Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

doctord-1 Not Caddyshack or Animal House LAUGHABLE. If you film crap, they will come. That's enough space wasted on this drivel.

barberic-695-574135 A must watch movie if you love Sci Fi. Great story, brilliant SFX, well acted, fast moving, some action. What more do I need to say. Will we watch it again in the future, absolutely even though we have watched it three times already.

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Independence Day (1996)Plot In A Paragraph: The aliens come to invade and destroy Earth. Mankind, well America, fights back on Independence Day. This is pure popcorn entertainment at its best. Ridiculously silly, so certainly don't think about it, corny as hell and featuring some seriously awkward acting, but damn if it isn't a good fun. Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum are great Of the supporting Harry Connick Jr is one annoying man. Thankfully his screen time is limited. Judd Hirsh, Robert Loggia and Randy Quaid all offer solid support, but actors like James Duval and Harvey Fierstein are awful. As for Will Smith, he is top billed in the credits, but he is not the selling point of the movie, and he doesn't appear to the 25 minute mark, but he steals the movie with a very flashy performance. Independence Day grossed $306 million at the domestic box office, to end 1996 the highest grossing movie of the year. So Will Smith joins Sly, Arnie and Tom Cruise in starring in a highest grossing movie of the year.

welshnew50 this movie is nothing but a way of saturating understanding-the-need-for-hacking (in a claim of at least counter-measures) ...AMBIGUITIES of necessity , compared to MORE SPECIFIC THINGS.that silly Dan Ackroyd one with him and bill Murray shagging the Russians while a missile's going off, did more for helping people to remember URGENCIES of various tech.this rubbish, is little more than a accept rotting, decaying, RNA-feedback,.. kinds of PRE- bio-tech ATTEMPTS at trying to get people used to certain kinds of invasions of privacy and breaches of law, in the PREMISE of belief, about what will become acceptable one day...or similarly, of a in comic books, necrotic religious gravedigger sort of character, who possesses experience with the para-dimensional, despite being a cyborg... etci.e. , 'we' know, the laws will change, so this is getting people used to it.you supposedly 'need' , to be able to create viruses... etcnothing more.pityful, compared to what the potentials of organic networks have changed in a game-changer sense, even if that was the ONLY thing you used to assess this movie with.combined with watching cowboys versus aliens, these two movies will want to make you throw up, not LEARN ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, especially sciences OUTSIDE YOUR OWN (no, that's not saying you religious lot are failing more, its saying the opposite... that scientists-too, have to go outside their own).Dismal, shallow, unimaginative, and self-important, too.
