popcorn fun

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2013)

Aliens have arrived. The world waits nervously. David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) uncovers an alien signal. He drives to the White House with his father Julius (Judd Hirsch) to connect with ex Constance Spano (Margaret Colin) who is an adviser to President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman). The aliens launch a massive attack. Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith) is a military pilot on the counter-attack.
Roland Emmerich blows up lots of stuff. This isn't deep. Sure the computer virus idea is stupid. Who Cares? We get to see the White House blow up. It is a great 90s popcorn picture. The story works minus the computer virus. There is epic action. It is loads of fun.
