This is a great classic 4th of july american movie. Give you a great sense of pride in the drive for human kind to survive against all odds and shows how when forced with adversity the human mind will innovate!
Get this one or the last Special Editon because they are the same Edition. Just make sure you don't get fooled by the Limited Edition, it's basically barebones with 2 cuts of the movie. This edition and the newer one has both cuts plus a ton of features, it's a 2 disc set.
Love the actors and the characters they play. Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum have a quirky chemistry that really works! Cheesy parts can be overlooked because of the over all humorous entertainment the movie gives.
Fast shipping and arrived in Great Shape. Great Ebayer and would buy from them in the future. I feel that I bought this DVD for a GREAT PRICE!!!! Thanks
Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum are excellent in this comedy thriller. I say comedy because of the antics between the 2 actors. One of the best movies ever made!
This was an excellent movie because of the special effects and the much much action that I never expected. This is a movie that you don't mind sharing with friends.
im not sure why but this is a movie i like because is sci fi and i guess some of the actors have been in other movies i have liked and i guess with them in it and it being sci fi is the reason i like it. its got good action and a couple different side stories like the marriage and the dispute between the husband and the president also the affair of a military officer with a stripper with class and him wanting to be an astronaut and then realizing the love and getting married. you also have a guy thats misunderstood about his abduction by aliens and then becoming a hero to his kids in the end. i guess it had about everything in a movie action sci fi love and a coming together to eliminate the problem.
Ohh This movie is well written! Add in a Great Director, Fantastic actors and GREAT Special Affects and it is a WOW experience!! I STRONGLY suggest you get the wide screen version so you can enjoy ALL the special effects. Some of the effects, when viewed in "Formatted to fit your screen" are lost BUT the action and acting still carries it through. Still even with a TV that shows wide screen in "Letter Box" I cannot stress enough the added wonder of the special effects
This is a good movie for almost all ages. I have viewed it several times alone and with my kids and grandkids! Please Enjoy it!!!! Have a good day.
This movie is one of Will Smith's best. Great movie with a wonderful message!! The message in this movie is about unity among the world. At this point in time we need that. The president in this movie delivers a great message that can be shared by all! I highly reccomend it!!
I WOULD HIGH RECOMMEND THIS INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE TO ANYONE, WHO APPRECAITE FREEDOM. I GOT TO ADMIT THE TALE OF THIS STORY WAS INCREDIBLE. IT GIVE ME A DEEP THOUGHT ON HOW AND WHAT WE DO IN LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT. LIFE HAS ITS FUN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN DAY TO DAY. THERE ARE SO MANY TWIST AND TURNS. I AM GREATFUL WHAT I HAVE. WE ARE PUT ON EARTH FOR SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE GOT TO USE EVERY DAY, MINUTES AND SECONDS TO THE MAX.
I bought the original version as well as going to the theatre to see this film. I was blowed away at the story line, the acting, special effects. For any sci-fi fanatic, this is the film to see. It offers, second to none in special effects that will hold you from the beginning to end. This movie is a tradition for me, I watch it every July 3rd and brings me back to what Independence day should be all about.

Independence Day, the "perfect" movie. Kinda.

by: flamepillar -- a member of Epinions
Pros: One problem, one solution. Interesting cast of characters. Advocates world peace.
Cons: Video game ad that gives it away; may be disturbing because of you-know-what.
Up until now, I always thought of Independence Day as one of those "perfect movies". One problem, one solution, and a hell of a presentation. Basically, Independence Day has got all of this. Now I sit here trying to figure out exactly what it seems to be missing that I never noticed before. And dog-gone it, I just can't put my finger on it. So, perhaps I should take the advice of the Mad Hatter. Start at the beginning. And when you come to the end, stop. Independence Day is one of those aliens-attack-Earth movies that is so utterly ordinary that it winds up actually being pretty good. Five...

Independence Day is a Masterpiece of Science Fiction, Action, Drama, Comedy and Romance!

Pros: Extensive cast, incredible special effects
Cons: Because it's a science fiction program, many will be turned off by it
Even though I have a DVD player now, there are only a few movies that I would consider purchasing for our home library at the present time. Compared to DVD prices, VHS still rules as it is very easy to purchase quality movies for less than $5 on VHS that may cost $25 on DVD. However, I did break down yesterday and purchase a great two DVD set of a movie that I believe is one of the greatest productions of all time, Independence Day. Independence Day Sounds Boring Right? At first, the title may sound rather boring to individuals because it appears to be historical -- the Independence Day of...

Reifying Racial Mythology 101: Use Your Allusion
Review created: 06/17/01
by: Sloucho -- a member of Epinions
Pros: The aliens are destroyed.
Cons: Our species, alas, seems destined to survive.
In her ongoing struggle to persuade me that we bought a surround sound system for a reason, Mrs. Sloucho subjected me to Independence Day last night. In some ways ID4 isn't anywhere near as bad as I expected it to be; in other ways, it's worse. But there are enough spiffy moments and explosions that one is obliged to overlook the formulaic plot complications and the atrocious dialogue and to acknowledge the film for the triumph of mediocrity that it is. ID4 sees the world the way many of the people of my parents' generation saw it: Blacks are workers (Will Smith's character manages to take...

Independence Day --- Non-stop action and extremely good special effects carry this film

Pros: high-octane, very fast pace, impressive special effects, intriguing story
Cons: predictable
It s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine.* Photographs from space show that something big is coming towards Earth, and it becomes obvious early on, that this is an advanced technology far beyond ours. It turns out to be a mother ship that spawns off many smaller ships that are also miles wide in diameter. The ships themselves strongly resemble small flying cities, but for some reason they are heading towards major cities around the world. Within the United States they settle over Los Angeles, New York City, and Los Angeles, without any indication of what their plans might be..

Day By Day

Pros: It's entertaining and it moves.
Cons: The script is dreadful -some of the performances not much better.
Filming continues on Flying Down to Reno and I had a hectic morning on the set as we began the camera set-ups for my big solo number, I Could Have Crashed All Night. My make-up call was something of a nightmare as the Chuck E. Cheese cleaning crew had misplaced my jars of Lesterene Strawberry Pancake Number 2 and the Avocado/Shrimp cleanser that I absolutely must have to be my radiant and lovely self on camera. Fortunately, I had a spare Lesterene Spam/Pineapple exfoliant in my bag and was able to start with that while the production assistants searched the dumpster for my beauty products....
