Independence Day [Blu-ray] description 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 |

| There's absolutely not a thing wrong with this movie if you are into feel good cliches.In that respect this is a much better movie than 'War of the Worlds' where Spielberg tries to avoid the genre cliches. Seeing the huge alien spacecraft creating their own mini weather systems was pretty cool even though the science behind such huge spacecraft is unfathomable and imposiible. If we are ever to be attacked from space it will most likely be tiny robots in nano spacecraft nurturing their species'DNA,or the alien equivalent of DNA. Physics,space and time render what you see on this screen quite impossible. To travel thousands of light years in machines like you see in Independence Day would require millions of years assuming you could build such monstrosities in the first place. The original craft was 1/4 the size of our moon. How do you build something like that? Perhaps by hollowing out a huge asteroid or the moon of another planet and then manipulating the orbit of a comet to break the spacecraft free from it's orbit. Or you could use Hollywood's trump card when it comes to science fiction; a mysterious technology that is simply beyond our comprehension. Somehow these aliens have developed warp speed technology and yet Jeff Goldblum can disable their defenses with a simple computer virus so earthlings can win the day and return to bureaucratic corruption as usual. If anything as big as what you saw in this movie was approaching the earth bypassing the moon it would result in the second biggest catayclism in earth's history and sterilize the planet of all life, even bacteria. For that we should be grateful because most animals,plants and bacteria deserve a better fate. As far as Mega- Hollywood movies go, this one leaves no cliches unturned and if you can go with it will make you feel good. Please check your brain at the door first however. | |
