This movie has Hollywood written all over it but it's all good.,
By
This review is from: Independence Day (Widescreen) (DVD)
The movie trailer shows a picture of the White House...all of a sudden, its blown into smithereens by a laser blast!!!This popcorn flick was all that I hoped for, nothing but 100% of everything: action, drama, humor and suspense. Many people are justified in stating that the success of "Independence Day" comes from the fact that its nothing more than what its intended to be: FUN, period. However, in this day and age of constant threats to modern society from epidemics such as war and disease, "Independence Day" can suddenly mean more than just a cinematic escape from reality. Perhaps it symbolizes the power and determination of the human spirit to prevail against all odds. Well, I most certainly think so! Just observe the plot and you'll find out what I mean: Several gigantic UFOs, dwarfing anything which mankind can possibly conceive, suddenly hover above major cities all over the world. Without warning, these alien ships simultaneously strike the heart of the cities with awesome laser beams, causing vast proportions of horrific destruction. Just when it seems that all is lost for the citizens of the Planet Earth, a courageous band of human rebels join forces to combat this seemingly impregnable terror. These rebels come from all walks of life, from the dead serious to the outrageously funny. You've got Will Smith, a fighter pilot with a mouth of a wise guy but having a heart of gold; Jeff Goldblum, the computer nerd who knows how to decode the alien bad guys; and Bill Pullman, the dedicated U.S. president who will stop at nothing to preserve the survival of the human race. Put them together and you have a trinity (respectively the heart, mind and soul) of the ultimate good guys to rally "mankind," a word as Pullman in the film eloquently states, "should have a new meaning to us all." The spirit of this movie owes much to past multi-character disaster classics such as "Earthquake." If you are an avid fan of sci-fi flicks, the content and material of "Independence Day" might be familiar territory for you, but it's a treat to watch nonetheless. So, do you feel the need to ignite that "fighting human spirit" in you? Then its time to place this on your cart or rush to your nearest video store and celebrate your "Independence Day!"

fun special effects on blu-ray,
By
This review is from: Independence Day [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This melodramatic ode to Hollywood's disaster movies might not be the best, but the special effects are worth seeing on blu-ray. And since the visuals are lovely to look at, somehow everything else doesn't seem that bad. It does have a sense of humour, and the film might even be fun if you can suspend all realistic expectations (entirely). Also on the blu-ray are a few interesting bonus features including two audio commentaries, an alien scavenger hunt game, and teaser / trailers.

broken Blu-ray movie case,
This review is from: Independence Day [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
To whom it may concern,I just recieved my order today and I was a little upset once I opened the package to find that one of my Blu-Ray casing (Independance Day) was broken at various places probably due to the shipping. I have been a client with Amazon.ca for a few years now and have made a lot of Blu-ray and DVD orders and everytime, everything was perfect. Do you think it would be possible from Ammazon.ca to sent me a new Blu-Ray DVD case to replace the one broken, please? Fortunatly, the Blu-ray disk seems intact. More to follow... Thanks anyway to Amazon.ca corp. for their usual outstanding professionnalism everytime I did make an order from them, time and shipping were impecable. I am still looking to do business with your company and really would appreciate a new Blu-ray cover to protect my Blu-ray disk. Respectfully,
