A Knockout!

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2016)

Earth is invaded by aliens.
1996 was the year of the alien invasion movies: Mars Attacks! and Independence Day. MA! was a comedy and ID4 was sort of straight but they were both fun flicks about aliens invading earth.
Perhaps a less talked about element to ID4 is the wonderful doomsday music that plays when the massive ship starts to hover over earth before the attack. Today's movie-makers don't seem to bother with that kind of well played music when a film like this is made?
ID4 is a knockout from beginning to end...so don't pay too much attention to those critics who take it too seriously.
