They're Random, Baby!

An Interesting Visual Similarity

[all content on this page was created by 'A Jolly Old Soul' - we just put it on the web for him.]

Whilst watching the tantalizing announcement about Halo 3, something peculiar came up. The end of the trailer showing the colossal, African, metal, glowing, flower thing reminded the viewers present of another film. Upside down though.

But enough with pretentious banter... let the pictures do the talking:
Set 1 Halo 3 Trailer
Set 2 Independence Day
Movie Scenes
Set 3 Alien Aperture
Set Model
Coincidence, no? Bear in mind that the bottom pictures are just the central beam thingie from the movie. And a few of the shots have been flipped to better illustrate the connection.

Also, this mention leans more towards "pretty-neat-similarity-eh?" and not the "stupi- Bungie-ripped-off-Independence-Day" direction. Take that as you will. Many thanks.
