Summary: Earth Rules
Review: This movie can entertain, if you do not think too much about the details of its plot. The aliens are here supposedly for our natural resources. They are space nomads, as it were, moving from planet to planet, robbing their natural resources. Real barbarians. Of course, a civilization capable of such a technological feat would not need our natural resources to begin with. ALL of our natural resources put together are not nearly adequate to accomplish a fraction of such intergalactic travel. Well, this is a movie.The special effects are fantastic, the acting is OK. The plot is not very rational and largely derivative. At any rate, it's nice to know we can defeat vicious aliens, if they ever get here. Perhaps we can also defeat some social problems here on Earth. More independence from crime and violence would be an excellent start.

Summary: Virus vs. virus
Review: Good flick for those needing a ton of special effects. The critics did not seem to like the film, but I enjoyed it. I had always thought it was interesting that the aliens were beaten with a computer virus (from a Mac computer) - just like Wells' aliens in "War of the Worlds" (1898) were beaten by an organic virus.

Summary: More summer money making crap!!!
Review: It had very good fx, but was a very stupid movie...like when Will Smith got into a dogfight with an alien craft and won(luckly), walks up to the craft opens the hatch and punches the alien in the face....it was a kids movie. why is it aliens always have arms, fingers,two eyes,one head, and its allways a round saucer...wish hollywood would make a real alien movie, the closest one so far was Alien 1. on another note I think aliens have already been here its just that we don't have the preception to understand, just like us walking over a blade of grass....

Summary: Still Enjoyable
Review: ID4 delivers the fun.You can still get the "summer blockbuster" goosebumps watching it again. Only the the most ardent fans will pick out the 9 min. of additional footage, until you view the theatrical version. The supplements were good. And a nice interface for the menus also. A "must have" for all Sci-Fi fans

Summary: An Outstanding DVD Package!
Review: Studios are finally getting the whole DVD thing! This is a truly worth-your-money deal with lots of extras including two versions of the film; the first version is the original theatrical release and the second version is a directors cut featuring about 9 minutes of added footage not released in theatres. What's really great about this is they list what new scenes have been included and some of them are really funny and some of them make the story a lot more heartfelt. Also included is a second disc that includes a really cool mockumentary called "The ID4 Invasion" which is truly a priceless gem in this great collection. Also, there is commentary, lots of interviews with cast and crew, a special effects documentary on the making of the film and the original biplane ending which unfortunately looks really hokey and what I felt after watching it was-THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T GO WITH THAT ENDING-THAT ENDING WOULD'VE MADE THIS MOVIE A "REAL" DISASTER! For a product like this under $30 it is totally worth your money. For those who appreciated this movie as a special effects funfest, this DVD is not one to be passed up. For those of you boring types who felt this movie needed a "serious acting edge" buy Out of Africa and leave science fiction alone! Cheers!

Summary: the way a dvd should be done!
Review: fox did it right when they released this dvd..it's loaded with features(on disc 2)and the film looks and sounds great! disc 2 makes it worth the price and i'd personally like to see all dvd releases have as many features as this one does.

Summary: Not for the film festival, but great for fun!
Review: So ID4 wouldn't be a hit at the film festival . . . We watched American Beauty and ID4 on the same night (our own little Sundance!), and even though the two movies are about as far apart as possible, both kept our evening guests riveted. Hey, this movie is a suspension of reality, visual candy, and has charachters you can relate to. Maybe not so different from American Beauty after all! Give your brain a rest, and enjoy yourself.
