - to find people to fight aliens who have come to earth.

Logic, anyone?
