Independence Day

CriticsCritics: 68
AudienceAudience: 7.2

Strange phenomena appear across the globe before enormous alien forces threaten humanity with destruction over the Fourth of July weekend. As cities come under attack, an unlikely group of people must unite and find a way to stop the invasion, with the fate of the world at stake.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like big, fast-paced alien-invasion stories with humor and spectacle; not for you if you want subtle drama, realistic plotting, or a restrained patriotic tone.
