Star Trek you mean Space Force? personal communicators (cell phones), phasers (DEWs), Translators (cell phone app) talking out loud and the computer listening and doing like Alexa and all that
Red Dawn was a very likely engagement in the 70-80s.
It was/is a “what if”.
And back when Hollywood took a chance on a good plot, writing, directing, editing, and for the most part, good acting too.
Funny thing is people who watch it now, scoff at all those ‘rednecks.’
Meanwhile, all those flyover states some look lowly down upon, life is not that much different.
I think they tried to make a red dawn type movie , with LE being the commies ………….somebody didnt like the government overreach scenario . I think that is more accurate .
Not back then.
if they did do it I’m sure they’d leave out the part where The People voted the sheriff, judges and all the other politicians in and rallies around them like they were heros.
When I read that they digitally replaced all the China flags and made them NK flags, then I decided NOT to watch the new one.
I just may have to watch it (the original) tonight.
Hey, put it out there on various blogs! Be a trip to see it hit various “Trending now” channels: Red Dawn!
