- INDEPENDENCE DAY: In the epic adventure film `Independence Day,' strange phenomena surface around the globe. The skies ignite. Terror races through the world's major cities. As these extraordinary events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that a force of incredible magnitude has arrived. Its mission: total annihilation over the Fourth of July weekend. The last hope to stop the destruction is an unlikely group of people united by fate and unimaginable circumstances. Here is my review of this banger alien invasion movie.

There was a deleted scene that went over how pretty much all modern technology was based on the ship they found, which is why the virus worked on their systems. The scene really shouldn't have been cut from the movie, it would've helped maintain plausibility.
Probably for time constraint reasons
@@dream6562 Yeah.... there is an "extended" edition of the flick with all the deleted scenes added back.... Just makes the film a lot longer
@@alejandromolinac 8 minutes longer.
if there was that deleted scene then it would only contradict itself further, because in the movie it is stated they could never get the ship to activate, and only just reactivated when the ships arrived for this movie.... so how could they develop modern technologies (software) when they could not activate the ship.
Even without the scene, wasn't it implied that was the case? The whole constant mention of Roswell New Mexico and all that?
Having worked in the OR, the thing that bothered me was when they bring the first lady in and the doc is like "She's bleeding internally, there's nothing we can do. If we got her sooner" like dude! did you even try and open her up to stop the bleeding? She's talking and awake. get in their and try! quitters!
I fucking love this movie. It’s always a July 4 tradition for me.
EDIT: The computer virus is this movie’s take on the Earth diseases killing the aliens at the end of The War of the Worlds. Makes sense given that the movie for all intents and purposes is a modern (for the time) remake of the 50’s War of the Worlds movie.
Also, it’s implied that our computer technology is based on the alien ship, and the aliens themselves make use of Earth’s satellites, so the computer hack isn’t as ridiculous as it quite seems.
A deleted scene says it straight out that our technology was just what they reversed engineered from the crashed space ship at Area 51
huh, I only just now got that.
And since our technology, according to the movie canon, is mostly based upon reverse-engineering theirs, that totally makes sense.
You know, thanks to the aliens using the satellite network, it stands to reason their signals can be hijacked and operating systems reverse-engineered in short order, since they did the same to the satellites.
the speed of doing that is movie magic, but it makes that cut scene superfluous.
and even though "we" defeated the aliens the destroyed alien ships were so HUGE imagine the devastation those ships would cause crashing to the ground
Yeah, considering each of those ships was probably several times the size of "Sokovia" From Age of Ultron, falling from those heights ... earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, hurricane force winds (at minimum), not to mention whatever the power sources of those ships are, leaking all over the place, also the damage caused to the planet from all that debris falling after the destruction of the mothership. Extinction level event? Maybe worse.
@@nooneofimportance2110 Exactly, but can't judge it too hard, this is the ultimate popcorn movie so you aren't allowed to think too hard about it.
Every year on the 4th of July I always watch the President’s speech scene on UA-cam because it was the best scene in the whole movie. It never gets old.
Lmaoo I thought I was the only one who did that 💀 😂
Fuck yeah, dude! 👊
As a British man I may not be well versed in the American spirit but the violence of that title card has got me interested and is probably the most stereotypically American thing I’ve seen today.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
@@Alteori hey Alteori could you please review The Sea Beast that is coming out on netflix in 2 days in July 8th and please do more of Monster Hunter, Godzilla, Jurassic Park/World and How To Train Your Dragon and Dragons the Nine Realms season 2 and 3 and Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous season 5
My Lord, what a pleasant surprise to found your here!
@@Alteori The comment I made on my first watch at the end of the movie: Hunhm, so how many millions of tons of salvageable alien tech do they have now? I mean, they already figured out how to patch up that fighter craft, what about the rest of it?
I'm not American but I still love this movie. One of my fav movies with aliens. The fact that the scenes with cities destruction are practical effects is amazing. And the chemistry between Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith is just awesome and funny.
Yeah, Independence Day is a very silly movie, but good gravy is it not an insanely fun one that I can rewatch again and again. The action is great, the effects still hold up nicely, and the dialogue is insanely quotable. I also love how they handled the aliens, both visually and tonally, especially in how they were built up and even after the all out city destruction. Also in my mind I like to think the crashed ship in Area-51 was a scout sent by the main force to investigate viable worlds for attacking and harvesting.
That intro was the best
I know.
As a 12 year old in Norway when this came out this is one of my favorite movies of all time... The patriotism is part of the charm.. Also seeing the destruction in the big screen back then was mindblowing... The model work in this movie is unprecedented.
I love this movie. There's one thing that not a lot of people pick up on. Humans are facing a technologically superior foe, and we come out on top. It demonstrates that humans have a certain something that makes us special. We're tenacious, smart, resilient, courageous, and stubborn. These aliens are used to going to a planet and dominating from the start. Their hubris led to humanity exploiting their weakness and maximizing the opportunity.
When he said "must go faster" Doctor Strange must've took him to multiple universe.
I saw this movie in theaters with my brother and sister and it blew me away! It's a lot of fun from start to finish!
It made $880 million dollars against a $75 million dollar budget.
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects!
5 years later, this movie would be pulled from it's FOX TV broadcast in 2001, due to the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, which had scenes that showed the Empire State Building and The White House getting blown up. Mrs. DOUBTFIRE would take it place. It would make its TV Debut on FX in 2002.
75 million dollar budget? Wow that's incredible return on that investment 👏
Ironically last night I watched Independence Day and it is one of my favorite alien movies. All I can say is that I love Will Smith's iconic quotes "Welcome to Earth" and "That's what I call a close encounter"
I’m almost 40, I saw this movie in theaters when I was 10, and I still get chills during that speech by Pullman and the final moments with Russell. Absolute Chads and they both just nail it.
“…and declare with ONE VOICE, ‘WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT!!!!’”
Uuuuuuuh! Gets me every time!
Yes this is the perfect Fourth of July movie I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid. God I miss the 90s my childhood. Also 24:31 hilarious.
I agree with you perfect movie for Fourth of July
The 90s was such a time to be a kid.
@@stellarthealiendeer (cough cough) jaws enters chat 😉
@@faded1to3black yes it was.
*NUKEM* Get them before they get you
Actor at 3:55 is Harvey Fierstein
He did not voice a character in All Dogs Go To Heaven (cuz I’ve seen that movie about a million times as a kid)
But he’s known as Yao from Mulan, and in other movies like Mrs.Doubtfire
He was one of the Skeksis in Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance as well.
Omg now I can't unassociat him and Yao haushauahuahauahau fuck.... Now I have to watch both movies again ahahhahahahahahahahha
I saw this movie in theaters as a kid people gasped in that first counter attack scene where the missiles hit the alien shield andI shit you not when the President character said "today we celebrate our Independence day!' a bunch of old dudes got up and started clapping and cheering , was hilarious.
This is one of the greatest movies of all time (fight me) and is still better than most alien/disaster movies that came since
I love the dog in this movie. Hands down best part of the movie, I mean he is just there being a dog. Completely unaware of what to do and it’s perfect.
I agree 😄
I love this movie. The guy that made this, who would later make the 1998 Godzilla movie, knows how to make movies that know exactly what they are, what genre it's in and just runs with it. Hollywood should be doing it like this nowadays and not shove the wrong side of reality up our asses constantly.
One thing to note is that these aliens are a kind of class base/ hive minded species. That leads to some fatalistic soldiers. It might have taunted then so it could die . That's my interpretation of it
Most American movie indeed!!! Second one make me very very sad in that regard, and I'm a Chinese!
Yes I actually have to agree it is so America this was my moms favorite movie ( RIP MOM )
Welcome to earth
For once in my life, I finally watched Independence Day on Independence Day. The guy with the scratchy voice; I love him. Only because I'm as eccentric and as animated as he is. Almost all his lines made me laugh really hard. But I'm glad you were doing the 'stop being so stupid' at all the parts I said that at while watching it the other night. If I hadn't watched this movie so many times, I would have been worried for the dog. Okay, I'm not gonna lie: I was worried for the dog despite knowing that it would survive. I think that's just who I am.
Also, can you believe I used to have nightmares about this movie and completely avoided watching it for a very long time? It was only a few years ago that I found it on DVD and was like 'I need this' because I had the second movie. STILL NOT GOING TO GIVE THE E.T. MOVIE A CHANCE. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME. E.T. is scarier than the aliens from Alien.
I love how Will Smith's character just casually opens the cockpit of the craft and punches the alien not knowing how big or strong it is or what it could do to him...lol for all he knows the moment he opens it the alien would just spit acid in his face
In the sequel they do the same and breaks his hand. XD
You have to realize that a soldier, sailor or airman in the heat of battle is saturated with adrenaline and with loss of fellow comrades, you just want to get you hands on the enemy, hazards be damned. Combat veterans will know this.
So is Battle: Los Angeles which us a somewhat guilty pleasure of mine.
For some reason I always find it both a little weird but also kind of cool when Americans use german words like "kaputt".
Amazing video as always by the way. Independence Day was one of my favorite Science Fiction movies besides Star Wars when I was younger.
Think of it this way...the English language is the bastard child of a Norman footsoldier trying to pick up a Saxon barmaid.
I remember watching this movie when I was younger with my father and being terrified-
@@cosmiccc4464 tf
I watched it with my dad too
Omg you are the actual best. I feel like having a drink with you would be amazing lol
Hello boys! IM BACK!!!!!
Always loooooooved this flick.... I notice nowadays with disaster flicks, the destruction is seen from far away.... In this movie they show a ton of people running in terror and you see their fear.....
About the hacking thing. In the directors/extended cut one Area 51 scientist said that they back enginerd the alien technology to make computers if I remember it correctly. That's why they could hack the modership.
This was an amazing movie when it came out. Great looking film, entertaining characters and nice pacing. 17:50... is that Chris Rock!???
Dare you to check out the knock off called Independents Day. Yes thats the actual title
oh jesus is it by asylum?
@@Alteori most likely
This is one of my favorite movies I’m glad you covered it
Me and my friends actually watched this the night of the Fourth. Was pretty fun.
The speech the President did before the end battle STILL gives me chills!
This film is impressive on the big screen when the big ship breaks through the clouds
The countdown thing could probably just be that it takes a long time to power up the generators, which is important for their primary weapon? Apart from the fact that these gigantic ships can only move very slowly in our atmosphere and gravity?
Oooor it is just the plot, so that all came together as it should be in the end. Convenient?
Lmao you are right tho this movie is my most favorite alien movie along with Tom cruises war of the worlds
Agree but I put war of the worlds first
@@dawsonkozel4171 damn I agree with you actually
@@stellarthealiendeer I’m actually rewatching war of the worlds right now
@@dawsonkozel4171 hell yeah!
Awesome review loved how much fun you had with it because it made it even funnier plus I also cracked up at that cat skit so funny 😆
I like that you added the Jurassic Park reference.
I watch this movie every Independence day.
Independence Day is my favourite film of all time.
i remember watching this as a kid and the scene where the president is under area 51, and seeing the alien talk through the doctor in the glass room, with the tenticles around the guys neck, scared the HELL outta me!! so awesome
Hello Alteori.
That was a great movie. Funny, weird but great. Seen it as a trailer on DVD then seen the whole movie on television, the AMC channel is where is watched it.
Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
Your squeals are gold ! 🤟🏾😎
The guy with the funny voice is also in Miss Doubtfire as the brother of Robin Williams character
14:15 You have not met my dog named Dingo. She is a Chihuahua/ Dachshund mix. If food is not part of the equation then she is not interested. She gave no animal senses warning of the last 2 quakes here in California. She slept through both. She also soundly sleeps through the July 4th fireworks. Her direct involvement to potential disasters is meaningless to her. She is much more traumatized when not getting any McDonalds chicken nuggets.
That thumbnail is amazing
love the guy with the throaty voice. My dad and I sometimes impersonate his final words in the film whenever relevant to a situation. "Oh, crap!" lol
🤣
The ultimate 'Murica Fuck Yeah! film. Randy Quaid has kind of turned into Looney Russell Case as he's gotten older.
XD I had the video interrupted by a live feed starting at a funny time. I'll leave when to your imagination.
You're referencing Harvey Forbes Fierstein for the gravelly voice tv guy. He was NOT in All Dogs Go To Heaven. The ADGTH guy your thinking about was Vic Tayback (from the tv show Alice and the Star Trek episode Piece of the Action). Oh and as a lifetime resident of Los Angeles I can attest to the fact that there exists a feeling that any tremor under 4.5 on the Reichter Scale we ignore or sleep through.
Harvey is also a treasure of a human being.
Dogs are terrified of fire and explosions but it's important to remember that Boomer is a lab.
Speaking as someone who has known many labs: Head empty, brain gone, no thoughts. Dog's too stupid to be scared.
I love this movie, I got both versions. You may like the added scenes from the Extended Edition. Great review, got some good laughs out of it.
I enjoyed the video it was funny!
This is the definitive popcorn flick and one of my favourites
Love these reviews. Here's a few other super natural / creature movies you could do:
The new duaghter
Don't be afraid of the dark
Riddick
Helll boy
Animatrix
Gotta love the aliens design and they're techs.
Edit 1 someone should watch Jojo's
The computer virus is actually a pretty clever plan. It was said elsewhere that there's a deleted scene which explains that our modern technology is actually based on what was recovered from the Roswell crash, but I'm pretty sure they actually still say so in the movie itself at some point, albeit briefly. There's a lot of contrivances in this movie, but the virus isn't one of them.
That still doesn't make sense unless the alien ship literally runs on Mac OS
@@destroyer1667 Even so, the fact that programming doesn’t cross over well between systems that are only distantly related is much easier to suspend your disbelief over than the alternative. (Especially for the general public which is less familiar with programming) In one scenario the logic is at least reasonable, if ultimately flawed, while the other is total nonsense.
Hope you had a great 4th of July!
The guy who plays the president was also in the Mel Brooks Star Wars parody. He was a combo of Han Solo with a dash of Luke. “Spaceballs”. Loved that movie since I was little. Joan Rivers plays a C-3PO character. Still makes me laugh. 😹
Alteori you are my favorite UA-cam because I can relate I just wanted to say that
Aww. Thanks so much 😃
I remember the first time watching this movie (I was very young, maybe 9 or ten), and let's just say i was terrified, but after rewatching, i just really like it
Alteori: "Alright seriously, that's probably the last of it"
0:44 XD
😆😆
Gosh, stop breaking my stuff!! Jesus
Are you drawing the thumbnails? Cause I notice it's the same style as yhe ones in your other channel
4:39 Earthquakes in L.A. are like Hurricanes in Florida.
But for real Russell Casse *salute* is the real hero of this movie!
Would you consider reviewing/reacting to a show called The Owl House, it's an amazing animated show on Disney (the magic system is amazing)
Really good show
I love this movie. It is a silly fun movie. I love the guy with a scratchy voice.
An alien movie I really enjoyed is War of the Worlds!
Would be cool to see a review on that one sometime too!
It's a good movie independence day and you're right mankind has been trying to conquer each other before America was even on the world map but some would like to believe that it was only the native Americans not knowing the true history of the world.. I guess 300 didn't give them a clue that man was at conflict before America.
totally agree Jeff Goldblum plays every character in his movies all the same!!!!
I think I've seen this movie before, and honestly those aliens were more than patient and gave them time to leave
This is was so good and I love itv
yow that other 90s alien movie was crazy too
One of my favorite alien movies.
I loved watching this movie
You have the cutest laughs. 😆
Independence Day poster looks cool
Harvey Fierstein is a national treasure. Man won 4 Tony awards.
Like the new thumbnail art recently
7:30 it's to while out the opposition all at once, plus fear. As soon as the first ship fires we will rally our defenses. If they take there time it's unlikely we will attack first, and if we do, it likely won't be or best attack first, we would be sizing them up first. They can stroll in, them take us out at once, giving us less time to defend ourselves and then form a counter attack
The best movie I saw as a kid. Love the dog fights scenes and used to pretend on my bike lol. All the one-liners and seeing the other fighter jets joining together to defeat the aliens
Pretty sure the raspiness of dancing guy's voice is to simulate horrendous smoking habits.
I have this movie on DVD it's one of my favorite 90's films
Honestly you said it...... The only plot armor i ever enjoy or even hope for is with the animals in movies (usually the dog). I don't know if its just me but i have literally stopped watching a movie right in the middle that i have been enjoying thoroughly, just because they killed the dog off. If it's a movie where that is to be expected (like Marley and me) then okay, i can kind of handle it.
I think it's because i got a few movies for Christmas when i was younger and watched them that day. Movie number one was Where The Red Fern Grows, movie number two was Eight Below, movie number three was Two Brothers, and the fourth was Black Beauty.... as a young child that loved animals i guess my parents thought they would be enjoyable (because they didn't know what they were but there were animals), but all they did was ruin that day and leave me scared.... I don't think i have ever finished Eight below and even seeing the cover of the film just makes me sick.
30:53
There is a very quick James Brown cameo in this film. You can hear a split second of his iconic scream as Russell's plane explodes.
Anyone else sad there wasn't a reaction to the Speach.
In my opinion one of the best speaches in cinema. It gives me fucking chills everytime I hear it and or read it.
Still bummed the the sequel was sooo off
The best scene for me is Steven(Will Smith) beating the ever losving shit out of the Alien after they both crash. Both me and my mom love that scene, and crack up every time we watch it.
Harvey Fierstein. He's not just a voice actor. Character parts are his second career. He was a huge stage writer and actor in the 80s. Find the film version of Torchsong Triliogy.
I used to love this movie when I was a kid looking back at it it’s not good
I fucking love alteori’s laugh 🤣 0:46
To be fair the huge black thing probably looks like a big black cloud. They probably already glanced at it thinking nothing till they took a closer look.
Honestly I think the aliens are like boys with glass on little ants. However over them then move back just watch the reaction.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😁
just a suggestion you should do some video game monsters there are some really good ones like Margwas COD zombies shadow of evil or dead space monsters, there are loads of good stuff in game. I'm just curious on what u think of the design and stuff
That's Harvey Fierstein! He's an Icon. And yes he is all Broadway! Love that man!
Oh he's Broadway! I KNEW IT!!! He seems like a sweet person in real life. What happened to him?
@@Alteori He's around, He wrote Kinky Boots with Cyndi Lauper, won some Tony Awards and is still killin it 😍
Also, LOVE your content! Especially the throwbacks you're posting lately!
