The best disaster movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2020)

I'm a big fan of disaster films and have seen most of them. Independence Day comes out the top as the best one. Action, tension, emotion, fun and amazing special FX executed brilliantly. Made before the annoying trends of shaky-cam and dark filters, it's pleasing to the eye as well. You actually see real colours and the sun, not to mention clear skies before trails became the norm. As silly as some of I.D.'s premises are, it's anchored by an excellent script, great acting and direction. A fun roller coaster ride from beginning to end and one of the few movies that actually delivers the entertainment it promises.
