An summer action blockbuster.

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2011)

In 1996, the highest grossing of the time was an science-fiction film called Independence Day. It was one of the biggest movies of the summer. It shocked and was seen by thousands of movie audiences. What made Independence Day the biggest action movie of the summer of '96? Well, Independence Day is a alien invasion movie about aliens from outer space coming to invade Earth. Soon then, the world become suspicious when these very giant alien ships float above us turning day into an dark place. The President of the United States, played by Bill Pullman, alerted the people that they are in a state of emergency. The alien ships soon destroyed major cities in the U.S. including Washington D.C, L.A. and New York. This was something very extraordinary. The screen is then set ablaze as the ship fired on the buildings and destroys everything in it's path. So, an Fighter plane pilot, played by Will Smith takes action to eliminate these unearthly beings. The movie has a lot of great visual effects, good camera shots of the big alien ship hovering over New York. The action scenes are very exciting. This is a good popcorn fun action movie that really works for the audience who wants excitements, thrills and fun. Independence Day is a good summer flick. ★★★ 3 stars.
