Independence Day (DVD) Reviews

If you look at my list of film reviews, you'll see that whilst I am certainly a fan of extremely good thought-provoking films, I also enjoy watching complete and utter rubbish! I'll leave you to guess which category Independence Day falls into... Oh, go on then. To stop you exploding with the tension, I'll tell you. Independence Day is ...

Just a couple days before the July 4th the day americans call their Independence Day, a massive unidentified spacecraft is detected entering Earth orbit. The world holds it's collective breath, as in a majestic display of raw power the Mothership offloads a fleet of enemy spacecrafts which assume intimidating position over every major city on ...

Independence Day is the 1996 film from director Roland Emmerich tackling the subject of aliens coming to the planet, and not in a good way! The director made this off the back of a run of films such as Godzilla and The Patriot, and it was considered one of the biggest blockbusters made upon its release. The Plot On the 4th ...

A bit older science fiction movie that was quite a success in its time. I own this DVD for a long time but honestly I do not know if I have watched it more that 5 times. The movie is about an alien invasion on Earth and the earthlings fighting against it. On the head of the Earhs "forces" there are a pilot Steven Hiller (Will ...

I wasn't much frequent on watching movies on the big screen back then, and only manage to watch these movies on video. I watched INDEPENDENCE DAY many years later, having missed it on both its exact release date and decade. I saw it on a post-summer night, just a few weeks after summer vacation just ended. Upon watching, I found myself enjoying ...

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 ...

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 ...

It was the day when all the big budget special effects and fantasies made real finally came home to roost ... July 4, and the coming of Independence Day, a larger than life recreation of the whole War of the Worlds phenomenon ... it was all about enormous, vivid eye candy and we were all suitably impressed by this over the top greatest story ever ...

Somehow I managed to miss Independence Day the first time round, I recently watched it and haven't been missing much. On the plus side Independence Day is dramatic in places with brilliant special effects. The downsides are it's predicitibility, melodrama and one dimensional characters. It's a good, but not original idea for ...

Independence day is probably the worst Sci-Fi film I've seen. Only special effects and a trivial, banal plot. Aliens try to invade our Earth. When their ships approached the earth some people consider them as prophets, some other as terrible enemies. Shortly after the first ship approached aliens revealed their ...

This two disc special edition, holds the never before seen extended version. The story Powerful aliens, launch an invasion against the Earth, and all the human race. Massive space ships appear,and then there is wonder and disbelief. Wonder turns to terror, when the aliens begin their attack. The space ships (and aliens) cause ...

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 ...

I remember seeing this film at the cinema and thinking it was good. On second viewing all this time later it all seems a bit dull... Lets start with the effects. They are excellent, although somewhat diminished on the small screen...the full impact isn't really quite there. But they look much better on DVD than on VHS. The ...

The 1996 big screen smash doesn't loose any of its flavour when shown on a not so large screen. The well structured storyline and great special effects help make this movie one of the best sci-fi action films of the century. Actors Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum perform excellent in their separate roles throughout the movie and as ...

Independance day, starring Will Smith, is set in the future and is definately not something that will happen anytime soon. Will smith plays a fighter plane pilot (I think) who lives with his girlfriend and her young son. When the president reports that space ships are floating in the air on independance day he goes away to try and help fight ...
