    I watched this when it first came out in Houston, TX. With the nuclear response, “Who’s first? Houston, Texas, sir.” My entire theater reacted perfectly with an almost simultaneous scream “We’re all gonna die!! AARRRRRGGGHHH!!” Then everyone shut up and we were instantly back into the movie.

    I should point out that the actress playing Patricia Whitmore (aka the munchkin) is none other than Mae Whitman, who would later go on to have a very prolific voice acting career. Nowadays she's best recognized as Katara from ATLA and of course The Owl House's Amity Blight.
    She was also Roxy Richter in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World", one of Ramona's Evil Exes.

Alien fighters that fly through space using windows instead of computer guidance, and somehow don't have computer-guided-gunsights? Driving all the way from NYC to DC during a national panic? Jeff Goldblum logging into the alien mainframe using a laptop wi-fi antenna? The alien ships haven't upgraded their software since the 1949 Roswell crash?), but it's so much fun that it's easy to check your brain at the door

      @@Pixelologist I think it has that magic quality to it. Stargate had it too. You can't really take it too seriously, though. That's for sure. I guess I would argue, especially now that movies tend to do their best when they're fun... it's okay to call a movie a classic because it's lots of fun. Or, if not, that's okay too. I'm just going to not fret over it.

    Saw this in college with a group of friends. There was a lot of hype over it. One of them I hadn’t caught up with in a while tagged along without knowing what it was about, not even a trailer. Born on the 4th of July had recently come out and many thought it might be a similar movie. My friend too was blown away. Seeing the White House get trashed with ease was a big deal back then (happens in every other disaster movie now).

    You suggested the answer to why the President wasn't informed about the aliens and stuff was, "It's on a need-to-know basis". However, I say, "Yeah, but they were on one of those "Don't need to know bases", so that's why the President was never told before. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

    • @Tyranidlord556
      @Tyranidlord556 19 дней назад +1

      In the extended edition it has a scene where David shows how the crashed ship is receiving the signal being broadcasted by the mothership. It makes sense that he was hacking and putting the virus through the signal at the source rather than directly into their software. The extended edition has a couple of scenes like this that really do add extra layers and answers a few of the questions raised like this I think.

    The cast is stellar. Fantastic visual and special effects. And the sound design is amazing.
    Bill Pullman(who plays President Thomas Whitmore)is one of my top favorite movie Presidents. And he has the best speech ever in this movie.
    The 2016 follow-up "Independence Day: Resurgence" is a good sequel. Not as fantastic as this one, but still a really good movie(in my opinion). I do highly recommend that one.

    10:35 "How do we know they are going to attack? Maybe they're just going to land and say Hey."
    Well...
    Suppose Russia wanted to send an ambassador to the United States.
    Would they:
    A) send a giant fleet of dozens of aircraft carriers, battleships, nuclear submarines, etc., and spread them out around every major city they can get to?
    or
    B) Send one small plane with one ambassador and a few assistants just to Washington D.C. with no military escort?
    Aliens would be no different.
    Sure, they have big ships ready for war.
    But if they want peace, they would leave the warships far away and send one small ambassador ship.
    What these aliens are doing is purely a warlike posture.
    Now, maybe they just plan to make threats and scare us into surrendering.
    They don't need a countdown for that.
    They countdown can only mean one thing: a coordinated attack.
    Checkmate.

    Sort of, I guess.
    But put yourself in her shoes.
    You are the White House Communications Director, in charge of all the communication between the President and the American citizens.
    The president is talking to the press RIGHT NOW.
    Suddenly your ex husband calls shouting about the alien attack.
    OK, yeah, he's smart, but you are at the busiest moment of your entire life and he just sounds like he's panicking.
    Would you take that call?
    I think Constance was perfectly justified to hang up that call and get back to the most important moment of her life and of American history.
    It's not like she could know that David figured out something that the entire U.S. military, Homeland Defense, and even NASA hadn't figured out.
    But you're right, if she did listen then, maybe they could have evacuated those 3 cities and saved millions of lives.

    *sigh*... If you don't know what it's about, how in the hell can you possibly compare it to anything? and of all things, Mission: Impossible. 😵 I'm not even 17 seconds into this and I'm already picking up barrels of bullshit.

    I remember watching this when it came out as a 14 year old and I have a similar opinion to it now - Will Smith's recent antics notwithstanding. The dialogue is terrible, the effects aren't great, the characters are just stereotypes and cliches...but the actors they picked make it work. There's that whole introductory scene to Will Smith and Vivica A. Fox's characters, and it's all written badly, especially at the end. "You are not as charming as you think you are, sir." "Yes, I am." Either the writer is just a moron or he knew he was casting the Fresh Prince and he could sell that line better than anyone else, because he makes it work. He's really the character in this movie that holds it all together. Bill Pullman and Mary McDonnell aren't bad as president and First Lady, but everyone else is just a stereotype, and your mileage may vary. I actually still like the chemistry between Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum, but Smith seems to have chemistry with everyone. This was the movie, before Men In Black, that made Will Smith a star and showed he could take bad one liners and sell them better than anyone else. "Now that's what I call a close encounter." Okay, Will, we get it. I used to idolize him as a white kid growing up. He was the King of Cool. I was more of a Carlton at best without the dance moves. If you want to see what Will could do acting wise from the very beginning, Six Degrees of Separation is the movie, co-starring the late Donald Sutherland (RIP) and Stockard Channing, or Rizzo from Grease.

    If you cut out all of Will Smith's non-meaningful words and actions, the movie would be half an hour shorter.
