My intention was to show how a BZ movie could be developed, and/or how to evolve ID4's dead end plot.  My tone was more like "it would be nice if...", not "they better make it or I start killing people", I was not pushing for it.  Anyway, give it to Paul Verhoeven (Starship Troopers), Roland Emmerich (ID4) or Michael Bay (Transformers).  They'll turn anything into a summer blockbuster, as long it has lots of explosions and nonstop action. .

BTW, I want to personally thank you for BZ2 and all the recent patchwork.  I don't think you and Ken get thanked enough.

Independence Day.

Now, before you start disagreeing, consider what we saw in the film:

At the end of the film, nations around the world had their hands on alien technology, which can be studied and reverse engineered to find out how to make use of it.  What technology? ...let's see:

-Biomechanical armors.  I assume their ships could be also made of biometal.

-Plasma cannons used by alien attackers.

-Vehicles that can hover or fly without a combustion engine.  Yes, I know in the game the use propulsion similar to jet planes, but they seem to hover on their own, maybe using some electromagnetic technology.
 
-Some APC's can be seen in the background when they enter the alien mothership.

-Scion shields!

The plot could develop from the point the movie ended.  Humans pretty much went back to fighting each other, when scientists discover the strange features on the metal the alien ships and weapons were made of.  The metal is discovered to have some sort of metallic DNA signature in it, which can be modified to forge different vehicles and weapons, by just adding "raw" biometal to a biometal piece imprinted with this metallic DNA.  It would work exactly as in the game, where biometallic objects distribute the damage evenly around the whole object, and can be "healed" by shooting a sort of plasmic repair biometal to them, just like a service truck does in the game, or the way a constructor, carries the blueprints for structures, determines the one to use and starts shooting biometal imprinted with the design specs in the metallic DNA.

The plot could go on just like the first Battlezone, with humans going into space looking for more biometal, fighting each other for supremacy, and ultimately joining together to fight a common enemy: the Furies, leaving the Scions, Hadeans or even Cthonians for subsequent sequels.  Yeah, I thought of that too.

I really wish it could be made into a movie, but I don't think it could be marketed as an ID4 sequel, so people might feel cheated or let down, but I am sure a lot of people in the BZ community would love to see this happening.  I hope somehow an awesome hollywood director (i.e. Christopher Nolan) gets to read this and develops it into a kickass movie.

P.S.:Bumblebee cries?...damn you, Michael Bay!
