Disgusting!

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2000)

Well, that Americans often exaggerate in their so-called patriotism, there are a few who'd deny it. That they consider themselves the rulers of the world, it's a fact proven by many movies made at Hollywood. Now, all that really missed in this grotesque picture was the German Roland Emmerich to pretend the Americans could be the rulers of the Universe.
What really impressed me in this film, like other motion pictures signed by Emmerich, were the special effects. Period. The rest is nonsense. I don't want take your time, so I'm going to be quick. How do you imagine such an advanced civilization like the aliens presented in "Independence Day" can be totally destroyed by their own weapons, by their own technology? Let's be objective and admit that the program implemented on the mother-ship was written in C (as the images clearly show); let's think for a while how it was possible for any scientist to come so fast to a solution that supposes a strong hardware knowledge of the alien technology and, more than that, a compatibility matter between two completely different types of processors.
Thus, I find more interesting and even more plausible for getting rid of the alien invasion the solution from "Mars Attacks!", which is based on a possible incompatibility of the sound range perceptible by two species (humans & aliens).
