Review of Independence Day (1996) by Ydnar4 — 30 Jan 2015

Independence Day has some amazing special effects. I think they would really even hold up today. All the destruction and explosion of buildings could not be more awesome. I like the idea to go with an ensemble cast rather than focus on one hero going against an impossible enemy, but I also find that having the big cast of heroes makes the movie a little too long.

I also would have liked to see more of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum onscreen together. They were kind of an unlikely pair up and I thought they were pretty good together for the short time that they had each to work off of.
