A classic sci-fi. I loved this movie as a kid.

A 90s classic, with the best battle of F-18 vs. Spaceships, just amazing

Quintessential 90s filled with 90s optimism. Everything’s fubar but we’ll fix it in the nick and we’ll do it with a quip. Miss that feeling.

Everything about this is big. Big score, big characters, big action, and big cultural impact. It’s cheesy, but it’s mostly just a blast.

Super awesome film. Will Smith brings a lot to the table. Great visual effects for the time. Cool, patriotic story. Would watch again

Un clásico del género, imperdible si te gustan el tema de los aliens, gran cast y efectos para la época

I just rewatched this for the first time in maybe 20 years. I’d forgotten what an amazingly entertaining movie this was. 2 hours well spent.

Honestly it’s kind of forgettable. There were fun moments. Maybe it’s just not for me. A very 90s movie! If you like that, you’ll love this!

A solid disaster movie. It was a great watch as a kid.

Good acting, comedic fun, and good effects
