Highly entertaining!

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 1999)

ID4 is one fun movie to watch. Impressive special effects help propel the plot and those ships are something! Part of the fun is watching Will Smith. He brings a touch of bravado that makes you laugh and root for him. Jeff Goldblum seems to have a knack for playing smarter than average guys, and he makes them falliable. Bll Pullman puts in a good performance as the president who has to deal with an invasion from outer space. Highly patriotic with an American slant, considering it was directed by a German and the stirring music was composed by an Englishman.
