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. ...

Independence Day is not a good movie.....Roland Emmerich's alien invasion movie delivers the right amount of gung-ho carnage and feel-good unity to make a memorable summer movie.....He rips into the flimsy script of Independence Day , crafting a likeability and bravado that is required for a movie of this kind to stay afloat.....However, it is good for what it is, and that is a rousing summer blockbuster.....He directs blockbusters, and blockbusters rely on bombastic action sequences above all else..... ...
