The Way to Make Money With a Sorry Film

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2000)

"Independence Day" earned more money than any other film in 1996. In the film, aliens from an unknown planet hover over major parts of the world and finally attack. Almost everything is destroyed and the few survivors who remain band together to fight the un-welcomed visitors. Needless to say the special effects and technical aspects of the film are pretty solid, but that does not save the film from being a major disappointment. The direction and screenplay are near non-existent and the characters are woefully flat and uninteresting. All in all a poor film that is nothing more than a lot of noise. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
