You can't really say anything bad about this movie...solid well rounded characters, cast does a phenomenal job, pervasive and impressive special effects...This movie still holds the record for most scale miniatures used in a single film...AND IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Us intelligent humans with decent eyesight can tell the difference between a cheesy generic CGI explosion and the real explosions seen in Independence Day!! When the Empire state building and others explode it is AMAZING! 15 years later the movie still looks better than most movies do today. Every where you want the movie to go it goes. Wanna see the inside of the mother ship and the millions of ground troopers preparing to deploy to the surface of Earth? You got it. 3 elements completely make the movie rise above all others. 1) The Canyon chase - an alien fighter chases an F-18 around canyon walls, under falling rocks, etc. AWESOME!! 2) Will Smith in the dessert - Perfect acting, perfect contrasting colors, setting. So memorable. These scenes made his career. 3) Area 51 - Brent Spiner as the mad scientist and the botched dissection: "What is it you want us to do?" to which the alien replies "DIE". Again, extremely well done and memorable. hands down a bonified classic. Can't wait for the sequels!!Read full review
Great movie if you believe that we are not alone in the universe. Although I believe those who are out there are not as hostile as portrayed in this movie. But a great movie none the less another must have in your collection of classics. This truly is one, I saw Independence Day 2 and was okay with it but number one is better, although once again, I would add the second one to my first classic.

Independence Day 1 is very entertaining. Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum are great together. Very funny. I wasn't that crazy about Resurgence. It was ok. The only reason I ordered it was because Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch and Bill Pullman was in it. All together, I am satisfied with my purchase. Good price.

I wanted this movie for years, so glad I waited for Blu-ray. DVD doesn't do this film justice, Blu-ray blows it's doors off for picture and sound!
