Summary: Put your brain to sleep and enjoy the ride!
Review: There are some movies that are designed to intellectually challenge the viewer. This wasn't one of them. This movie is a tongue-in-cheek look at the old formula.... Aliens come to take over Earth. Mankind is on the verge of being wiped out. Mankind uses its ingenuity and indominable spirit and band together to defeat the aliens against incredible odds. This is a movie that may very well have set out to poke fun at its own genre, which is something it must be commended for, intended or not. Don't you think they knew that the audience would find it ridiculous that the scientist's laptop would easily interface with the alien computer? Don't you think they knew they were presenting us with characters who are the stereotypes of the "unlikely heroes"? Don't you think that they knew how unlikely it would be that an alien craft would use a flight stick so similar to one used in a fighter plane and would be easily usable by humans? Of course they did. Fact is that this is a visually incredible movie with a plot that holds the viewer at the edge of thier seat. I've watched the video many times and feel that this is a movie to buy and put in your archive. It's a spectacular piece of eye candy and you can't help but root for the good guys. So grab your popcorn, sit back, put your brain to sleep, and enjoy the ride. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Five Stars!
Review: This Dvd is action packed with new and exciting stuff. i can't even begin to say how much stuff this DVD has. it would excede my 1,000 word limit. I know that this Special Edition DVD has some easter Eggs. I have been trying o find them all day today, but i can't find them. i am getting kinda mad. my boss is about to fire me because i am not doing any work. but anyways, this DVD also features 2 games! with a month free of an online only game. but beyond all of this, THERE IS THE MOVIE. and what a great movie this is. probably the best will smith movie, the movie that made him a household name for sure. well this movie is the greatest, and you should go buy it right now. i dont' care where you buy it, just go buy it and watch it with your family.

Summary: ID4: Special Edition DVD -- WOW!
Review: I just got this dvd and finally got through all the materials included on this dvd, and all I have to say is wow! There is so much packed into 2 discs its crazy. First off, I really love this movie to begin with, so this set is for any ID4 fan. On disc one there is a special edition of this movie with about 9 minutes of additional footage, although it actually seems like a lot less. Nothing major added, just some addition to add to the scene development. It also has the original theatrical release on disc one if you want to watch that. The second disc is packed with suppliments. My favorite was seeing an alternate ending using the biplane, it was quite funny and i'm a little surprised they didnt stick with that one. There is also a neat hidden easter egg on this disc which most people will likely miss. Goto the Data Console, then highlight main menu, then press the right arrow key to highlight the red LED on the computer and press enter. The spaceship in the background will start to move, once it lets you, quickly go back to the main menu and press 7 then 4 and enter and it will kick you inside the ship where it has a lot of cool extra features. All in all this is a great dvd, the 3d menus are very similar to The Abyss SE Dvd, which i also loved. If you own a dvd player, get this now! :)

Summary: Just 'cus it's "only a movie" doesn't mean it has to stink
Review: forgive me if I'm wrong, but Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard, Terminator, etc. were just fun action movies, but they were good.

Summary: Just a fun movie...
Review: Every movie doesn't have to be an Oscar contender. Sometimes it's nice just to sit down and watch a fun movie. ID4 fits the bill. Just watch and enjoy.

Summary: One of the finest films of its type ever made.
Review: You've probably seen Independence Day already. So you know what to expect. The special edition DVD has an extra 9 minutes of footage, much of it slightly redundant, but at least it's not like the T2 special edition where the film's pacing gets affected. The special features aren't quite as good as, say, Fight Club's (although I haven't found the Easter Eggs yet), but, for an audio-visual experience, this is one DVD you've really got to own. The documentaries are standard promotional stuff (although the 'mockumentary' is quite a cute idea), the trailers are actually interesting, and the commentary tracks are.....well, make up your own mind. But buy the DVD, because it's an excellent showpiece disc.

Summary: An Amazing DVD. Period!
Review: WOW! As soon as my copy of ID4 arrived I turned up the volume and let her fly. I have seen hundreds of DVD's and this one takes the cake. The sound transfer is amazing. DVD's like this one is the reason I have spent so much money on my system. My system loved this movie. The picture quality is superb, and the added 9 minutes that are added seemlessly are great. The best "bonus" feature for me personaly was the inclusion of the Apple Computer ad that ran when the film was in theaters- "Macintosh, the power to save the world". I was praying that it would be there, and it was! This is not my favorite movie, but it is my favorite DVD. This is the one to show off your system to your friends and family!

Summary: Great on DVD
Review: I had Independence Day on Laserdisc, which was great. Now on DVD it is even better. On the one disc you can have either the orginial theatrical version or the special edition with the added footage. On the second disc was the making of the movie, and the biplane ending. This is one of the best movies I have on DVD. The sound and picture was excellent.

Summary: The only real way to see this film.
Review: A great set with all the extras that you could want from a DVD special edition - directors' commentary and special effects supervisors'. Behind the scenes and other goodies. The movie is as always great with the spectacular scenes only improved with 5.1 sound.
