Independence Day : Resurgence Review

I went in theaters yesterday to see Independence Day : Resurgence and although i was really waiting for it i have a mixed review about it. As usual with each Roland Emmerich movies special effects were good and storyline had some flaws but what annoyed me the most is a casting problem. Some of the actors of the first movie were there and they're all great professional actors from Jeff Goldblum to Bill Pullman and with a special mention to Brent Spiner. All of them were fine and "saved the movie". The problem is with the young actors fighting with their jets against the aliens. Some of them are so young that it creates a serious problem of credibility, specially when they're supposed to be U.S soldiers. And i will call this a "Hunger Games" problem. They probably cast them to target the same age audience but sorry, for me, it didn't worked one second. That say, the film is pleasant, though the first one was better.

By the way i've read that Emmerich signed a deal with Universal recently for a new catastrophe movie titled "Moon Fall" and, yes, it will be about our satellite going out of orbit and threatening to crash on Earth: "A group of misfits will unite to try to save humanity when the Moon falls out of its orbit and starts to hurtle towards our planet".

I choose the ID2 poster above showing the destruction of London, which happen in the movie. Emmerich had a good instinct on this one as the release of the movie fit perfectly with what happened last Friday and this incredibly stupid Brexit and its upcoming consequences for the United Kingdom.

All Aboard for the Best Video of Shanghaî Disneyland Peter Pan's Flight Version ...and TRON Lightcycles Power Run, too!

All aboard for the most clear video you've ever seen of Shanghaî Disneyland Peter Pan's Flight version! This HD video was filmed by So Cal Attractions 360 who posted recently the awesome SDL Pirates of Caribbean low light video, and here again his camera is doing miracles. You'll discover plenty of details of the scenes that you could barely see in the others previous videos of the ride, so don't miss it!




We have more with this other So Cal Attractions 360 low light video of the TRON Lightcycles Power Run. In this case the ability to film and "light" a scene in very low light is almost a problem as you can see things that you are not supposed to see!

Disneyland Paris Space Mountain : Is a "Version 3" Star Wars Themed in the Works ?

One more news about Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary as, according to ED92, a Space Mountain version 3 is in the works for Disneyland Paris Discoveryland with a Star Wars version, and should open for DLP 25th Anniversary, along with Star Tours 2. Below the translation of ED92 post which, as long as not officially confirmed, must be of course treated as a rumor, even if ED92 is generally well informed.You'll find also the french version of the post on ED92 Facebook post HERE:

"Some months ago, several Imagineers of Walt Disney Imagineering came to Disneyland Paris to perform some tests on Space Mountain: Mission 2, exploring the possibilities offered by its latest long renovation.
The program would include the very famous Star Wars music in the trains and projections of an epic battle between X-Wings and Tie Fighter.
You understand now, the famous « Space Mountain Version 3" we were talking about since a long time now arrive and will be dedicated to Star Wars!
As usual your adventure will begin with the help of the Columbiad cannon, which this time would not send you to an anonymous galaxy where a star becomes a supernova. This time it will catapult you into the most famous of all open confrontation between the Resistance and the First Order with, as a finale, an exploding Star Destroyer before returning to Earth at light speed.
Note that this new "mission" would arrive in March 2017 along with the new trains for the 25th anniversary of Disneyland Paris and should be a permanent dressing like his "clones" at Disneyland in California, Walt Disney World in Florida and Hong Kong Disneyland.
But DLP specificity, we'll have the opportunity to have a much better quality video, our Mountain having much larger screens than its counterparts.
It would not be the only attraction to host the Star Wars license next year as Star Tours 2 is also scheduled to open for the 25th Anniversary… "

Not-to-be Missed Video of Steven Spielberg Giving a Tour of Universal Studios Hollywood Backlot

Do NOT miss this incredible video of Steven Spielberg giving a tour of Universal Studios Hollywood backlot to Entertainment Weekly reporter Anthony Breznican. Lots of Steven memories and stories about the site. They are in a golf cart and it is Spielberg who is DRIVING the cart! It's also very interesting to see him in a different situation than usual, you guess a different Spielberg, different than the one we usually see in press junkets filmed interviews.

Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary : 2017 Let the Dreams Begin by ED92

Disneyland Paris will celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 2017, but almost 9 months ahead of its big launch, a cloak of secrecy is still wrapped around the details of the festivities. Thanks to our friends of ED92 we'll take a peek at what the Resort’s teams have been working on creating for you. Of course, if you prefer to avoid spoilers, you better stop reading now! The french readers who want to read this article in french can find it on ED92 HERE.

Are you still with us? Well then, let’s walk under the Disneyland Hotel to take a tour of Disneyland Park, ‘Version 25’!



1. DECORATIONS
Why complicate things when the old recipes have been successful?

But forget the gold flags and banners. The 25th will be draped in blue and white, reminiscent of the Resort’s 15th Anniversary, and hot on the heels of the acclaimed 60th Anniversary of Disneyland Resort in California. From Main Street Station to Central Plaza, in Town Square and on Main Street, you won’t be able to miss the classy and colourful decorations that will ornate Main Street U.S.A. for the Celebration.

But it is at night that the true nature of the decorations will be revealed, as Tinkerbell seems quite set on sprinkling a bit of Pixie Dust to make everything …sparkle with light.



2. PARADE
How can we not talk about one of the most awaited event of the Celebration?

The new Parade is setting up to be a big refresh. Inspired by the Happiness is Here Parade(Tokyo Disneyland) and Festival of Fantasy (Magic Kingdom), its 8 large floats mean just as many unforgettable memories.

If you enjoy the art direction for the upcoming show Mickey and the Magician, you will love this new super-production, very colourful and with a few, shall we say... steampunk touches. The show will start with an large articulated ‘telescope’ float before taking us across many Disney classics. From Peter Pan to Finding Dory, Toy Story, The Lion King and Frozen, there will be something for everyone.

But a specific float could be the big star of the show: a certain Dragon that has been delighting the Magic Kingdom guests is expected to be built for the new Parade.



3. THE CHAPARRAL THEATER – Forest of Enchantment

It is not a secret that the runaway hit show of the spring season is returning in 2017. This time it should be running until the end of summer. Among the novelties, the show would be performed by default in two languages.

But the set could be the most notable difference, tweaked to give the show more depth and allow for better viewing points. For example, the trees that were covering the theatre’s pillars are not expected to return.



4. CASTLE STAGE – A New Show

Now for one of the main surprises of this Celebration: a whole new show on Castle Stage, running throughout the celebration.

With the beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle as a backdrop, it will honor the Disney Princesses in an impressive “royal” setting, and will be taking advantage of the experience gained last year at Halloween and Christmas.



5. CENTRAL PLAZA – Happy Birthday Disneyland Paris

For another key part of the 25th Anniversary, and again brand new, Central Plaza is the host of this big production.

With the help of around 20 Disney Characters (with some of them new to Disneyland Paris), the heart of Disneyland Park will be truly energized several times a day in a big party reminiscent of the Move it! Shake it! Celebrate it! Street Party (Magic Kingdom) and Goofy’s Garden Party (Disneyland Park).

We won’t reveal more details about this show for now, but keep in mind that all eyes will be on the very center of the Plaza for the occasion ;)



6. DISNEY DREAMS! – 25 Years of Dreams

Let’s now talk about the Disneyland Park night-time spectacular introduced for the 20th Anniversary.

The show will become more magical than ever, starting completely from scratch, to take us on a journey through new dreams, with new effects!

This time around, it’s Mickey who ‘wishes upon a star’ and embarks on an adventure through the biggest Disney Studios productions.

We hope you are already a fan of Ignite the Dream!(Shanghai Disneyland), because Disney Dreams!‘25’ will be its ‘successor’, with a number of similar scenes such as the explosive Pirates of the Caribbean sequence or the tumultuous Star Wars battle.



7. MAIN STREET STATION - Kiss Goodnight

Did you think Disney Dreams! would be the finale of your day at Disneyland Paris? Think again: a last surprise is expected to be waiting for you on the Main Street Station balcony.

Indeed, Mickey will wave at his guests one last time, to wish them a safe journey home and a good night full of magical dreams.



We leave you on this wonderful image, as we close the curtain on this first peek at what’s in the works for the 25th Anniversary Celebration.

We will be back soon, as Disneyland Paris is preparing many more surprises: with rides updates, or at the Walt Disney Studios with the arrival of new (super) heroes, orfrom the Food and Merchandise teams who are working hard to wow you.

Are you excited to join in on the most magical celebration in the Resort’s history?

Editor's Note: I'm sorry to inform you that i will most probably stop posting on Disney and more AND on the D&M Facebook page anytime soon. For how long? At least two months, and may be forever, i don't know yet. What i know is that there will be at least one more article after i've been to Shanghaî Disneyland this August, and then we'll see. I know i've stopped already D&M before and came back a few weeks or months later but this time it may be REALLY the end. We'll see what happen and in the meantime enjoy the last coming posts!
