Every time I sit down to watch it I am filled with hope, patriotism, happiness, and pride. Mankind's situation is now seemingly hopeless until it a major weakness is discovered and implemented against them.Ī simple plot structure, but watching it onscreen is something else. A living alien is then brought to the base who divulges the goal of the planet's extermina. At Area 51, where the President and a handful of forces are hiding out, the famous Roswell incident is explained, showing that a reconnaissance team was sent to Earth, with the recovered alien bodies and ship under study at Area 51 since their recovery. Surviving world leaders and military forces organize counterattacks in response to the destruction, even going as far as to implement nuclear weapons, however everything fails. July 2, 1996, the aliens show up, place their city sized ships over cities, and once all of their forces are ready, they strike, obliterating whatever is beneath them. To put the plot in very simple terms (and allowing one to fully enjoy the film) the events play out in a relatively simple manner. Three days in which billions die, most major cities in the northern hemisphere are obliterated, and chaos as governments are trying to function with a fraction of forces leaders and personnel. "Independence Day" follows a three-day timeline. Although we do not face the threat of an alien force seeking to exterminate us, it is a powerful message showing that it is a goal worth pursuing. Not only as a nation, but all of mankind united in pursuit of a common goal. THE Speech highlights the patriotism inside all of us and creates an idea for being united. The characters are relatable and diverse (albeit their development may not change much after their introduction) as they overcome the awful threat before them. There is something about "Independence Day" that is able to tug at the heartstrings behind the alien battles and destruction throughout. Most summer blockbusters typically are action films with an orgy of explosions, fights, and A-list actors giving performances that are often ignored by the Academy. As far fetched as the films premise is, there is one thing that it possess that few films of its kind have: soul. An over-the-top sci-fi drama with superb usage of CGI and practical effects that have retained much of their "wow" as it ages, fantastic performances from its ensemble as well as a stellar musical score contribute to a fantastic film. July 2, 1996, 220 years after The Declaration of Independence day was signed, "Independence Day" was released (coincidentally the same day the story begins) to enthusiastic moviegoers worldwide.
