FRESH (A-)

The most spectacular and intriguing sci-fi action film since the 'Star Wars' trilogy. (published 7-6-96)
It is always a good sign when a movie grabs your attention so much it seemingly ends after it has just begun. "Independence Day," at two hours plus (15 minutes) has that effect.

"Independence Day," in fact, is the most spectacular and intriguing sci-fi action film since the "Star Wars" trilogy. (The first-rate "Aliens" and "Terminator 2" classify more so as sci-fi horror films.) That means the action and characterizations are stunning enough that even plausibility lapses and a talky second act hardly matter. Big bucks were spent on effects, resulting in state-of-the-art glorious. Gush break.

The action kicks in immediately as a saucer, six miles in diameter, heads toward Washington, D.C. Similar vehicles are descending upon other world capitols and major cities. Bill Pullman is cast as an American president who has to deal with imminent (within six hours) invasion. Imminent evacuation is more like it. These gargantuan ships do not even bother communicating their intentions, although Jeff Goldblum's computer whiz David does intercept a message of their plans.

Uncle Sam's best war planes have no effect on the alien vessels. So a good part of the movie's opening involves desperation and running away as virtually every monument in D.C. (including the White House) and New York City (Empire State Bldg., et al) are spectacularly blasted apart.

Enter Will Smith as jock fighter pilot Capt. Steven Hiller, who survives a dogfight with one of the hundreds of alien fighter saucers emerging from the hovercraft, and eventually gets to lead a major attack squadron against the space guys. After punching out one of the tentacled creatures, he quips, "Now that's what I call a close encounter." Sort of a Fresh Prince of Altair 1.

Clinton and Dole could never top this: "ID's" President Whitmore even dons pilot uniform and joins the fighter attack.

There are some clever inserts: a TV showing of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is interrupted as the invasion begins, and "Star Trek: Next Generation's" Brent Spiner is cast as a fright-wigged scientist. Good support, per comic relief, is provided by Judd Hirsch, Randy Quaid and Harvey Fierstein.

"Stargate" director Roland Emmerich and his effects crew deserve the major credit, however. "Independence Day" is a blast.

Answer 4

Yes... Will Smith is my favorite actor and this is definitely a movie that pushed him to star status..

it is actually a pretty inspiring story all in all... and it brings the science fiction aspect of it without pushing it over the edge...

definitely a modern classic.

Answer 5

it was alright but not one of the best movies. the reason i like it is because it acted real like what will happen if aliens came to the world. like some people would actually climb the building to talk to the aliens

Answer 6

I liked it the FIRST time I saw it. But it got successively cornier each time I saw it after that. Another movie I experienced that same phenomenon with was "The Fast And The Furious".

Answer 7

Yeah! the Movie Rocks. I like the speech towards the end by the President. it kicks ***.

Answer 8

I love it the musics by David Arnold was awsome

Answer 9

I like Will Smith.....does that count?

Answer 10

Oh gosh, that was one of the best movies.
