Movie Description
With a $71 million budget and mind-blowing special effects, INDEPENDENCE DAY is a grand, high-tech throwback to such films of the 1950s as THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL and WAR OF THE WORLDS. Here, aliens, in numerous gargantuan spaceships, arrive without warning and hover over the world's most important cities, creating global panic. The nasty visitors use death rays to blow New York, Washington D.C, and Los Angeles to smithereens. A handful of plucky Americans, including the Clinton-esque President (Bill Pullman), a gung-ho fighter pilot (Will Smith) and a computer geek named David (Jeff Goldblum), attempt to devise a strategy against the invaders.


On July 4th, their risky plan is put into effect, as dozens of fighter pilots (including the President) wage an assault on the spaceships. However, their success (and the fate of the world) depends on David, who is attempting to disarm the aliens's mothership.

    This modern SiFi Classic has the sprit of the UFO invasion films of the 50's and 60's . The big difference is that the story development is better and the special affects are amazing.!
    My favorite scene is when the aliens destroy the white house. The theater audience burst out in cheers and applauds!
    I broke me up.
    A great story and quality production make this a must see .

    As with any movie of this nature, you have to be willing to sit back and suspend some of the preconcieved notions of what is possible! If you are able to do that this movie ranks pretty decent, I'll rank it a Good, but perhaps Average is more like it when compared to other better movies out there!. I couldn't compare it to the NEW War of the Worlds movie with Mr. Stuck on himself Tom Cruise or the NEW Poseiden Adventure movies! They were Excellent fast paced, action Packed. Independence Day was better than Movies like Deep Impact and Volcano! Dantes Peak however takes the cake as far as natural disater movies go. Anyway with ID4, Imagine putting yourself in the shoes of one of the charecters and figuring out what you would do!! The special effects were impressive and in most cases, the movie came off very believable (if you had suspended plausible Reality!) There were a couple of instances where I was like...NO way possible did they LIVE after miraculously ducking into a locked tunnel storage room. The fire would have engulfed that room and when they crawled out of their surroundings, the entire area was descimated! I also didn't appreciate Most of Will Smith's comedy routines with the exception of when they were taking off to the mother ship! Ooops!! Overall I feel it is a worthy addition to someones DVD Library but only after they already have a copy of the other more worthwhile movies I have mentioned! With or without Popcorn, this movie was worth the watch so if you haven't seen it, do so! If you have seen it then you already have your own opinion and you shouldn't be here reading mine!!
