A Breathtaking Adventure and Sci-Fi,

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2014)

Independence Day is a great movie with a well developed storyline and a very talented cast.The effects in this film are outstanding and rightfully won an an Academy Award for Best Special Effects,some shots are a bit dated,but the majority still hold up today and this movie is without a doubt a milestone in film making history.Will Smith is definitely the movies highlight,his character is extremely likable and has many great lines,this movie is the start of his film career since the Fresh Prince of Bel Air finished,and it was a very promising performance and he has gone on to further prove he is a great actor.The movie does of course have its flaws,the main thing being that some of the characters are very stereotypical and I think some dialogue,particularly from Bill Pullman's character,is very cheesy,but it's very easy to look past this.Independence Day is a groundbreaking part of film history,and it's also very enjoyable,I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good adventure or science fiction film.
When aliens attack Earth it's up to a Maverick pilot to save the planet.
Best Performance: Will Smith Worst Performance: Harvey Fierstein
