Independence Day: 2-Movie Collection - BLU-RAY [Standard]

The First Independence Day movie was to put simply...wayyyy more exciting, but seemingly less busy...enough to allow the story to flow. Making that enjoyable even through repetitive views. The second movie seemed to follow almost the same pattern as the first film...somewhat understandable. I am just happy that They made another Independence Day movie. Most Filmakers are afraid of making franchises with Prequels and-or Sequels...mainly..., because of budgets...and failing to satisfy the producers-investors of sorts and-or the Fans-The Audience. About not Living up-to the expectations that the First-The Original Release set forth with possible would-be expectations. So gambling with the idea that people will like the sequel-or-prequel is at times more appreciated that They had made the effort than not. Sometimes people wait too long to do such things that some of the original Cast or Crew refuse to cooperate in Sequels or Prequels. Other times They can not, because of prior commitments...or that They are No Longer amongst the Living for offering a helping hand. I like the movie...i would recommend people who have watched the First Independence Day movie...to watch this movie at least once ...to get an understanding of the direction that people had chosen the movie to continue into.

The ability to purchase both movies at one time at an excellent price was amazing. Our original copy of the first would no longer play and we had been looking for a replacement for quite some time and fit the bill perfectly getting both for the price of one. The movies themselves are great

So I bought the 2-movie pack because I thought it was a better deal between buying the movies separately. If you read the back of the box, it says it has all the same featurettes as buying the separate movie sets. I figured great, save some money. Unfortunately when I got home and opened it, I instead found out that some of the listed featurettes were on a second disc..which each movie does not have. The box listing is literally a copy of each original box's content listing, down to the "2-disc" per movie. There is only one Blu-ray Disc per movie and therefore only half the featurettes listed on physical disc. The only reason I gave it 4 stars with this information is because the Digital Copy through VUDU gave me access to not only both movies but also full access to all featurettes in digital format. As for the movies themselves, one is a 90s classic which I remember seeing in theatres when it originally came out. If you watch it nowadays, the CG and special effects are obvious and bad when compared to what's put out - particularly its sequel. But for back then it was amazing, with a good story (albeit slightly implausible physics). The sequel does justice to the original, set 20 years later and with an equally good story. If you like sci-fi, this should be something you see at least once.

Got this for $10! Both movies look great in Blu Ray and Digital. Digital Copy crosses over to iTunes, Movies Anywhere, and VUDU platforms. Must buy. The first movie is a classic! The second movie is cheesy, but it's as entertaining as I remember it.

Great movie I have not watched the second one yet but the two movie set was cheaper than the first one by itself.
