Independence Day is a 1996 action/disaster blockbuster that was directed by Roland Emmerich. It stars Bill Pullman, Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum (among many others) as humans forced to scramble to fight off an alien invasion in the days leading up to the 4th of July. The film was released to massive success back in the 90s and briefly held the title as the second highest grossing film of all time (behind Jurassic Park). Despite it’s popularity, and it’s notability for helping jumpstart Will Smith’s film career, it’s also a movie that has received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike for close to thirty years now. Which brings us to this video: Should we celebrate ID4? Is it actually a good movie? Welp, that’s what here to find out. #willsmith #90smovies #moviepodcast Socials: Twitter: https://twitter.com/niche_caesar Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/nichecaesar Media Obscura and Glaring Admissions (Podcast): https://pod.link/themediaobscura Guppy Falls (eBook): https://a.co/d/isBwHfu
