Independence Day (DVD) ... Will Smith, Bill Pullman ... / DVD released 17 May, 2004 at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL / In Independence Day, a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum once actually had a fistfight with a man (Bill Pullman) who is now president of the United States. That same president, late in the film, personally flies a jet fighter to deliver a payload of missiles against an attack by extraterrestrials. Independence Day is the kind of movie so giddy with its own outrageousness that one doesn't even blink at such howlers in the plot. Directed by Roland Emmerich, Independence Day is a pastiche of conventions from flying-saucer movies from the 1940s and 1950s, replete with icky monsters and bizarre coincidences that create convenient shortcuts in the story. (Such as the way the girlfriend of one of the film's heroes--played by Will Smith--just happens to run across the president's injured wife, who are then both rescued by Smith's character who somehow runs across them in alien-ravaged Los Angeles County.) The movie is just sheer fun, aided by a cast that knows how to balance the retro requirements of the genre with a more contemporary feel. --Tom Keogh

Well you've probably guessed it, this is a review about the action packed, alien saga Independence day, released on July 3rd 1996, and starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman. This is to date my favourite Will Smith action will along side Bad Boys 1 and 2. It's probably the movie that made Will Smith into an international box office success, and was certainly a step up from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I was actually a huge fan of this film, and I would have to say it ranks in my all time top 5 action film list; it had a great cast, a great plot, and superb special effect scenes. Plot Outline: Well it's what you might expect of an action ...

About two years ago, I saw this film for the first time on VHS and then decided to buy it on dvd to see how much better the quality was. To say the least, I was disappointed. The quality isn't improved at all, The makers have just added extra features to the disc(s). At the time of purchase I paid £11.99 for this 2 disc DVD, which is quite good considering the price you pay for DVD's these days lol. Disc one is entitled ''The Invasion''. It includes: *The Special Edition, with 9 minutes of restored footage,plus the original theatrical version. *Scene-specific commentary by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin *Commentary by ...

Premium Review Independence Day (DVD): American Values in ID4 (1626 words)

A Country’s ideology is the ideas that reflect the beliefs and interests of a nation, political system etc, and underlies political action in that country. In a film these ideas include what the film suggests is good and something to value and aspire to, and what is seen as bad and, therefore, should be rejected. In Independence Day, directed by Roland Emmerich, American Society is portrayed in many different ways. In the film, this will affect the audience depending on their beliefs, and attitudes. It also affects the way the audience will feel about American Society, whether it is good to be an American and what values should they have and ...
