The question of whether we're alone in the universe has finally been answered. And, in a matter of minutes, the lives of every person across the globe are forever changed. With the fate of our planet at stake, the Fourth of July is about to take on an entirely new meaning. No longer will it be an American holiday.

    Great SFX wasted on a poor script. Is it a modern day B-movie but not as good as the old school ones. It gets so schmaltzy towards the end, I?d rather watch Mars Attacks, at least the humour isn't out of place there as it is here! How they beat the aliens is also, incredibly bad.

    "We've always believed we weren't alone. Pretty soon, we'll wish we were."

    The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy. Fighting superior technology, Man's best weapon is the will to survive.

    This film is a blast to watch, plain and simple. Sure, there isn't a great deal of character development and the plot is very straight forward, but not every movie has to be that way to be awesome. The movie grabs your attention from beginning to end and is very enjoyable throughout. Sure there are some lulls, but the more tense scenes make up for everything and then some. Will Smith is in his classic character here, full of his usual pep and one liners. The others put in good efforts as well, I particularly like Goldblum's role as the cable repairman. The special effects are good, the music is great, and I absolutely adore Bill Pullman's "independence day" speech. That alone makes this movie worth watching.

    Even though I'm not terribly fond of this movie, I think I've seen it about 10 times already. My husband loves watching Will Smith kick ET's ass.

    "The Freak Show". I love this film - nice mix of action and sci-fi with a few laughs

    its not a movie you can watch over and over again but how often does a movie about an alien apocalypse make you actually care for the characters. I'd say the script was very solid and the acting was amazing. There could have possibly been some more gripping action which would hav...( read more)e given it the replayability i look for in movies. in the end its still a staple in special effects and sci fi movies and will no doubtably one day become a classic.
