Trivia
It is possible to see an upside down R2-D2 (from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, etc) in part of the large spacecraft that flies over "Devils Tower". The SFX people needed more detail, and so supposedly there are many more such items, such as a shark from Jaws (also directed by Steven Spielberg), etc. R2-D2 is visible as Jillian first sees the mother-ship up close from her hiding place in the rocks.
