Customer Ratings & Reviews

Independence Day still holds up as one of the best guilty pleasures out there. A Summer popcorn muncher that defines the term, the movie is packed with the perfect balance of action, humor, good characters, great visual effects, and memorable moments, essentially everything that makes a "blockbuster" a "blockbuster." It'll be interesting to see if the sequel can match the original's charm, excitement, and lasting appeal, a tall order to be sure but one that team of Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich are capable of filling. As for this new Blu-ray, it's terrific. A strong improvement over an already good transfer is alone worth the price of admission. A few more new extras would have been nice, but the legacy supplements are terrific. The absence of a new audio track is the only real drawback to this release. Still, it comes very highly recommended.

A nice blu-ray transfer is made even nicer in 4k. Fun,

Great movie, worth the investment, highly recommended...

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.

I like this movie because it has great action scenes.
