Customer Ratings & Reviews

In 1996, this film made over $817 million to become the 2nd highest grossing film of all-time at the time. It made Will Smith a A-lister and a bankable summer blockbuster star. The premise is pretty simple, aliens attack earth and earthlings fight back with all their might to survive. It is not a deep, thought-provoking film; but a fun blockbuster that a whole family or varied group can watch and enjoy without thinking to hard. It is not overly violent either. It had great visual effects, which helped the film earn an Academy Award for best visual effects. Even in 2015, the visual effects stand the test of time, like the Jurassic Park visual effects have stood the test of time. Price: I paid $4.99, but in 2015 I think the most I would spend on this film is $7.99-$9.99. I got it for a great price point and it is worth it to by this if you see it on sale for cheap. If this set came loaded with special features or in a limited packaging I could justify paying more. Packaging: The version I bought is just the standard blu-ray version. There are not a ton of special features, but there is more than just a trailer. The cool thing was the version I bought came with a special edition slipcover (cardboard cover) that is part of the Fox Icon slipcover wave. Overall, happy with the purchase and happy with my experience buying from Best Buy. Note: I would really give this film and packaging a 4.5 if possible. I reserve 5s for absolute masterpieces with great packaging that have an abundance of special features, like the Lord of the Rings extended edition set.

Great deals on some really good certain Movies! I would recommend people check out Best Buys DVD's as they have some movies that include a lot more special features than other stores!

This film brought back so many memories from a childhood that didnt have many special effects. It always stood out to me and all my buddies. The story ain't bad either. A must watch around July 4th every year.

Great movie from my childhood and had to share it with my kiddos. Remastered in BluRay so had to pick it up since I think we only owned it somewhere on VHS...

Independence Day is a Great movie.I was on the seat of my pants!Action packed thriller.This movie has wonderful graphics in HD.I was totally awed.

You will not need this movie in any format above 720p. Maybe even 480p. Great and suspense filled movie. Director and writers injected just enough comedy to keep it an action movie but alleviate some tense moments.

Will Smith does it like only he can. The original better than the second but truly enjoyed both. Since I'm an action movie buff.

Very good blu-Ray quality the enhances this older movie. Recommend for those who enjoy finer video clarity and sharper colors.

I remember taking my 2 sons & their friends to see this in a theater and thoroughly enjoyed it but watching it again after all the years since then, I couldn’t help wince at a lot of the dialogue

One of my all time favorites. ID4 is fun Sci Fi story telling with alien butt - kicking action. Awesome special effects still blow me away. Must own!

This is a classic... I mean it's a great movie and watching it remastered is even better in HD or 4K

This movie is a classic! You get Will Smit and Jeff Goldblum fighting aliens! What more could you ask for?

One of the best movies of the 90's. If you like scify you must have this movie in your collection.

One of Will Smith's best movies. His performance along with others make this a great movie.

Will Smith. Jeff Goldblum. Aliens. Destruction. And Randy freakin Quaid. Classic movie.

Thank you Lord Jesus for giving us Will Smith and his courage to fight an alien invasion.

If you like Science Fiction movies you will love this one! Good story with lots of action.

This BluRay transfer beats my DVD version by a mile...almost like being at the movies!

I love Will Smith movies!!! This classic will have you wanting to see more of his acting

I enjoyed this sequel. Not all movies have great sequels but this was worth it.
