I don't trust anyone who doesn't like this movie.
This is a top tier disaster flick that provides the cheesiness, the effects, the explosions and everything else you want in a blockbuster.

ALI AND I WATCH IT EVERY FOURTH OF JULY.
shareIt's a heck of a fun movie. Not a great movie, and definitely not a movie that makes sense, but it's FUN!
You know, someone asked why people love bad movies but don't love movies on the GD board, and it's because bad or cheesy movies can be extremely enjoyable - like this one. You may laugh out loud at the idea of some nerd being able to write a computer virus in alien code that disables all their systems, but everyone still loves to see alien butt kicked at the end.
I saw this in the theatre and when Jeff Goldblum says that he was going to give the alien ship a "cold", I just sat there in the theatre thinking how stupid it was but accepting the absurdity at the same time. When I left the theatre, people were making fun of it so much but it sounded like they enjoyed it.
shareAbsolutely right
shareThe only part of this movie that i've grown disinterested with as time rolls by is Will Smith. Every time he's on screen it turns into a Will Smith movie. It's a bit distracting. That was fun in the hype of the moment. But i'm over it!
shareIt’s in my top 10 list.

shareI was invited to the premiere. My friend and I took a bottle of vodka in with us. We had front row seats, so it was like we were in the movie. A red carpet, a vodka rush and aliens, what more could you possibly want?
shareIt's not in my top 10, but it's in my "top 10 just pure entertaining films".
