Hmmmm...the old fox 5 star edition pretty much WAS definitive. It even had the fake news footage included. I can't imagine what more they could include.

How about we get the aliens to ally themselves with the Americans? 5 minutes of friendly fire and problem solved...

I was just thinking they have trouble finding a 70 odd year old mental guy hiding in some cave, and Aliens with ships the size of cities might be a bit beyond them.
But don't worry, if those bloody aliens get to be too much trouble us brits will be there to climb up the yanks arses and give em' what for!!
Tally ho!

Not wanting to nitpick your nitpicking but the alien ship isn't a Mac...so technically (in a Hollywood alien invasion America saves the world as usual movie type of way) the ship could be infected. The Mac wasn't infected....only used to transfer the file.

This movie had so much going for it until they took down the aliens with a virus uploaded by a Mac.
