Negative Positive
Title: bad science fiction
Review: Independence Day has got to be one of the dumbest sci-fi films to ever be released. All the characters are one-dimensional. We hate Bill Pullman's portrayal of the president so bad, we wished he'd died in the White House. Will Smith provides almost no comic relief, although he is the movie's one likable character. I find it rather stupid that the world was saved by a Macintosh computer. The filmakers of Independence Day obviously didn't learn their lesson as they later made the even worse, very corny, Godzilla. The only thing that prevented me from giving Independence Day one star were the visual effects. They were quite astonishing, especially on a 75 million dollar budget.
