What our customer's say!

"Decent movie, above average transfer", Idependence Day is more or less pure brainless entertainment, and that's all it's meant to be. It does this very well, with fast pacing, lots of explosions and interpersonal drama. The effects have held up a lot better than I'd have thought they would as well. It isn't a movie to watch for social commentary or anything like that: pop it in, grab some beer and pizza and enjoy.

The Blu Ray version of the movie is *very* impressive. They added a little bit of extraneous footage but nothing damaging (I think it was probably just a few minutes total anyway), and the picture quality was above and beyond what I'd expect. This particular movie helps show how nice hi def can be on a big screen, better than most. There are details I just never could have made out on DVD. I didn't think the audio was as impressive as the visual, but it was still certainly decent. They obviously cleaned up the source material before pressing to Blu Ray. There aren't a whole lot of extras, but this isn't the sort of movie to really benefit from those anyway IMO.

"The worst sci fiction movie I have seen since Ice Pirates.", What a joke of a movie, it only got good attendance because of the special affects. It stunk when it came out and it still stinks. Overacting, bad lines, and stupid plot. Example it took 2 weeks to train civilians to be f-18 fighter pilots. Harry Connick Jr is a joke of an actor. Will Smith is over rated and over acts. Like how the alien space craft they hijacked had seats made for humans and not the aliens that have no legs or butts. Terrible movie, but what do you expect from the makers of Godzilla and 10000 BC.

"Modern PC Stereotypes and Fear of "the other"", No wonder this movie is so popular. It combines state-of-the-art CGI explosions with jingoistic nonsense and modern PC stereotypes. The kids get their explosions, the conservatives get their war on, and the liberals get their modern stereotypes and everyone goes home happy.

Ah conservatives, gird your loins, men, because they are coming, whoever "they" are. Sometimes a "real American" has to fight to save the world from smelly aliens. Being the best country in the world is such a drag because everyone else is so incompentent, jealous and ungrateful. Fortress America because everyone is else is dangerous and/or stupid.

Ah liberals, so easily pleased. A hip black dude who happens to be intelligent and successful teams up with a money and power distaining cool Jewish nerd to save the world. The movie even has a non-minority sidekick who dies heroically halfway through the movie. What a givaway. Isn't it cool that the First Lady and a black stripper have a special moment. How open-minded and modern of her...the black stripper, I mean. We should all feel sorry for alcoholics but, admit it, they're fun to watch. Little old Jewish men who say the word "mensch" in the White House and drive ten miles an hour are adorable. The nice, caring gay guy gets zapped while trying to drive to his mom's house. Man, that Manhattan traffic is just killer.

The President is a selfish jerk who should leave the fighting to the professionals. I liked the explosions.

"In Your Pants Day", This is a great film until you get to the part where Will Smith punches the alien and says "Welcome to Earth". And then the wheels come off big style. Lots to like in this film, V-Style giant dustbin lid flying saucers, lots of action, but the gung-ho lameness of the "USA, USA" patriotism is the sort of stuff that has the 5 and three quarter billion people in the world who are not American covering their eyes with embarrassment. It is somehow fitting that the climax to the film involves Randy Quaid flying up the bottom of one of the giant binlids..still, as a man, we need a fix of explosions and aliens and jets and stuff like that, and there is plenty of that going on. And just in case you think I'm a big meany, I quite liked Battlefield Earth apart from the hideously lame end (and insult to all Harrier Jump-Jet Pilots everywhere), and "War of the Worlds" which also had a totally lame end, although I'm sure a positive impact on real-estate prices in downtown Boston (handy for the shops and alien proof!). I'm sure that if an ill tempered alien race had the technology to send a fleet of giant binlids interstellar distances, they could crush us like ants without even taking their alien sausage sandwiches out of their mouths.

Mind you, if they did arrive, I expect that the Number One quisling collaborator in their alien conquest would be Tom Cruise. Why, he is probably talking to them already, by e-mail. Why does this tinfoil hat make my head itch?


"no plot, no surprise", The scenario (if any) is so predictable, the clichés so evident, it's hard not to fall asleep.

"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 between the president and Jeff Goldblum. 5) The name of the movie is lame. INDEPENDENCE DAY. Right. First we kicked British --- and now the aliens. America Rules!!! USA! USA! USA! America is saves the planet. The way the aliens are defeated- Lol! OK, "it's just a movie". It was a virus that destroyed them like in some other story about an alien invasion, but this time one for the alien's computers. "Star Wars" for the next generation I spot a reviewer claim?! SAY WHAT?? Sorry, that reviewer doesn't got a clue. And comparing it to STARSHIP TROOPERS? No, that is completely wrong. Saying this movie is better than STARSHIP TROOPERS is a complete misunderstanding of what STARSHIP TROOPERS was about. They didn't get it. STARSHIP TROOPERS is both a brilliant satire AND highly entertaining, well crafted sci-fi adventure flick in certain aspects masquerading as a B movie as well as perfect parody of WWII propaganda films. TROOPERS lightheartedly calls the viewer's attention to the propensity of propagandized humans for senseless violence without conscience, comicly using a war of humans versus mindless, souless, agressive "bugs" to make the point. Stuff that works: I like seeing the White House explode and other stuff. The alien ships look pretty cool.

"Brilliant entertainment", You don't need the philosophies of Plato or Schopenhauer or Descartes to watch this film. Watch it for what it is: an suspenseful action-packed sci-fi film. Although it does seem a bit long (just over 140 minutes), the film doesn't seem to drag at all. The subplots are interesting, and the special effects won't really disappoint. The actors and their characters are memorable (the chemstry between Goldblum and Hirsch is a plus for the father-and-son genre). David Arnold's music is spectacular, and it's one of my favorite scores. And finally, I don't really mind the overpatriotism found in this film, just as long as I can focus on the action and the aliens.

"Flawed yet still fun disaster flick", Before superpowered crimefighting men in tights dominated the summer movie landscape, there were asteroids (Armageddon, Deep Impact), tornadoes (Twister), and giant lizards (Godzilla) destroying national landmarks that caused people to flock to their air-conditioned movie theaters in the summer months. But the film that seemingly started it all was 1996's Independence Day.

Directed by Roland Emmerich and produced by Emmerich and his partner (or in most cases, co-offender) Dean Devlin, the "masterminds" behind the so-so sci-fi film Stargate. While on the press junket for Stargate, they were questioned about their belief in aliens, which they responded that one day we may wake up to find alien spaceships in the sky. At that moment, the concept for their next film was born.

Some call Independence Day "the Star Wars of the 90's", but Independence Day lacks the religious mysticism and homages to Westerns and samurai films. What it does have is a love for old sci-fi B-movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still, movies made to be more fun than based in heady subtext or scientific fact.

The story takes place over the span of three days: July 2nd, July 3rd, and July 4th. The film begins on July 2nd with the ominous shadows of the invaders' massive spaceships slowly enveloping everything they pass, and we're introduced to a number of characters and their own storylines, so many that I might not be able to list them all here. You have President Whitmore (Bill "I'm Not Bill Paxton" Pullman), a former Gulf War fighter pilot whom the opinion polls are turning against for his seemingly ineffectiveness and lack of resolve. You have M.I.T. grad turned cable guy David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) whom is still coping with his divorce and uncovers the aliens' secret plan. You have Air Force pilot Steven Hiller (Will Smith), who applies to be an astronaut but is rejected because of his relationship with his girlfriend, a stripper and single mom named Jasmine (Vivica A. Fox). Oh, and then there's Randy Quaid's Russell Casse, a Vietnam War veteran who spends his days in a drunken stupor, supporting his three children as a crop duster and recalling his own alien abduction. All of their destinies somehow intersect throughout the film as the extraterrestrials launch their attack,

The aliens attack on July 2nd, blasting blue-green rays of energy down on major cities around the world, causing tidal waves of fire that kill millions and leave the cities in flaming ruins. The Earth forces mount an aerial counterattack on July 3rd, but are vastly outnumbered and quickly overwhelmed by the swarm of technologically-advanced aliens, whom then take out most Army bases. Frustrations mount as it becomes more and more apparent that the aliens seem unstoppable. The remaining American forces retreat to the modern-day mythical Area 51, where they organize one final strike at the aliens on July 4th.

Many of the characters are stock and cliche, like the science whiz no one wants to listen to but who is always right, or the trigger-happy government suit whose only response to a problem seems to involve firing all available weaponry at the enemy despite the repeated failure of said weaponry. (Emmerich and Devlin are known for falling back on these very cliches in their other movies, as evidenced by their Independence Day follow-up Godzilla), and several of the plot points seem highly contrived and unlikely. A simple computer virus being compatible with advanced alien technology seems ridiculous, so the possibility that said computer virus being capable of taking down technologically-advanced alien force fields is even more ridiculous, and that's saying a lot when you're talking about a movie about an alien invasion. But the special effects are the real stars here (though some shots do look noticibly green-screened if you look closely), and the underdog story of outgunned and outmatched Earth forces taking on a seemingly invincible alien threat is a crowd pleaser. And you can't help but cheer a little bit when poor Russell Casse gets his revenge. This is probably the best film by Emmerich and Devlin to date, something that doesn't look to be changing anytime soon.

"Good character developments & acting. Special effects were good at that time but not good compared to movies of the last 4 years", It has good character developments and acting. The special effects were good at that time but not good compared to movies of the last 4 years. It's worth watching.

"Independence Day", I lost my original copy in the divorce. This is a cool movie.
