A Fun Flick

Independence Day is a comic book movie and is best enjoyed watching it with that mind set.

The Blu-Ray version of this movie is amazing although I was disappointed to see a black dot artifact hanging around on the upper left portion of the screen during the opening and for the first several minutes of the movie.

But overall, it is a good transfer and the sound is incredible. October 20, 2008

Won't work in Europe!

I ordered this BluRay from Germany, but unfortunately it won't work
in my BD Player (PS3) because it proteced with a stupid region Code.

Now what sense does it make to protect BluRays that are also available in Europe and partially older releases?

Well, be advised european customers, DO NOT buy this BD unless your player can handle it (there is only very few)... October 20, 2008

ruined by goldblum

This movie could have been better if Jeff Goldblum and religion was left out. Jeff goldblum sucks as an actor. He ruined the Jerassic Park movies but, fits "The Fly" movie fine. Why is being Jewish a concern in this movie? It could have been left out! This movie could have been much better if changed in other ways also.Jeff G has no acting skill! October 13, 2008

War of the Worlds

I don't know how to explain to somebody that likes this why this movie sucks. Here's a few random things that come to mind in no particular order: 1) Will Smith is an uninteresting actor except for when he was in MEN IN BLACK and some other movie I can't remember the title of. 2) Bill Pullman is the president. 3) The president is one of the heros of the movie. LAME. Presidents are cowards and frauds that would hide in a bunker somewhere. 4) The plot is dumb and sucks; particularly the silly backstory between the president and Jeff Goldblum. 5) The name of the movie is lame. INDEPENDENCE DAY. Right. First we kicked British --- and now the aliens. America Rules!!! USA! USA! USA! America is saves the planet. The way the aliens are defeated- Lol! OK, "it's just a movie". It was a virus that destroyed them like in some other story about an alien invasion, but this time one for the alien's computers. "Star Wars" for the next generation I spot a reviewer claim?! SAY WHAT?? Sorry, that reviewer doesn't got a clue. And comparing it to STARSHIP TROOPERS? No, that is completely wrong. Saying this movie is better than STARSHIP TROOPERS is a complete misunderstanding of what STARSHIP TROOPERS was about. They didn't get it. STARSHIP TROOPERS is both a brilliant satire AND highly entertaining, well crafted sci-fi adventure flick in certain aspects masquerading as a B movie as well as perfect parody of WWII propaganda films. TROOPERS lightheartedly calls the viewer's attention to the propensity of propagandized humans for senseless violence without conscience, comicly using a war of humans versus mindless, souless, agressive "bugs" to make the point. Stuff that works: I like seeing the White House explode and other stuff. The alien ships look pretty cool. October 6, 2008
