a good movie here with great visual effects. the acting was above par and will smith scores some laughs to complement the action. the effects nearly steal the show. on the minus side, this movie has multiple flaws about the aliens,... Full review
Independence Day is really just patriotic drivel in means of plot and adventure. But the film comes into its best moments when the action sequences hit the screen. Buildings explode and men die in beautifully choreographed fashions that raise the... Full review

unlike, say, Transformers (an overpriced, overblown cinema atrocity), Independence Day is kind of enjoyable.....Looking crisp and sounding great, ID4 is a good Blu-ray and a great film to watch with friends....and boo-to-the-aliens, sci-fi action spectacular..... ... Full Review
