Movie Reviews of Independence Day [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: a great popcorn flick
Summary: 4 Stars
I very recently bought the 40 GB PS3 and havent watched a decent amount of Blu ray titles to be able compare this release to. I will say that so far, from what I have seen, this Blu ray release is definitely top notch as far as PQ and SQ go. Colors were very clear and in many cases bold. I dont have an HDMI receiver so I was only able to hear the 1.5 mps DTS CORE track. Still, even that more then met my expectations. I can only imagine how good the uncompressed PCM track would sound. The only gripe I have is the fact that the "extended cut" edition of this movie wasent included. Space was obviously not a problem so FOX has no excuse. im willing to lay odds that sometime in the near future there will be yet another Blu-ray release of this movie with both cuts. I for sure wont double dip again. if you have an HDMI receiver you owe it to yourself to buy or at least rent this movie. You wont be sorry. As for the folks like me who only have a receiver with an optical connection. Were still getting one heck of a treat!Movie Review: Great movie, great price!

This is one of my favorite movies, so when we bought a Blu-ray player in early December, I wanted a Blu-ray version of this movie. I did price comparison research for a few days and the price on Amazon,(at the time I was searching and purchased it), was amazing in comparison to other places I searched. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because although the quality was great, it did not appear to be markedly improved in Blu-ray versus previous viewings in other formats. Perhaps my expectations were too high? Despite that, I am still glad I purchased it. Great movie, great price, great service and shipping from Amazon.Movie Review: Still fun to watch, better in Blu
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are looking for the extended cut, you won't find it here. This is the original theatrical version (that is why I left off 1 star). If you are reading these reviews to decide if you want to buy this movie, my best advice is that if you like movies like the old 70's disaster movies, like Earthquake, or Towering Inferno you will probably like this flick. Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith carry the movie, along with the special effects. If you are looking for a sci-fi movie that entertains on a popcorn level you really can't do much better than this one.Movie Review: Awesome Blu-Ray!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is hands down one of the best Blu-Ray transfers I have seen so far. The video is crisp and clean with no visible artifacting. The audio is clear and defined with super nice bass. I would have to say I was really impressed with this BD. It was a pleasure to watch this movie again.
I was dissapointed in only one regard and that was that this was not the extended directors cut (it is just the regular theatrical cut). I think that if the producers would added the Directors cut to this it would have really made this disc a 5 star!
Movie Review: Theater release -- not director's cut
Summary: 4 Stars
Independence Day is pretty much a perfect example of a "Summer Blockbuster" done exceedingly well. Sit back and enjoy very well done entertainment. The one caveat on this particular BluRay release is that it's the Theatrical Release and _not_ the Director's Cut. That's a big disappointment because the Director's Cut was significantly better in terms of providing lots of little vignettes which deepened that standard Summer Blockbuster story line. Hopefully they'll eventually release the Director's Cut on BluRay.
