You can't get more American then this

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2016)

Let me just say, that i doubt we will see any American Presidents go and fly jet planes against Alien spaceships. But, Independence Day has to be one of the best alien invasion movies released in the last quarter century. True the story line is not very original, it does borrow themes from other sci-fi movies. The thing that is original is that the time line of this movie is between July 2 and July 4. But this movie has marvelous special effects, lots of action and lots of heart. Will Smith kicks absolute butt , love Randy Quaid as our resident lunatic kidnapped by the aliens... Vivica Fox merely eye candy.. our story deals with Aliens landing on earth,, now we have to find out what they want. well after that doesn't go so well, we try to fight the, and that doesn't go so well either,, now the President Bill Pullman is left with a choice,, he is taken to one of my favorite places in the whole world...... Area 51. I thought that this was the best part of the entire movie hands down. Roland Emmerich is undoubtedly a very skilled director who knows how to please the crowd. This movie has several good points and a few bad points which can be easily overlooked.
Overall this film, is so Pro American that if you vote it down you might get deported or blown out into space ;)
