Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
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:
- It's a bird... It's a plane... NO its AMERICA... YEAH!!!
I'm almost embarrassed that I thought it was good when I was a kid. Because I was too young to understand the bad points and let's face it, we don't have high demands of quality when we are young. I thought power rangers had good acting then... riiight moving swiftly on.
Anyway I watched it again a year or so ago when it was on TV and realised just how innocent I must have been.
Not only is this film crap, but its pro American theme that is used to carry the story really ... Read More
Rating:
- the aliens are coming
With a great story lined up and an A list cast all included, Independence Day broke records when released in 96, and now 12 years on it still hasn't lost any of its magic.
Will Smith (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) coming almost straight from being a rapper and starring on a network TV show got the role of a U.S pilot which put him firmly on the market as one of the hottest and youngest actors around.
Smith stars alongside Bill Pullman (While you were sleeping) and Jeff Goldblum ... Read More
Rating: - The logic of the signifier
Reviews of this film are pretty split and rightly so, it is a film that provokes many reactions. Many of the negative ones falling on the side of anti-Americanism. To those people I would ask a simple question: given a choice between the America portrayed in this film and that which we have today in 2008 which would you take?. Is this not the film that proves the logic of the Lacanian signifier, that its efficacy only appears after the fact; with S2, the signifier that grants significance to S1. S2 in ... Read More
Rating: - God bless America
Well thank god the Yanks know how to whoop some ass!!! Oh yeah!! give me five !!
A film so bad I was cheering on the Aliens until it turned out with all their technology they couldn't handle a bloody computer virus. Notice the parody of War of the Worlds here where it was the common cold virus. I can just imagine the American writing team whooping loudly at how clever and subtle that was! Probably hi fiveing each over before saluting the flag, blessing America and eating apple pie.
Rating: - Hey ain't it great to be American?
Moronic tosh of the first order. Jingoistic, crass and absurdly over patriotic. The tragedy here is that it was a box office smash on both sides of the Atlantic. Please, if you have at least three brain cells watch something (anything) else. Stretch yourself and do not encourage drivel like this by buying it.
