Captain Steven Hiller: Welcome to earth [punches alien in the face]
Now that's what I call a close encounter.
A whole lot of fun. Effects that hold up well today, that contagious Will Smith charm. Just a fun popcorn movie.
It may be difficult to explain why ID4 is a better movie than Armageddon or War of the Worlds, but the simple answer is that it is just more fun to watch.
Unlike Armageddon, this movie is able to effectively balance the campy B-movie quality of the movies premise and the epic scale.
Capt. Jimmy Wilder: You scared, man?
Captain Steven Hiller: No. You?
Capt. Jimmy Wilder: No. Hold me.
Captain Steven Hiller: Hey, pay attention!
Lt. Colonel Watson: Something you want to add to this briefing, Captain Hiller?
Captain Steven Hiller: No Sir, just a little anxious to get up there and whoop E.T.'s ass, that's all!
Ginormous alien space crafts come to earth to destroy us in a very Hollywood movie way and its up to the combined talents of Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, and Randy Quaid to stop them.
Gen. Gray: Mr. President, I'd sure like to know what you're doing.
President Thomas Whitmore: I'm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air.
They succeed of course. This is thanks to Will Smith one-liners, Jeff Goldblum one-liners, Judd Hirsch one-liners, Randy Quaid kicking ass the alcoholic way and a surprisingly effective Bill Pullman as President of the United States making a speech towards the end of the film that is always a good listen.
Video Newscaster: [TV news anchor reporting] Once again, the L.A.P.D. is asking Los Angelenos not to fire their guns at the visitor spacecraft. You may inadvertently trigger an interstellar war.
The effects are still good and this movie has fun with what goes on, despite the horrific destruction that goes on. This was always one of my favorite movie going experiences when I first saw it in theaters and for good reason, it's really entertaining.
Captain Steven Hiller: THAT'S RIGHT! Thats what you get! Look at you, ship all banged up! WHOSE THE MAN? HUH? WHOSE THE MAN? Wait until I get another plane! I am going to lower your friends RIGHT BESIDE YOU! -
MCT:May 20, 2008It's an ultra-spectacular cosmic adventure. It's War Of the Worlds for the 90's. A mind-blowing good time. An awsome and incrediablely fun movie. Unforgettable and unmissable. A pure exhilerating rollar-coaster ride of non-stop explosive action, gigantic thrills and incrediable fun.

A normal summer’s day turns into a worldwide catastrophe. Without warning enormous spacecraft appear in the atmosphere of Earth. After a countdown hidden in the world’s satellites leads to an alien attack that exterminates over half the Earth’s population, the people of Earth have to regroup and fight back. Now the regrouped remaining survivors of the initial attack have banded together to ensure that freedom is restored and the destruction of mankind is stopped.
Independence Day is a movie that cannot be taken seriously. The movie really needs to be looked at a popcorn flick with no thought of the cheesy lines and unbelievable plot. Special effects that are state of the art and the natural feel good of man’s survival are what make this movie a winner. Wil Smith’s screen presences also boast the film not matter how ludicrous and poorly the movie maybe. Independence Day gets three and half aliens out of five for delivering a strong popcorn action flick with astonishing special effects that will boggle the mind. -
