- This is a movie reaction to my first time watching Independence Day, released in 1996 and directed by Roland Emmerich. This film was corny, cheesy fun with a solid cast, especially from Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Will Smith, Judd Hirsch and Randy Quaid. Alien invasion, extermination, explosions galore, and some memorable quotes from these characters. Make sure to stick around to the end of this video for my full thoughts and review and thank you so much for watching!

What will really blow your mind...
The Wright Brothers first flew on December 17th, 1903. As the movie displayed, the Apollo crew landed on the moon on July 20th, 1969.
That means, humankind went from no powered flight of any sort, essentially being completely ground-bound...to leaving our world and landing on another, in just 66 years. A child that might've gotten to see the Wright brothers' first flight, could've watched with their grandchildren as Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon. We got that far, in a single generation.
That's the technological equivalent of an infant running and winning an Olympic Decathlon the day after they learn to walk.
That was six decades ago. Look how little we've accomplished since then, by comparison. Same amount of time, and all we've really managed now is a barely functional internet that's slowly killing our species.
Don't feel bad about the jump scare with Dr. Oaken in the lab. People who've seen this movie a hundred times and KNOW unequivocally the EXACT moment it happens...still get got by that one. One of the best jump-scares in cinema. Those are always the best...the ones you know are coming, but are still so sudden, in a moment of such otherwise total inactivity, that you still fall for it.
Just a little story for you, when I watched this in the theater, the people cheered when the white house was taken out.
Will Smith movie to watch- 7 pounds.
I love Judd Hirsch, David's father. He's awesome.
This movie gave us the greatest fictional U.S. President of all time.
That speech?! LEGENDARY.
What about President James Marshall?
Yes! LONE STAR !!!
President Bartlett.
Andrew Shepherd
He's got nothing on president james marshall, of the movie air force one. The best portrayal of a president.
Bill Pullman as the president is one the best casting in history. That speech is just epic!
Most memorable moment... when Will Smith punched that little alien, yelling , "Keep my wife's name out of your %$#@ mouth!!!"
He shall ever be known as LONE-STARR
@@marflitts
The Schwartz was with him.
I saw this in the theatre and I kid you not, after the president's speech, we all cheered. It was like we forgot that we were watching a movie for a second. That speech was so powerful and is exactly how I would want to hear my president speak if we were facing something this big.
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and made $890 million dollars at the box office against a $75 million dollar budget.
The fact that she has no idea what she's talking about and has absolutely no taste in movies shouldn't be a surprise by now.
Two constants in life every year: it's not the 4th of July until the alien ship fireworks and it's not Christmas until Hans drops at Nakatomi Tower.
Anytime I have a bad day at work, I think of “I could have been at a barbecue” complaint from Will Smith, since he had it worse
My favorite line in the whole movie isn’t even words. It’s when Jasmine asks the kid how she looks, he gives her the so so hand signal.. Cracks me up every time..
Unpopular opinion: I really enjoyed the President's speech, but the crowning moment of this film for me was when Will Smith went "Stop side-seat driving!" That cracks me up every time.
Adam Baldwin, whose character killed the murderous alien at Area 51, is also in "Firefly," "Serenity," "Predator 2," "Chuck," "Control Factor," "Star Quest 2," and "The last Ship." He has covered quite a lot of ground in science fiction.
Firefly is awesome, but let's not forget about Brent Spiner.
@@jatmas11 I haven't.
Full metal jacket also
@@realisticthought1781 I was focusing on other science fiction.
@@LtDan-rk4si I think that Stephen Baldwin is okay, also. He, William, and Alec aren't Adam's brothers, though. As far as I know they aren't related to him but coincidentally have the same last name.
This movie will always hold a special place for me. It’s just fun. It’s been 26 years and the president’s speech still gets me choked up.
Nice reaction, I do want to say that the reason this movie is so long is this was the peak of AAA when it came out in theaters, peak level graphics and 3d animation. The scene where the ship shoots the beam down and destroys the building, along with the fire raging down the public street, this was the first time such things were shown on screen.
In my opinion, the main reason you could predict everything is because you are living in a post Avengers movies world, or in other words you are already desensitized to this kind of mass destruction being shown on film, yet in 1996 this was cutting edge as hell especially if you saw this in Imax.
David's father is the REAL hero in this movie.
Always looking forward to see your movie reactions. 😁
Have a great day! Good journey! 👍💯
Thanks so much!
I felt the same way you did the first time I watched this in theatres back in the day. I've rewatched it many many times since and each time it just gets better and better. I love the score, love the corny one liners and that speech still gives me chills to this day! Great reaction.
This is my birthday ritual movie. I watch it every 4th of July. What's not to love? Great characters, great effects, great one liners, fantastic score, fantastic visuals, well edited... It is the epitome of a classic summer blockbuster event. Right up there with Men in Black and so many other movies of the mid 90s that just defined the cinema going experience for me.
I saw this in theaters I think the day after it came out. The one thing I remember is when they showed the scene with the White House getting destroyed you could hear several people crying in the audience.
I love this movie. It's over 28 years old and still looks incredible lol
14:13 that shot is iconic
14:55 the audience in theaters cheered at that part for obvious reasons lol
18:18 one of the best lines of the movie lol
19:59 that was mostly improv by Will and the smell he's asking about is actually coming from the dry lake bed they're on lol
32:10 one of the best speeches in cinema history
39:38 Jeff was talking to the director about his line in Jurassic Park and they thought It would work really well here, so they put it in "must go faster, must go faster, must go faster!" Lol
“Special” people should be treated regularly in situations like that, agreed. However, they should also be protected in situations like that.
So.... I was on board the ship that picked up the Apollo 11 Astronauts. In fact, the helicopter that picked them up at the capsule was flown by my squadron commanding officer. It is my favorite space related event.
That's so cool!!
I love how you were able to predict so much and I agree that Will Smith is Will Smith in every movie. Personally, I am not a fan of his humor, but I think it's perfect for the movie. Also, unrelated to that, whenever anyone says "Fire at will," I am incapable of not responding with "Poor Will."
I always say, what did Will do?
I was almost 9 months old when the moon landing took place. My dad woke me up and sat me in front of the TV, just so I could say that I saw it.
I was a Junior in High School we had Pizza and Champagne at my Best Friend's house in Allentown, Pa.! there were about 12 of us there.
43:14 You called it. Young me adored this movie back in the day. I can't deny it's corny, but it's also everything I want from a summer blockbuster.
I was in the Atlanta Olympic marching band in 1996 for the Atlanta Olympics. This movie came out around the opening ceremonies and I was telling all my friends hey if the aliens are gonna attack, this would be the time for the attack.
for a movie nearly 30years old now i think the graphics hold up its a movie you put on when you just want to enjoy a no brainer movie.
Oh, yeah, the declaration of independence was actually signed on July 2nd. Makes sense to start the movie there. The 4th of July is when it took affect. Makes sense to have both dates noted.
Great Reaction To This Great Classic Movie, I Watch This Movie Every 4th Of July, It's a Tradition
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must...go...faster..." 🦖
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "MUST GO FASTER!!!" 👽
The Will Smith/Jeff Goldblum combo was just gold! Incredibly fun, action-packed sci-fi movie!!
This is definitely my childhood memories and I remember when I watch this film, I enjoy the action and werid scary alien. Thanks for the memories 😊❤
That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching. 😊
I don't believe that laptop stopped an alien invasion without once asking to update the Adobe.
1:45 Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are the best space thing we did. One has left our solar system and 2 is about to leave our solar system.
"How do they not notice that? What do they look at when they walk?"... - Some folks, even without a cell phone, are completely unaware of their surroundings or the space they occupy in it. Even scarier, is that some of these folks DRIVE. Yikes!
Cell phones, the bane of human society.
I think they were so big and in their peripheral visual areas that their brains just blended the ships into the existing mountains.
That Russel scene always makes me all gooey, ugh I love it.
...Aaand then Randy Quaid actually became his character from this flick.
Wen Voyager 1 reached interstellar space in August 2012 ,We became an interstellar species then cause we're no longer bound to the sun. The Hubble Deep Fields are cool af too!!!!! Can't wait for more JWST Deep Fields.
Best thing about this movie? Way, way,way better than Independence Day 2.
definitely your classic: sit back with some popcorn, explosions, one-liners, and underrated soundtrack
Evacuate a City, Hurricanes we have days and can't get everyone out.
A great Will Smith movie (Enemy of the State) if you haven't seen it yet.
Love Enemy of the State as well!
My favorite space thing is when the two side boosters landed side by side from the first SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch. Chills
It’s a super campy pseudo sci-fi comedy. I like it, it’s great watching it in surround sound but maybe your assessment is correct a guilty pleasure. I do watch it every 4th of July.
I'm thinking (once the shields are down) the majority of other city ships were taken out by small nukes (obviating the need to target the primary weapon). They only had to do aerial battle with ships near remaining populations.
Didn't get to see this in the theaters, so when it came out on home video I picked up a tape & took it back my barracks room to watch it. I was active duty Army at the time, stationed in the middle of nowhere, California desert. Had the room to myself, so I was just parked on my bunk watching it...got to 14:37 and, at the _exact_ moment that Air Force One was taking off & barely outrunning the massive fireball, all of the power on the entire base went out. It had never happened before, it never happened again in the time I was there. Just a wee bit freaky. 😂😂😂
One of the least _science_ movies in the science fiction genre, but still an incredibly fun watch.
This was back when we thought Randy Quaid was just acting.
I always kind of wonder if the president's call sign when he was a fighter pilot was Lone Star. 😂😂😂
Fun fact -- there's a Special Edition of this movie that's actually 9 minutes *longer* than this one. Main thing it adds is stuff where Russell Case's younger son needs medication, which makes their financial situation more dire, as well as a subplot where the daughter has a dorky boyfriend.
Not only did this skyrocket Will Smith to stardom and make a huge mark as one of the biggest blockbusters of the '90s, it also launched director Roland Emmerich into the big time. He has gone onto make other disaster movies similar to this one like The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, and the recent Moonfall, as well as the widely-hated 1998 American Godzilla movie. I can't say I really recommend any of these, as they're like this but even dumber. Emmerich also returned for 2016's Independence Day: Resurgence, along with many of this film's cast members, although in the unlikely event that you watch that movie, I will let you discover for yourself who else returns and who doesn't (I bet at least some people on both sides of that will really surprise you). As I said on Patreon when you posted the full watch-along, I liked many of the ideas that went into that movie and was interested to see what they would do with the third film, but then the second film bombed and they never made the trilogy-capper they had in mind.
One of my favorite films of the '90s (which he may have even done directly after this one) stars Bill Pullman. It is, as is usually the case with me, a forgotten gem. I'll have to put that one on the list of possibilities should I be lucky enough to win the Member of the Month pick.
Younger folk unfortunately have deteriorated attention spans and can't even sit through a full youtube short.
I think I saw that version. Wasn't there a minor script change where Will Smith punched that little alien, and yelled , "Keep my wife's name out of your %$#@ mouth!!!" ?
24:18
No.
That was just the space suit they cut open.
1. Hiller is a USMC Captain he knows his holiday off is over. That's why he didn't even have to wait to be called in. Jasmine should know that.
2. In the theater I was in the people in there actually stood up and cheered when the White House and the Capitol Building blew up.
3. In my top 10 reasons out of thousands to NOT live in a Metropolis. Getting the hell out.
4. Lisa Jakub/Alicia is FINE!😍😋
5. Brent Spiner/Dr. Okum played Data in Star Trek TNG. It's nice to see him with emotions.
6. Goof: The president said he sent up an AWAC. It's AWACS= Airborne Warning And Control SYSTEM.
7. Hiller FAIL parashoot jump.🙄😲
8. My favorite Will Smith movie is, "I am Legend".
My favourite astronomical thing is speed related. The fastest man-made object ever is one of the probes that is orbiting the sun taking readings; it reached 163 km/s at perihelion in 2021, though it's expected to break that record later this year. At that speed, assuming it could be maintained, it would take 77,609 YEARS to reach the Centauri star system. Really puts interstellar sizes into perspective.
@7:40 It wouldn't be a total eclipse since the blocking object is so much closer to the ground, so lots of light is leaking in from the sides. With eclipses, the blocking object is preventing a very wide angle of light from hitting the surface of the planet.
@9:45: The whole fight or flight instinct idea has been completely disproved psychologically. It's simply not a human response pattern, though some other animals have it. A good example of why this isn't a human thing is that women typically react to danger differently than men.
@29:25: Everyone makes fun of the computer virus subplot. In a deleted scene it was explained that the computer revolution happened because of reverse-engineered alien technology. David's virus worked because he was using an Apple laptop and Apple chips are closer to the original tech. Still over-the-top, but at least it's marginally plausible.
When the crop duster dad pressed the missile button by accident before the attack, I think he accidentally screwed something up and that's why his last missile didn't launch.
All I can say about this movie is that it holds a very special place in my heart as it was the first movie I saw in theaters after graduating from Navy Basic Training in June of 96.
March plans? Prep for a few upcoming musicals I have coming up (I do sound mixing and design), and spend a weekend doing things "other", including going to see Hamilton (finally!). Hope your March is great!
Sounds awesome!
It is the alien's original use of the satellites that allowed the hacking to be able to travel both ways. The aliens were using earthling tech to communicate with each other so it was them who deciphered the coding language barrier that David found so it was easy to utilize the backdoor access for humanity's retaliation.
This movie is quite old now and you're definitely spoiled for choice due to later movies that came after this and so you are too young to appreciate this for what was when it came out and also the generational deterioration of attention span means that you just can't handle longform art that people in the 80's and 90s are used to (there is a standard non-extended edition that may be better for the younger generation and the TV cut is even shorter). This movie is a great 4th of July movie that most all Americans put on or tune into on TV.
Like I said in my review, if I had watched this back when it released in 96 or even in the year or two after, I'd have probably loved it and it'd be a movie that I still love. Unfortunately I just have no way of knowing, so I come at this from who I am today of course. ☺️
What scares me is not Area 51, but the others areas...1-50.
Amazing classic Independence Day starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Robert Loggia and Randy Quaid. Thank you kaiielle great reaction awesome. Next time reacts the sequel Independence Day: Resurgence
Please don’t, horrible movie
Nice opening. I haven’t heard that song in quite some time. Great tune! 😅
even i am not a fan of elon musk, when those two boosters came down from space and landed on two pats on their butts, i was really in awe.
The latest reaction of my favorite movie this year!
It is always very exciting, it plays very well with feelings and with the idea of heroism; it makes it epic
Love your shirt! 🤘🏻
Jinjer shirt, love it!
I wear my Jinjer shirts a LOT. I need more. 🤣
Interesting question :) My favorite space thing is the Voyager probes. I think its fascinating to see how far we can go.
Thanks, kaielle. Yes, I saw this in 96 .
Another wonderful review from the one and only KL! I forgot how corny this movie was sometimes, but certainly one of those classics
Also, ALIENS! Hell Yeah! XD
It is cheesy but is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is from a time when movies were more often made for fun over message. Ironically its sequel is its opposite as more message than fun.
38:03 Me walking into the toilet after quesadillas
21:04 That doctor is played by Brent Spiner, who is known for his roles in Star Trek.
So many people forget or don't know that.
This is my favorite movie.
For those who go into a mainstream scale action sci fi blockbuster looking for compelling charachter engagements, interactions, a strong plot that makes sense. And meaningfulness to it do you think Independence Day is the must see for them
Hi Kaielle just saw you on the Poppies and thought I'd come check you out 😆
Hi Scott! 👋
They managed to beat an advanced alien race with Windows 95. Bill Gates must have known something :D
Yeah, they didn't need to upload a virus, all they needed was to install Windows 95. I can picture the scene on the bridge of the alien ship.
"Raise shilds"
- are you sure?
"Yes!"
"How long does this take?"
"I think it froze, sir. Try hitting control-alt-delete."
- Windows failed to shut down properly last time ...
Kaiielle I really like your reaction to independent States my favorite alien movie my favorite part is when will smith punchs the alien says welcome to Earth🛸👽 and when bill Pullman does the president's speech🇺🇲 Hope I know sometimes don't like that 1 but I like it and I think you should give it a try Kaiielle it's not about people think, it's what think you of it !
I love this movie, but I always wondered if Russel couldn't just eject from the jet before it crashed.
Maybe he wanted to die a hero!
Considering he was directly under the center of the ship, ejection would’ve prolonged his life by maybe 2 seconds. The incredible explosion caused by the his jet hitting the firing element would’ve cooked him midair, and if that didn’t do it, he and the entire city would’ve been crushed by the crashing ship. There is absolutely zero chance of survival by ejection.
@@MrJayforce22 I suppose you are right
So glad that you are reviewing the film Alien. Its sequel to the first is that which T-2 is to The Terminator. So atleast I know you will be happy with the future reviews that you will soon record. Yeah this movie was just a great big popcorn all-star cast kind of flick that ruled the box office in the mid 90's. It's just a fun watch and a staple shown on our cable/satellite every 4th of July. Lol. I'm glad you got a kick out of it. Great review!
I've already reacted to Alien on the channel. Aliens is the one coming out in two weeks! And thank you.
I plan on watching more of your reactions during March. 😉
I remember missing this in the theater but reading the novelization.
Not even 20 seconds in and already liked the video... LOVE me some Jinjer!
edit: Had to really think about it while watching this; I think the space-related accomplishment I like most is when the Voyager probes used gravitational slingshots to visit up-close all of the major outer planets, but that is in large part due to serendipitous positioning of those planets and some excellent math skills. It's not the most impressive thing we've done, but I like it a lot. An honorable mention would be how early we were able to measure the distance of a lot of stars using parallax. As to this movie... the fire tsunami blew my mind in the theaters. Regular tsunamis freak me the f#
I'm recovering from my last bout with covid
Get well soon!
This movie has more plot holes it should be titled "swiss cheese"
Deep Impact with Morgan Freeman as your president is an ok watch,even if it is just for Morgan
There was another ending where Russel was refused as a pilot so he straps missiles to his biplane and rams the alien ship but the ending we got was much better showing him make the choice for his kids
Love your Jinjer shirt. I have that same one.
CERT Advisory CA-96.13 addresses the security hole in EvilAlien/OS exploited by Jeff Goldblum's character.
Most unrealistic part of the movie: Russel almost launching a missile from a jet while on the ground. The weight-on-wheels switch would never allow a missile to fire or even the chain gun to be fired. It’s impossible. And a missile wouldn’t “spool up” like you heard in the movie, it would be instantaneous. An easy oversight for movie makers who are not aware of such failsafes, but as a former USAF F-16 flight line guy, it makes me laugh😂
hahaha...It's full of unrealistic things, but it's so much damn fun anyway...
I Don't want my name to be Will because they keep firing at him
Your mom was born a year after me? Good lord! I'm ancient.
I don't think my mom is ancient which means YOU'RE not ancient!
@@kaiielle Oh, you made my day!!!
Have you seen Mars Attacks? It's basically the comedy version of this directed by Tim Burton even.
I have all 2 of this on dvd
I love this movie. When it comes to unrealistic and corny. Same goes with Marvel movies. 😅 but that's what makes it not boring and fun to watch. It's also a comedy movie and for young people.
Standare Roland Emmerich shlockbuster - cartoonish characters spouting ridiculous dialogue in yet another end-of-the-world scenario. Lots of fun...as long as you're willing to turn off your brain for the duration. lol
I watch this movie EVERY July 4th
I don't know why the aliens bothered to synchronize the attack. It's not like anybody could have done anything to stop them if some of the ships fired early.
It's a comfort to know that at this moment, a Millenial is hard at work on the 21st century's first $ 3B earning, 15 minute, cinematic masterpiece entirely filmed on an iPhone 23, using special FX techniques that aren't going to be invented for another 30 years. But hey, back in the 90s we were working with stone and chisel. The older generations appreciate the strength of character required to suffer through our clumsy attempts at entertainment.
Thanks for sharing one of your comforts. ☺️
Your "thumbnail shot" is an homage to an even better film called "The Right Stuff", which you should put on your list.
There's something in my eye... That'll be your finger 🤣
You should watch Enemy of the State if you've never seen it. Another Will Smith banger!
This movie was refused funding, technical support, and uniform permissions by the Department of Defense because the director and writers refused to remove Area 51 from the film.
Actually what the father said about all you need is Love is actually true. Not just in the sense of having a loved one or a spouse. But having love in your heart. Once you have that, then you'll be able to open yourself up, and people will see that you're a good person. You may or may not have a lot of money but you'll be rich forever.
21:34 actually happened.
I feel the same way about this movie. Saw it for the first time at 21 and it didn't hit the same it would've if I saw it as a kid
