What's the fuss about this movie? Why does everyone think so poorly of this? Well, in my opinion they compare this film to the Best Picture movies. This is not a Best Picture film, but a very entertaining popcorn film. This... Full review

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

I love the summer. It's the time every year or so, that we could sit back, relax and try to get back to your lazy self. You can go outside, fly kites, ride your bike across the countryside, go to the... Full review

Great movie, great price, great service and shipping from Amazon. The worst sci fiction movie I have seen since Ice Pirates. This particular movie helps show how nice hi def can be on a big screen, better than most. ... 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

So Bad It's Good #20 : Independence Day The boy acts like a crack-whore whose just been given $500 bucks by a cheery customer - he's way too BIG for the film (yes, there's such a thing as being too BIG for "Independence Day") , and in some respects, is seemingly only in the movie so he can deliver the smart-ass lines they'll later use in the TV commercials. ...

this was exactly the right movie.....There is no greater thrill in the movie business then when you know you are about to have a huge hit.....This film, however, was only joyous.....I'm very, very proud of INDEPENDENCE DAY and you find these movies you're professionally connected to.....I had all these people say "thanks" to Roland for making such a great movie..... ...
