after my scathing review of independence day, you probably think I hate this movie too… not true! it was damn fun. this movie never really takes itself seriously (even in the “serious” parts). it’s like a 90’s version of a cheap 50’s sci-fi drive-in movie. i imagine that there are 12-year-old boys all over the USA worshiping this movie since it has: 1- naked chicks, 2-lots of stuff getting blown up, 3-cool futuristic guns, 4-people losing their heads (and getting killed in other nasty ways), 5-more naked chicks, and 6-really cool special effects. the ‘anti-war’ message was pretty stupid though (of course war sucks… duh!).
