Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 09/30/2008 Run time: 147 minutes Rating: Pg13

Amazon.com essential video:
In Independence Day, a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum once actually had a fistfight with a man (Bill Pullman) who is now president of the United States. That same president, late in the film, personally flies a jet fighter to deliver a payload of missiles against an attack by extraterrestrials. Independence Day is the kind of movie so giddy with its own outrageousness that one doesn't even blink at such howlers in the plot. Directed by Roland Emmerich, Independence Day is a pastiche of conventions from flying-saucer movies from the 1940s and 1950s, replete with icky monsters and bizarre coincidences that create convenient shortcuts in the story. (Such as the way the girlfriend of one of the film's heroes--played by Will Smith--just happens to run across the president's injured wife, who are then both rescued by Smith's character who somehow runs across them in alien-ravaged Los Angeles County.) The movie is just sheer fun, aided by a cast that knows how to balance the retro requirements of the genre with a more contemporary feel. --Tom Keogh




Rating: - One of Will Smith best movie
This is the one that started Will Smith movie career. Best movie from Will Smith

Rating: - A Fun Flick
Independence Day is a comic book movie and is best enjoyed watching it with that mind set.

The Blu-Ray version of this movie is amazing although I was disappointed to see a black dot artifact hanging around on the upper left portion of the screen during the opening and for the first several minutes of the movie.

But overall, it is a good transfer and the sound is incredible.

Rating: - Won't work in Europe!
I ordered this BluRay from Germany, but unfortunately it won't work
in my BD Player (PS3) because it proteced with a stupid region Code.

Now what sense does it make to protect BluRays that are also available in Europe and partially older releases?

Well, be advised european customers, DO NOT buy this BD unless your player can handle it (there is only very few)...

Rating: - ruined by goldblum
This movie could have been better if Jeff Goldblum and religion was left out. Jeff goldblum sucks as an actor. He ruined the Jerassic Park movies but, fits "The Fly" movie fine. Why is being Jewish a concern in this movie? It could have been left out! This movie could have been much better if changed in other ways also.Jeff G has no acting skill!

Rating: - War of the Worlds
I don't know how to explain to somebody that likes this why this movie sucks. Here's a few random things that come to mind in no particular order: 1) Will Smith is an uninteresting actor except for when he was in MEN IN BLACK and some other movie I can't remember the title of. 2) Bill Pullman is the president. 3) The president is one of the heros of the movie. LAME. Presidents are cowards and frauds that would hide in a bunker somewhere. 4) The plot is dumb and sucks; particularly the silly backstory ... Read More
