On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. First thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species who have set out to launch an attack throughout the globe. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles, and Washington when a band of survivors devise a plan to fight back against the enslaving aliens. On July 4th, humanity fights for its freedom.

On July 2, a giant alien mothership enters orbit around Earth and deploys several dozen saucer-shaped 'destroyer' spacecraft that quickly lay waste to major cities around the planet. On July 3, the United States conducts a coordinated counterattack that fails. On July 4, a plan is devised to gain access to the interior of the alien mothership in space, in order to plant a nuclear missile.

Starts out great but falls apart laterThis movie coulda been epically good but falls short. Movie starts out really well and the first half of the movie is very entertaining and then Will Smith knocks out a Alien with one punch then turns his back to the Alien saying one of the dumbest lines in movie history, "Now that's what I call a close encounter" Really? So you punched what ends up being the shell of the Alien knocking it out for about 5 hours or so while you drag it across the desert ? It then wakes up at shows its incredible strength and mind control killing people easily. Oh but Will can just knock it out with one punch. Ok sure! Then you have the ridiculousness of flying one of the Martians space ships around as if somehow Will and his sidekick had Alien Spaceship training.The movie just flat out got stupid after the halfway point. They tried to make Will Smith just to cool and it made his character almost annoying. I like Will Smith overall but not in this movie. I give it a 3 star just because it starts out great but definitely falls short after the halfway point..Boogiewithstu2Score: 3/5

One of ThoseThere are a few movies out there that I will put on when I am trying to do busy work around the house or just want to relax. You can't put on a movie you have never seen before and do housework, you miss things. These types of movies you watch/listen to over and over again because they are good and never get tiring. The Fifth Element is another along with any of the Bourne's and Mission Impossible movies. Don't forget Indiana Jones and.........Red wine girlScore: 5/5

Are you kidding!?!?!?This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life, there are B-rated films much better than this Hollywood sap. No wonder Randy Quaid is in hiding..Tennessee Jed 1976Score: 1/5

Action and Special Effects GoodTypical US film they save the world, but a very action film. Don't expect a good script, sit back and enjoy the action and fun. Better story would have been a classic, but still an excellent film to just enjoy on it's own..Slam StocksScore: 4/5

A VERY SILLY PRESENTATIONYup, it’s silly, and dopey but you just can’t get away from Will Smith’s line when he test drives an alien ship, “I gotta get me one o’ THESE!” Everything suggests that it’s not worth watching, but it’s fun. You get ‘em Will Smith!.TAJ - 00053637000u2Score: 4/5

AwesomeEveryone who put less than one star than well some thing is wrong with you like the person who put crap WRONG also the person who like peaceful ends there is some thing wrong with you because they do like happily ever after is you'll just watch the movie you'll see how good it is. Other than that great movie guys love it also one more thing Read the news paper and it said the next one is not gonna have Will smith in it so ya that's a bummer but hopefully it's good check also out Aliens or Terminator 2 those are also the best move oh also Jurassic park 1 and 2 also the Mummy.Sam's butterScore: 5/5

Independence DayLots of apocalyptic bang bang. Spectacular eye candy but not much credibility. But if you want lots of good destruction where everyone lives happily ever after... this is your movie. A lot of the effects were suspiciously similar to a lot of Star Wars stuff... but that just made it even better for what it is..SpaceNanaScore: 4/5

My Favorite Apocalyptic film!I love it no matter many other films i watch or how corny it is. The end scene before the battle really has heart!.ArchTenshi66Score: 5/5
