Directed by: Roland
Emmerich
Starring: Will
Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum
On July 2nd, the aliens arrive and unleash hell on
Earth. On July 3rd, mankind
tries to fight back and fails miserably.
On July 4th, mankind fights back again, but they do so
intelligently. They send David Levinson
(Jeff Goldblum), the man who discovered the aliens’ communication signals, and
Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith), the only man to have survived a direct
assault by the aliens, on a suicide mission to take down the alien mother ship.
Independence Day is the king of all
disaster movies. This is the film that
established Will Smith as a true movie star.
The movie takes you on a two and half hour thrill ride full of
fast-paced action and spectacular special effects (for the time). Independence
Day definitely gets a sober rating.
It has everything we want in a great blockbuster.
