Summary: THE ONLY BEST OF Will Smith
Review: In a way this movie reminds me of another great movie "Armageddon". Both has the same thrill and suspense not to forget the amazing computer effects.I am not a big fan of Will Smith but I must admit that I see he did a great job... especially for giving a light sense of humor to the movie. Of course this movie wouldn't have been successful without its rich effects. And this DVD wouldn't have been rich without its extras!

Summary: THE GREATIST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
Review: WOW WOW WOW!!! never i've seen such amazement in my life. the story deals with a race of 15-mile spaceships who descend to Earth and destroy all the major cities in the world. it's up to President Whitmore ( Bill Pullman), David ( Jeff Goldblum) and Stephen Hiller ( Will Smith) to save the fourth of july from the apocalypse. It's a wonderful, imaginative, intense, movie experience filled with humor, tears, Action, Explosions, sci-fi references, and everything to fill a action/sci fi lovers taste. you must see or own this Grand and entertaining experience on DVD and it'll make you feel like you went to see it at the movies for the first time. Recommendations: The Fifth Element, Stargate, War of the Worlds, The Matrix, Starship Troopers, Total Recall, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Con Air, The Rock, Star Wars and Men in Black. ENJOY!!!!

Summary: poor, laughable and sad.
Review: independance day has lots of fancy visual effects, that is for sure. but the emptyness of the scenario and its incoherences. the VERY poor acting of the main actors, and the general blind patriotic idea of this movie makes me spit all over it. this movie has no intellectual value, and will only please teenagers in search of brainless sensations, or people who think that a decent scenario and some content are useless to make a good movie. not recommended.

Summary: great entertainment
Review: Loved it. Love it every time I watch it. It never gets old. The performances by the outstanding cast and the special effects make this one of my favorite sci-fi flicks. If you haven't seen this one yet you need to - it's a classic. Keep in mind that it was not intended to be a deadly serious film. It is highly interspersed with comic relief efforts by several fine actors, and with the exception of perhaps one scene in a stripper bar (no-she does not take all her clothes off), the film is also highly viewable by young adults. Very young children may not be ready for the violent content or the concept of real-looking aliens, but on the other hand the language is basically kid-friendly. A highly entertaining film.

Summary: aliens will not suceed
Review: I loved this movie the first time I saw it. Will smith was the best sorry Bill Pullman and Roland Emmerich will was just smashing and just puttin a lot of action destroying alien crap. So i think that you should get this movie and let it roll. Later

Summary: Simply Great
Review: What more could you possibly as for in a movie? There is action, drama, romance, special effects, fear, excitement and more all wrapped into this gem of a movie. ID4 is simply great. After purchasing it on DVD I watched for about the fifth time, and I realized that this is probably my favorite movie ever. The special effects are unparalled. The drama is there, every moment as the perilous situation changes. Bill Pullman is a refreshing politician, and the romance between Jeff Goldblum and his ex-wife (in the movie) is great. It was great that we switched between several different characters for the first part of the movie and then at the end they all came together. I admit that there are one or two corny lines, but they are overpowered by all the greatness this movie has to offer. In regards to the special features on the DVD, there is only one that I found to be really great. That was the extra footage. It was neat to see about 9 minutes of extra pieces that were not in the original movie. I found the other special features to be somewhat boring, but that's ok, I just went back and watched the movie again! If you buy one movie this year, make sure it's Independence Day!

Summary: Its a great move, stop complaining
Review: This is one of my all time favorite movies. I think the acting is excepional, and the special effects are spectacular. Most of the complaints this movie gets, I belive are undeserved. People who criticize this movie tell people to leave their IQ at home... Maybe they should have brought their IQ along to understand the movie! First the people who complain that the movie is too much focused on America.... WTF? Can you please tell me what the name of the movie is? Indepenence Day (ID4) an american holliday! c'mon get a clue, of course it is going to be biased in favor of america, it is only the most important American Holiday! another problem people have with the move is that the acting is horrible... well I wont touch much on that one since that is subject to opinon... all Ill say is watch it again... the DVD version has more of the Story intact... and watch the part where the "firt kid" says "is mommy sleeping" and the pres says "yeah... mommys sleeping" and tell me you don't feel anything.... the other problem people have a hard time with is the part, or parts i should say; where Jeff Goldblum is able to dicipher the alien code in the satilite and where he can connect to the alien ship with his laptop... first... the alien ships where using human satilites, where everything is in binary(how all our compuers are Binary)... and Jeff Being a 8 year MIT Grad probably has a good understanding of reading binary... and all he did was find a hidden binary code that wasnt supposed to be there, he filtered it out and realized that it was a count down(in short). the one that most people have a problem with is when he interfaces with the alien ship using his laptop.... well think about it! they have had an alein ship there to study for 30+ years... how do you think they were studing the alien technology?with computers! Im sure they developed some sort of interface adapter to the alien technology that allowed our computers to interface with alien computers... what, you want them to show you how they make it so you know it works and then you can say this is a beliveable movie? C'mon guys Use your IQ you have so much of, take it to the movie next time, im sure youll like it the movie much more. the only issue with the movie are the shortcuts it takes... like when will smith finds his girlfriend among the rubble of EL Toro, or when he finds Area 51 with the RV caravan. or how Wills girlfriend finds the first lady, or how Jeff's girl friend is in a position to get a meeting with the president So Jeff can Give the critical info to the pres just in time... but all that is to just make the movie more fun. thats all the movie tries to be... just a Kick A$$ joy ride! enjoy it for what it is and don't cut it down for something that it isn't even trying to be.

Summary: One of the best DVDs yet
Review: Fox has really outdone itself this time by releasing a DVD so full of content that you could spend literally hours reading and watching all the content. There are storyboards galore, many, many, trailers and TV spots, and several featurettes, and of course, the alternate ending. The movie deals with alien invaders taking out all the major cities, and it's up to a group of survivors led by the president to take out spaceships. This is a very fun movie, especially with the 5.1 sound. You will not believe how much better this movie is with digital sound! It feels like you are in the cockpit with will smith! This DVD is a great buy.

Summary: I love this movie
Review: I don't love it because it's great filmmaking; I love it because it is BIG, and FUN, and really MOVES. The effects are astounding. Even more so once you spend some time with the bonus features and find out about how they're done.

Summary: Its an okay summer movie to rent
Review: Independence Day is a simple plotted movie, in which aliens try to take over the world. The lead star is Will Smith who is a fighter pilot who fights and eventually destoys the alien mother ship. The special effects are awesome in this movie, particularly the fighter combat sequences. But like many new sci-fi movies this one lacks good acting and story line. The actor who plays the president is disgusting. His character in my opinion is so wimpy and uhhhh it makes me cringe watching some of the scenes where they try to create a plot. Particularly where the president's wife dies. You really have to see this scene yourself, but it is so fake. This movie could have been so much better if the director would have put more money and effort into developing a more complex plot, with better actors other then Will Smith; who is awesome in this film. Overall, this movie is okay if your a scifi freak, but other then the action it is not that good and not really worth buying.
