A sci-fi story constellation of the brightest star elements. With German director Emmerich at the helm, Independence Day soars as filmic uber-craft. Full Review

...For fun, fright and thrills, there's not a wilder joy ride around...

Rating: A -- Never professes to be anything more than escapist entertainment, with enough "gee whiz" pyrotechnics to enthrall audiences. Full Review

It may be film-making by numbers, but the numbers are the right ones, and they fall into place with a satisfying clunk. This is everything a blockbuster should be. Full Review

Roland Emmerich’s sci-fi disaster film scores so many points: alien invaders destroying the White House in epic fashion, Jeff Goldblum going full Goldblum, etc.

I think what's great about this is the re-watchability factor of it, you can put it on at any time, watch it, have a great time with it, and show it to other generations. Full Review

Product 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.
