Despite INDEPENDENCE DAY has always been considered a cult film of the 1990s and it has already lots of reviews here on IMDB, I hadn't watched it until a few months ago. And I am glad that I watched it because it kept me thrilled and interested until the very end.
To this day there are already 906 reviews and everything that has to be said about this movie has been said, so I'll keep my review short. Suffice to say that despite the movie is at times more special effects than plot, director Roland Emmerich managed to balance both things perfectly. The acting, especially by Bill Pullman, Jeff Golblum, Robert Loggia and Will Smith in one of his first movies is good. And the movie itself has today a nostalgic 90s feel (folks that were teens or adults in those years will understand it better).
In the end, I recommend this movie, but don't have high expectations. Just expect a movie that is both serious and funny, and this is the most important thing.
