Independence Day

It’s life… but not as we know it!

This Sci-Fi Friday is actually on a Thursday, because it's the 4th of July, so a screening of Independence Day at the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium feels right.

Strange phenomena appear around the globe. The skies ignite. Terror races through the world's major cities. As these extraordinary events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that a force of incredible magnitude has arrived. Its mission: total annihilation over the Fourth of July weekend. The last hope to stop the destruction is an unlikely group of people united by fate and unimaginable circumstances.

The film will start at 7:15pm and will be preceded at 7pm by an introduction from one of Otago Museum's planetarium presenters who will discuss the new Space Force initiative. Sci-Fi Fridays will take place every second Friday of the month in Otago Museum's Perpetual Guardian Planetarium. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase.
