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 |

Talk about fireworks!!!!!!!!! |
One of the best summer blockbusters to come out, Independence Day succeeds on every level.
A great script, great acting, super acting, the movie is bigger than life and twice the fun.
Awesome FX, I'm shocked Hollywood hasn't tried to do a sequel..........yet.
A must see for action, sci fi fans.
Recommended!!!

Blu-Ray botch-up |
After watching the first twenty minutes of this film I had to eject the disc. Having watched the DVD countless times, there is a natural progression of the plot. The Blu-Ray version seems to have thrown all cohesion out the window in favor of god knows what, by deleting multiple scenes. These scenes assist in character development.
It just amazes me that here we have 30+GB of space on Blu-Ray, plenty THEY SAY to have all sorts of extra content, but not the whole movie?
I gave it two stars because I just can't force myself to give one of my favorite movies a single star.
I suppose a few years from now a "Limited" edition Blu-Ray will pop up with those missing eight minutes... |
