Independence Day [Blu-ray]

Editorial Review:

One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world's only hope lies with a determinded band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of all mankind.
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

Good Movie:

Originally had this on VHS so I bought the DVD. One of my favorite movies.

Terrible Service:

This movie was supposed to be received by the 24th? I still haven't gotten it. I'll never use this vendor again. And I want to go on record as having reviewed her/him and they're terrible!!! Worst experience I've had ordering through Amazon.

where is it?:

ordered this and others on Feb 5th, now Feb 25th, where are they? This is ridiculous. Very late now for b-day presents.....ahhhhhhhh

War of the Worlds, get a clue!:

Not a typical sci-fi flick. This one has great characters that I love to watch over and over. Okay, the world is nearly destroyed by aliens. But, add a mix of a great cast and a great story, and you have a great movie.
