Review of Independence Day (1996) by Gordon H — 13 Jul 2016
A Sci-Fi Alien Invasion Classic!
Originally written May 31, 2016--.
A science-fiction alien invasion classic starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, and Judd Hirsch, 'Independence Day' focuses on a disparate group of people who converge in the Nevada desert in the aftermath of a two-day vicious and devastating alien attack and, along with the rest of the human population, participate in a last-ditch counterattack on July 4.
Wow, this movie is one of my all-time favorites! On the afternoon that this film was released, a freak power surge caused an outage across several Western states, including Idaho. I remember thinking at the time how "cool of a marketing campaign" it was! 'ID4' has some of the coolest action sequences I've ever seen! While the special effects do look a little dated by today's standards, I still highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good sci-fi action adventure story!
