Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great movie lots of action wood recommend to others.

Most of you reading this have likely already seen the original 'Independence Day'. I had. However, I wanted to see it again ahead of watching the new movie so I went looking for the DVD. I would have settled for a regular DVD; finding it in blu-ray was a bonus. As usual the blu-ray format made for a better experience watching. The package contains two disks. Disk 1 contains both the original and an 'extended' version of the movie. I only watched the extended version. I didn't notice anything that was vastly different from the original, but the cleaned-up, sharper screen images were a treat. Disk 2 contains various extras, including a short feature on the movie, a 'mockumentary' about the first invasion, and a gag reel. I haven't watched any of the extras yet, but they're there. And of course, watching the movie again was fun.

This is a have to see movie. Will Smith is awesome.

Love the Movie now in 4K a classic very entertaining

Makes you can't wait to go and kick some ET's butt.

A better film than I remembered, along with the SteelBook box and a disc of extras made this an easy decision.

A great classic movie, great cast n funny n action

Huge ID4 Fan! Best in 4K quality highly recommend!

There still may be room for improvement on the 4K edition. Overall great picture and fantastic sound.

Just get the Blu Ray. There isn't HDR fir this title. 4K is merely a format, not the video quality.

Independence Day will be my forever guilty pleasure but man was it an actual pleasure to see it in 4k.

The Blu-ray looks great. I like that you can watch the theatrical version or the extended version.

This movie is just an absolute blast with everything you could want from a summer popcorn flick. I already had the previous bluray release which was pretty good but this offered more than enough reasons to double dip with 2 different cuts of the film and a brand new transfer from a 4K scan competing with the look of movies shot today 20+ years later. The only downside is the lack of a DTS X track, which can be found in the 4K release, however most people don't have the setup anyway therefore it isn't that much of a loss especially considering the stunning steelbook case it comes in which alone is worth the $. Also little disappointed with the the disc art. Seems like disc 1's artwork should have been on disc 2 and vice versa.

Yes, it’s a bit cheesy, but worth a pickup. The 4k transfer is decent, not amazing, but a fun movie.

Excellent movie glad I added it to my collection. I saw this when it first came out and loved it.

Another movie I find myself watching multiple times. Upgraded from DVD and it was worth it.

This is one of the best movies of the late 90's. If you haven't seen this something is wrong.

so happy to get this collector item in 4k----now will wait for the avengers to come down in price

One of the best films of it's kind, ID4 really delivers in the style of other great films- That being said, to the review, ID4 Tells the story of (gasp) an alien attack on our world ( long before Falling skies) the actions taken for contact are rebuffed, and most of the coastal cities are wiped out. Nuclear weapons are used without success, so the hero's turn to cyber warfare. They succeed and attack the aliens just as the aliens close in . My best pert in the entire film is pilot Case's final lines "I'm Back" just before he destroys the alien craft ( Can't say the rest of the line in the review-see the film -it is that good) So, in closing, I heartily recommend this feel good film. It really does live up to it's billing.

This was one of the first PG-13 movies I ever saw, a signal that I was growing up. This movie is so riveting, and it hasn't lost its charm. It has stood the test of time, and Hollywood is forever in its debt. So many blockbuster movies were influenced by it. The special effects still look real, not dated at all. It has a wonderful story, good heart, and an uplifting message of the ability of humans to work together congenially in a time when all movies think we can never get along. I mean, will the Marvel heroes ever stand one another? They bicker so much :-( Not here, and I am grateful for it. This world needs some positivity. Join with us, and we will celebrate our Independence Day!
