Review of Independence Day (1996) by Zane E — 29 Oct 2012
A classic? Not exactly, but a very good film nonetheless. This film follows your basic disaster plot line, with an alien invasion. The only difference is that, this one is done RIGHT. Unlike some of the crap ones that have been made recently such as 2012, Skyline, etc (oh don't worry, I'll get to my reviews on those messes later) The pace in this movie is perfect, the characters are decent, meaning we care enough about them, but at the same time, there isn't too much depth into the characters, it is just PERFECT.
Plenty of action and explosions, this disaster movie remains my favorite of it's genre, and I'm pretty sure it always will be. If someone can do better than this, then God bless. Don't watch any of the recent disaster movies that have been released, screw them all, and just watch this.
You know what they say, you seen one disaster movie, you've seen them all. And if you are going to watch any one of them, this is the one to see. Good special effects for its time, and still stand the test today.
Excellent popcorn flick.
