Stands the test of time.

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2013)

Independence Day is an epic movie with a great story and characters who we can all relate too. Not many movies came out with as much hype and excitement as this one and it lived up to every minute of it. 17 years later and with talk of possible sequels coming there is that excitement buzz once again.
The special effects broke new ground on how an alien invasion could actually look like with 15 mile wide ships that cover entire cities. Yet the best thing about the movie is the fact that its not all about brawn but brains. For a movie that is 2.5 hrs long it grabs you for the opening scene and doesn't let up. 17 years old and it keeps getting better and better. Can't wait for the sequels in 3D!!
