Description:
One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world's only hope lies with a determinded band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of all mankind.
Amazon.com essential video:
In Independence Day, a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum once actually had a fistfight with a man (Bill Pullman) who is now president of the United States. That same president, late in the film, personally flies a jet fighter to deliver a payload of missiles against an attack by extraterrestrials. Independence Day is the kind of movie so giddy with its own outrageousness that one doesn't even blink at such howlers in the plot. Directed by Roland Emmerich, Independence Day is a pastiche of conventions from flying-saucer movies from the 1940s and 1950s, replete with icky monsters and bizarre coincidences that create convenient shortcuts in the story. (Such as the way the girlfriend of one of the film's heroes--played by Will Smith--just happens to run across the president's injured wife, who are then both rescued by Smith's character who somehow runs across them in alien-ravaged Los Angeles County.) The movie is just sheer fun, aided by a cast that knows how to balance the retro requirements of the genre with a more contemporary feel. --Tom Keogh

Idependence Day is more or less pure brainless entertainment, and that's all it's meant to be. It does this very well, with fast pacing, lots of explosions and interpersonal drama. The effects have held up a lot better than I'd have thought they would as well. It isn't a movie to watch for social commentary or anything like that: pop it in, grab some beer and pizza and enjoy.
The Blu Ray version of the movie is *very* impressive. They added a little bit of extraneous footage but nothing ... Read More

What a joke of a movie, it only got good attendance because of the special affects. It stunk when it came out and it still stinks. Overacting, bad lines, and stupid plot. Example it took 2 weeks to train civilians to be f-18 fighter pilots. Harry Connick Jr is a joke of an actor. Will Smith is over rated and over acts. Like how the alien space craft they hijacked had seats made for humans and not the aliens that have no legs or butts. Terrible movie, but what do you expect from the makers of Godzilla and ...

No wonder this movie is so popular. It combines state-of-the-art CGI explosions with jingoistic nonsense and modern PC stereotypes. The kids get their explosions, the conservatives get their war on, and the liberals get their modern stereotypes and everyone goes home happy.
Ah conservatives, gird your loins, men, because they are coming, whoever "they" are. Sometimes a "real American" has to fight to save the world from smelly aliens. Being the best country in the world is such a drag because ... Read More

This is a great film until you get to the part where Will Smith punches the alien and says "Welcome to Earth". And then the wheels come off big style. Lots to like in this film, V-Style giant dustbin lid flying saucers, lots of action, but the gung-ho lameness of the "USA, USA" patriotism is the sort of stuff that has the 5 and three quarter billion people in the world who are not American covering their eyes with embarrassment. It is somehow fitting that the climax to the film involves Randy Quaid flying up ... Read More

The scenario (if any) is so predictable, the clichés so evident, it's hard not to fall asleep.
