Plot: A group of intrepid humans attempts to save the Earth from vicious extraterrestrials in this extremely popular science-fiction adventure. Borrowing liberally from War of the Worlds, Aliens, and every sci-fi invasion film inbetween, director Roland Emmerich and producer and co-writer Dean Devlin present a visually slick, fast-paced adventure filled with expensive special effects and large-scale action sequences. The story begins with the approach of a series of massive spaceships, which many on Earth greet with open arms, looking forward to the first contact with alien life. Unfortunately, these extraterrestrials have not come in peace, and they unleash powerful weapons that destroy most of the world's major cities. Thrown into chaos, the survivors struggle to band together and put up a last-ditch resistance in order to save the human race. As this is a Hollywood film, this effort is led by a group of scrappy Americans, including a computer genius who had foreseen the alien's evil intent (Jeff Goldblum), a hot-shot jet pilot (Will Smith), and the President of the United States (Bill Pullman). While some critics objected to the film's lack of originality and lapses in logic, the combination of grand visual spectacle and crowd-pleasing storytelling proved irresistible to audiences, resulting in an international smash hit. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Great movie Freedom will Live
Added 11/19/2009
This was a great movie when I first saw it and now with what is going on in our country I think everyone should view it. It shows America is willing to fight for the right to be free. It is also humorous. Will Smith and Jeff Goldbloom do a great job.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER!!!! Have you ever watched a movie and swear that there are scenes missing? It is soooo frustrating. Everytime I watched my Independence Day movie that was what would happen and then I found this edition and was like HA! Told you! This edition has a seperate edition in it that has extra footage/scenes. It is soooooo much better than the origional boring version! (well it's only boring compared to this but yeah) If you are going to invest in this movie then I urge you to get this version because it is 100xs better.

Recieved order promptly, and was amazed that inside the movie was a small slip of paper that said, " Please leave feedback, if you have any problems please contact us..." I thought that was a great gesture that never really comes all that often. I know that feedback means a lot and you are so right, if I am happy I rarely leave feedback. The movie works wonderfully and I am very happy with my product, price and the professional service. I will continue to order from this company from now on.

Thanks

Junk food for the masses

Let's examine the premise of this movie for a moment, shall we? Extraterrestrial craft have been visiting the earth for millennia. There were craft painted onto walls by prehistoric peoples. The nearest star is four light years away, meaning at the level of technology possessed by humans currently, it would take centuries at best for them to arrive here even from the NEAREST of an infinite number of stars in the universe. So, they must have craft that can considerably exceed the speed of light. If any civilization in possession of that kind of hugely advanced technology had wanted to destroy humans, it could easily have done so long ago. However, they have not.
No, dear people, the threat is not extraterrestrials. It is ourselves. Humans are doing a magnificent job of threatening the survival of humanity, thank you very much. Films like this, not to mention its upcoming sequel by another name, are nothing but a low-ball attempt to whip up a frenzy of militaristic paranoia so that people won't notice that they're being robbed blind every day by the same military-industrial complex portrayed as our great salvation in movies like this. In fact, I suspect that that same establishment had some major role in the making of this film.
Do you want to be horrified? Leave this film behind and look instead at what humans are doing to their habitat and to one another. THERE is the real shocker! Movies like this do nothing but dumb down the masses, who unfortunately seem to like being spoon-fed this kind of mindless, idiotic drivel.
