Independence Day

Independence Day-- An Americans Save the World movie.


        Independence Day is another movie features Earth people fighting against the invasion of the aliens, in which Americans lead the world to fight for liberty again on fourth of July.
     

        The movie stars Will Smith as captain Steve Hiller who flies the fighter plane, Bill Pullman as US president, Jeff Goldblum as the scientist David. Though the movie is made in 1996, the special effects in it is still awesome even judged by today's technology. And this is a great action movie: there are massive destructions in the movie, e.g. blowing up of major cities and White House, there are city-size spaceships and there are thrilling dogfights, too. However, there are also great criticisms on this movie, such as the stereotypes of the characters, the inane dialogue and plot ( President drive the fighter planes against the aliens safely, David successfully infected aliens' computer using a Macintosh laptop and so on).

        As far as I'm concerned, I don't think this is a bad movie since I really enjoyed the incredible visual effects and the brilliant action. As a disaster movie, I think they did a far better job for the scenes in Independence Day than those in the movie 2012. Will Smith is quite good in this movie and all other cast did their part. In a nutshell, if you like the disastrous scenes in 2012, you will definitely enjoy more in this movie; if you just want to have some fun time and are not too serious about the plot, you'll sure get what you want, at least I did. Thumbs up for my time.
