    Editorial Reviews

    Independence Day's grand-scale invasion of theaters marked it one of the biggest summer blockbusters of the 1990s. The story is simple enough: Aliens show up over the Fourth of July weekend and without reason blow up most of the world. It's up to the heroic survivors -- stern-faced president Bill Pullman, amiable Army pilot Will Smith, and plucky software programmer Jeff Goldblum among them -- to save the planet. Independence Day is a lot of things: patriotic battle cry; special effects extravaganza; really, really scary and loud. Though the film is not particularly dramatic or thought provoking, director Roland Emmerich (The Patriot) makes an entertaining ride out of fabulous effects, particularly the horrifyingly fiery obliteration of cities worldwide. Smith is fresh once again with a terrific alien-whuppin' swagger, and though Pullman's rousing Fourth of July speech before the climactic battle is not on the literary level of Henry V's St. Crispin's Day speech, it is equally motivational. A loud throwback to alien paranoia of the H. G. Wells classic War of the Worlds, ID4 more than found itself a place in sci-fi/action history, it attacked and took over. Pete Segall, Barnes & Noble

    Don't be a butt.by DEMONTHE7TH

    August 21, 2009: Oh whatever, pull your head out of your butt. This movie was a un experience. It may not have been the brightest, but atleast it was fun. That's all I ask for when I go to the movies.

    "Starring Jeff Goldblum!" We're in Trouble Now...by GrouchoMarxist

    Reader Rating:

    April 19, 2009: Whether it's Judd Hirsch's unfunny roll as a Jewish stereotype or the nonsensical plot, this movie is the epitome of a classic Hollywood blockbuster; all brawn and no brains. How can Jeff Goldblum program a computer virus on his Apple Powerbook to infect a species with technology and software completely unknown to humanity? The visuals are mildly entertaining, but like so many modern movies, this one uses special effects as a crutch rather than an aid. On the bright side, this movie never spawned a sequel, so at least there's that.
