One of the biggest box office hits of all time delivers the ultimate encounter when mysterious and powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion against the human race. The spectacle begins when massive spaceships appear in Earth's skies. But wonder turns to terror as the ships blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet. Now the world's only hope lies with a determinded band of survivors, uniting for one last strike against the invaders - before it's the end of all mankind.

In Independence Day, a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum once actually had a fistfight with a man (Bill Pullman) who is now president of the United States. That same president, late in the film, personally flies a jet fighter to deliver a payload of missiles against an attack by extraterrestrials. Independence Day is the kind of movie so giddy with its own outrageousness that one doesn't even blink at such howlers in the plot. Directed by Roland Emmerich, Independence Day is a pastiche of conventions from flying-saucer movies from the 1940s and 1950s, replete with icky monsters and bizarre coincidences that create convenient shortcuts in the story. (Such as the way the girlfriend of one of the film's heroes--played by Will Smith--just happens to run across the president's injured wife, who are then both rescued by Smith's character who somehow runs across them in alien-ravaged Los Angeles County.) The movie is just sheer fun, aided by a cast that knows how to balance the retro requirements of the genre with a more contemporary feel. --Tom Keogh

This DVD would not play, it appeared to be blank. The replacement DVD did not play either.

But overall, it is a good transfer and the sound is incredible. Independence Day is a comic book movie and is best enjoyed watching it with that mind set. The Blu-Ray version of this movie is amazing although I was disappointed to see a black dot artifact hanging around on the upper left portion of the screen during the opening and for the first several minutes of the movie.

in my BD Player (PS3) because it proteced with a stupid region Code. Well, be advised european customers, DO NOT buy this BD unless your player can handle it (there is only very few). I ordered this BluRay from Germany, but unfortunately it won't work. Now what sense does it make to protect BluRays that are also available in Europe and partially older releases.

This movie could have been much better if changed in other ways also.Jeff G has no acting skill. Jeff goldblum sucks as an actor. He ruined the Jerassic Park movies but, fits "The Fly" movie fine. It could have been left out. This movie could have been better if Jeff Goldblum and religion was left out. Why is being Jewish a concern in this movie.
