    An exciting film that delivers good moments of cinema with its excellent special effects. It was too cliché, however, and Will Smith is good but just plays his now standard character.

    INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996)
    directed by Roland Emmerich
    starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman

    «I saw... its thoughts. I saw what they're planning to do. They're like locusts. They're moving from planet to planet... their whole civilization. After they've consumed every natural resource they move on... and we're next. Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards.»

    Aliens are invading Earth, destroying every single big city in this H.G. Wells-type of disaster movie. Its campy and its fun.

    James Cameron showed us the possibilities of computer generated visual effects when he made Terminator 2 in the early 90's. Then Steven Spielberg proved that they were more than worthy and realistic with Jurassic Park a few years later. Independence Day is probably the following big blockbuster movie to use them on such a big scale, but in this case, the plot was all just another bad reason to spend money and make more, showing us gigantic flying saucers.

    ID4 is a big pile of crap, but it smells good. This is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures, and Im not the only one in that situation. The acting it crap, the dialogues are laughable and the music is way too manipulative, but its fun, as long as you understand how stupid the film really is. Nothing makes sense and there are way too many characters who seem to understand everything too quickly but this is the type of film that before watching, you should know you are supposed to forget your brain in your wallet. It doesnt pretend to be great, unlike Michael Bay's movies.

    Every reviewer always says this is one of their guilty pleasures. Why should anyone feel guilty about liking this movie? It's not a cinematic masterpiece. It wasn't filmed to ever become one. It's a summer blockbuster that's funny, has great special effects, brisk in pace, and has an awesome pre-battle speech. What more could you want from this type of movie? I loved it when it came out in theaters and I still love it to this day.

    Ahhh, beautiful. Complete with modest heroic comedy from Will Smith and a last-minute plot-saving epiphany as only Jeff Goldblum can deliver.

    This was awsome, especially the air battles which will keep you entertained every second. Not unlike the rest of the movie really.
