On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. It is soon learned by the military that a number of enormous objects are on a collision course with Earth. At first thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species. After attempts to communicate with the aliens go nowhere, David Levinson, an ex-scientist turned cable technician, discovers that the aliens are going to attack major points around the globe in less than a day. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles and Washington, as well as Paris, London, Houston and Moscow. The survivors set out in convoys towards Area 51, a strange government testing ground where it is rumored the military has a captured alien spacecraft of their own. The survivors devise a plan to fight back against the enslaving aliens, and July 4th becomes the day humanity will fight for its freedom. July 4th is their Independence Day...
Leave your thoughts about Independence Day.
| Philadelphia City PaperCynthia FuchsThe movie is like an advertisement for more defense spending. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe ultimate special effects spectacular. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe alien attack, taking place in several cities at once, is breathtaking...All the same, Independence Day is consistently funny. |
| Zaki's CornerZaki HasanNever professes to be anything more than escapist entertainment, with enough "gee whiz" pyrotechnics to enthrall audiences. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksWhat's truly amazing about Independence Day is that it moves so quickly, has such a huge 'Wow!' factor in terms of special effects and is loaded with so much humor and so many amusing characters that even purists won't complain. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairOne of the best summer blockbusters ever made... |
| USA TodayMike ClarkIt's the first futuristic disaster movie that's as cute as a button. Which, when all the special effects blow over, is what we Americans like in a monster hit. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe aliens, meanwhile, are a fabulously nasty lot of slimy, tentacled, malevolent telepaths, but all their superior technology is no match for our red, white and blue ingenuity. Take that, space bullies! |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsSlightly derivative, but thoroughly crowd-pleasing. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIt's ambitious and competently put together, but with a little more ambition, it could have been truly great. |
