Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Bereamic Awesome Movie
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Minahzur Rahman This was a really entertaining movie to watch back then. It's one of my favourite movies of that time, and it was something I could watch again. I use to watch it all the time whenever it appeared on television, and it was cool to watch like that. The plot was fine though it could've been way better. The only thing I didn't like about Independence Day was that there wasn't enough of the aliens; in fact, I don't think there was much at all which is bizarre. All I could see was alien spaceships, and I think there is a difference. Also, there was barely much information on who those aliens were, where they were from, and how they knew about us. If only the movie gotten those things right, Independence Day would've been far greater than it already is. But I have to admit, those spaceships were so cool, big and scary-looking. It's these spaceships that make this movie enjoyable to watch. I really liked the scene where one of the spaceship just disintegrates an entire building in mere seconds with all these people on top. The cast was great too especially Will Smith. He was what made this movie a success. He's one of the main reasons I watched this movie, and why I particularly enjoyed it. The movie was fine all the way throughout, but I wouldn't say the part towards the end was as good as the beginning or middle. The parts at the beginning and middle looked serious, but the same can't be said towards the latter end. Despite its flaws, it's still a good movie, and I'm surprised it has a lower rating than what it should be. I think it should be higher than that.
merelyaninnuendo Independence DayIt's the same survival-natured script with just another perspective with some good visuals and battles but still the audience is smarter than this.
bheadher I went to see this in the big screen, and it was pretty good...except, when I thought about it some, I realized that all the comedians were competing for the best one liners through much of the movie. That detracted from the overall experience for me personally...The story line is right out of the classic "aliens come to take over the Earth" theme, but with considerable panache this time. It seems the entire alien race lives on this humongous star ship, and even have smaller attack "shuttles" that are still 15 miles in diameter...All the actors are household names in their own right, but in this case putting them all in the same movie, each one trying to out do the other was a letdown really...Otherwise, the acting is presentable, the CGI rather well done, and it was an enjoyable experience overall...
Sameir Ali Independence Day is one of the most known films. One of the favorite films of the world. The release of the film created huge explosions in the box office.The story is happening two days before the most important day of America (July 4). A huge alien ship arrives. The panic civilians try to welcome them, but terrific attack was the result.I don't think there is any film lover who have not aware of this movie. A definitely must watch film. #KiduMovie
