at 8:10 I can name a reason why aliens would pick a fight with us, it's because we're dangerous, we constantly wage war with each other and at the same time kill our planet, if we got past our solar system we would surely kill anything that isn't us under the pretense of protecting ourselves, so it's it would be better if someone got us how we are now instead of waiting until it's to late

Rewatching this movie its so apparent that the actors and characters make this movie the classic that it is. The plot is basic, there's plenty of things you have to blindly accept, script is okay, but from Bills speech to Jeff's nerdy sarcasm to Wills insane charisma it's hard to replicate. The entire cast seemed to have great chemistry with everyone and great performances all around. Perfect popcorn movie

I worked at a theater that summer. It was rough. I had to build 6 prints of this film so we could run them through two projectors ear and have 12 simultaneous showings. It was crazy. Such a busy summer with big Hollywood films. This is probably the best description of a "Popcorn Movie". Light humor, fun, action packed, dogs jumping away from fire like the Millennium Falcon escaping the second DeathStar.

As a viewer, I used to love digital since you could watch it opening night or 3 months in and it would look/sound the same. But now that even Theatrical Only releases are so short it doesnt seem to matter.

@Kristopher Chavez from memory, the 'Independence Day' speech is in iambic pentameter. It's a homage to the 'Saint Crispin's Day' speech by Shakespeare in 'Henry the Fifth'. It's a literary technique that Shakespeare commonly used - all the characters speak in everyday prose but the noble leader gives a rousing speech in poetry. There is frequently a lot more going on in a Roland Emmerich movie than big explosions.

I saw it 1 1/2 times on opening day. 1/2 because the first time was cut short due to a fire alarm. It went off right as A51 was being attacked and nobody moved because we all thought the alarm was part of the scene. It wasn't until they stopped the movie and turned on the lights that we realized it was an actual alarm.

Yeah fireworks are fun but it's just a 1 night thing. Maybe a couple times in your life you might travel for Independence Day to go to DC or something, but very rare. Thanksgiving travel is omnipresent, and worse than the holidays which are more spread out, yet people do it anyway.. If you're not from a Christian background obviously Christmas isn't too relevant - I'd say that's the one that depends more on family. In my family Christmas was on par with Thanksgiving for awhile, but as presents became less important with the kids grown up, Thanksgiving felt more relevant. We also tended to have more big events at Thanksgiving by doing dinner with family friends, but not so much at Christmas.

I love how you guys laughed at all the good jokes and loved the movie immediately on first viewing. I felt the same way in 1996, I left the theater thinking it was one of the best sci-fi movies of the last twenty years. Over the years my opinion hasn't changed; it's the best sci-fi movie of the 1990s. 3:17 FYI: That's Dean Devlin, one of the writers of the film. 10:08 Per Google Maps - from Manhattan to the White House is 3 hours 48 minutes. But in my experience, that's a little low; it's probably more like 4.5 to 5 hours. 10:32 FYI: That's Harry Connick Jr. 12:22 Per Louie De Palma (of Taxi, Judd Hirsch's great 70s-80s TV show): A shlameel is a guy who goes to a formal dinner party and spills his soup. A shlemozel's the guy he spills it on. 14:47 That's a line from the sequel, Independence Day Resurgence; you obviously saw the trailers for that one, even if you haven't seen the movie. 19:03 "And what the hell is that smell!?" was unscripted. The salt flats in Utah where they filmed the scene have brine shrimp that die and stink somethin' awful, and nobody had warned Will Smith about it in advance. 19:41 I saw this movie in the theater in 1996 (and I remember the TREMENDOUS response, everybody LOVED it!), but I never heard anyone mention that idea, that the invasions might be a response to us capturing one of theirs at Roswell. That could have made for a very interesting film. 22:20 Trivia: There were two completely different alien designs created by the art department, and Roland Emerich loved them both, so the script was changed to make one design the aliens, and the other design was the "biometric suits" that they wore. 25:47 Yup, most people in the theater in 1996 assumed that bio weapons would be the answer, since that was how the aliens were defeated in War of the Worlds - they had no resistance to Earthly bacterial and viral diseases. 28:31 That speech was considered highly inspiring in 1996, but over the years people have gradually moved more and more to the opinion that it was cheesey, insipid, contrived, and stupid. Personally, I love the speech and think it was inspiring and maybe even just a touch realistic. 29:59 Maybe their telepathy only works at short ranges. They use radio signals to coordinate their attack, so telepathy can't do everything for them. 34:58 FYI - There are no more Will Smith/Jeff Goldblum movies. But I wish there were. 36:04 They built huge models of the major city streets and landmarks in NYC, LA, and DC, and blew them up for the scenes. But they augmented those scenes with CGI. 36:34 Yup, there's a sequel. Don't waste your time.

Area 51 is real. It is the area around Groom Lake which has been (and probably continues to be) used for developing secret aircraft such as the A-12, the SR-71, the U2 and the B2. There are daily unlisted commutrer flights there from Las Vegas. Some people think it is also used for examining crashed flying saucers and developing technology based on them. It seems the USAF has historically encouraged these rumours, possibly to help obfuscate their real work. If you look at the straight-on front and side views of a B2 you can see why someone might think it was saucer-shaped...

Independence Day. I saw it in the theaters in 1996. I was born on the 4th of July, and since the movie came out it has been my tradition to watch it. I love this movie. It's one of the purest examples of a summer blockbuster. A "popcorn" movie through and through. Great effects that still hold up, great music, great cast. Everything is great. Not a dull moment. Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman just kick ass and fit their roles like well worn baseball gloves. 26:42 One thing I have to say here because this is usually at the root of everyone's criticism of this movie. It's more plausible that we would be able to inflict a computer virus on an alien race than an actual virus. The reason diseases on Earth affect human beings is because we evolved along side them. They have evolved specifically to work with our bodies. This is also why certain diseases you find in animals either don't harm humans or inflict themselves on us different than they do on other species. This is also why, for example, when Spanish and European settlers came to the United States diseases like smallpox were so devastating on the American Indian tribes. An alien species from another part of the galaxy is going to suffer no effect from that at all. You'd need their genetic code and some major pharma power in order to create something like that. The aliens in this movie hijacked our satellites and used them to coordinate their attacks. People always make this mistake and think David hacked alien technology. He didn't. He hacked the aliens signal which as visually depicted is some kind of a data stream constantly being refreshed. All of their ships are networked under that signal which is compatible with our technology. Likely it's in some form of binary or basic machine language that could be universally understood... Which also means it would be universally vulnerable to disruption if you knew what to look for. David figured it out. All i'm going to say, if you haven't watched it yet, Men in Black. You guys have to watch the original Men in Black. Also, you guys really shouild watch some Star Trek on here. Wrath of Khan especially.

Independence Day is traditionally more of a celebratory, party atmosphere. You barbecue, have some beers, and then go watch fireworks or set them off yourself (depending on local laws & how much you respect them). Thanksgiving is traditionally a family-oriented holiday, where you wear your least comfortable clothes then drive long distances so you can eat a huge meal with a bunch of relatives you don't really want to see. Also there's football and a few big parades. So in essence, they're both big deals but for different reasons. I think most Americans look forward to Independence Day more.

CG FX were used for most of the background fighter jet action in the aerial battles (using early crowd simulation software), but most of the vehicles and all the explosions and stuff were real models and bangbangs. Very few matte paintings were used though, as the director much preferred miniature backgrounds to painted ones. So much fun!

The most plausible explanation for Area 51 (the real life version) is that it is (possibly) a testing site for prototype USAF aircraft. If you take a look at some of the current and past USAF inventory, planes like the B2 Spirit (which features a fairly unique flying wing shape) and the SR-71 Blackbird (which as of 2021 still holds the record for fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, a record it has held since 1976) you can understand why UFO sightings around Area 51 became a thing. A popular theory is that the Air Force purposely encouraged alien theories to distract the public while simultaneously discrediting any serious observer as a crazy loon obsessed with UFOs. Given how popular it has become I don't find it likely that the Air Force still tests highly sensitive equipment there, although it is still heavily guarded. As in, the guards can shoot you if you trespass and it would be a lawful shooting, although I'd imagine that that would go for any sensitive military base. Interestingly, supposedly defunct aircraft like the F117 Nighthawk have been spotted fairly recently flying around there. As for why, your guess is as good as mine.
@markcarpenter6020

My guess is modern testing is probably done in either Alaska or Antarctica and area 51 is kept going as a distraction. Though I do know for a fact some army testing is done in Alabama. When I was a teen I lived near where the army was testing stealth helicopters.(they never could get the thermal shielding right). And saw them sometimes. They usually flew at night right around treetop lvl when traveling to the test ranges. What was awesome was how quiet they were. A normal chopper makes a lot of noise because the rotors break the sound barrier when spinning. They stealth copter had notches in the rotors to keep them from creating a sonic boom and were whisper quiet in comparison.

That's why the F-117 has been spotted flying around there... even though they've been retired from front-line duty, they're still used as training aircraft.

I'd say that Independence Day is a more "patriotic" holiday with lots of flag-waving pride. Thanksgiving, while inherently an American holiday, is more about gathering with loved ones and celebrating togetherness. Oddly, I'd say Thanksgiving is the bigger holiday for its emphasis on tradition like large feasts with friends and family whom you may not see very often. Americans will travel great distances to spend Thanskgiving with their families. The 4th of July has a more casual feel to it for its more laid-back activities like backyard barbecues and kicking back to watch fireworks shows. For decades, conspiracies surrounded Area 51, mostly involving theories about aliens and their spacecraft being held there after crash-landing in Roswell, New Mexico. The U.S. government remained mum about these conspiracy theories. Only a couple years ago, they came out and stated that Area 51 was a top-secret facility for testing prototype military aircraft, but alien conspiracy theories still abound. Last year, there was even an semi-joking online movement to get people to gather outside Area 51, after which they'd "Naruto run" past security and infiltrate the facility to see what's inside. The U.S. government actually had to put out a statement that any effort to access the facility would be trespassing on federal property and punishable with imprisonment. Still, a good number of people appeared outside of Area 51, with even one or two of them being arrested for trying to force themselves past security.

I AM A STICK! I love the Stormlight Archive. It helps if you remember that all the ships are on the same network and they've had decades to study their operating system. Still a bit much, BUT. Better. I love seeing the inside of the ship.

You had goose bumps at the beginning of The President's speech :) That's awesome cuz it should do that. It was a great speech and I've actually had urges as I do now, to search youtube just for that scene. Well written and well delivered by Mr. Pullman

Simone, I love your heart. You got me sniffling when you got emotional about the dog being saved. ❤ Bill Pullman's speech is simply one of the best ever. I get goosebumps every time I watch this. Great reactions as always, you two!!

Amazing movie reaction! Also,.... as a friend, you need to watch Star Trek, George. At least the movies. I have faith you'll see them! Also, there was a whole scene that was removed where David learned about their systems and code and that's how he made the virus.

Both Independence Day and Thanksgiving are big but in slightly different ways. Independence Day is often celebrated within the community at large while Thanksgiving is often celebrated as a close family holiday.

Schlemiel is a Yiddish word. It kind of means like a doofus or dunce; someone who gets in their own way and isn't too bright about it.

On Parks & Rec, Ron explained it as a Schlemiel being someone that spills soup at a party, and a Schlimazel as the person that it gets spilt on. And that Jerry is both.

Re: Independence Day vs Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving is definitely a bigger day for my family, probably because it is the beginning of the Christmas season. For ID, we just grill and watch 1776 (a hilarious and educational musical, which I recommend if you're into that kind of thing). Re: Star Trek, I recommend it, especially 2-4, although sadly maybe not for reaction videos. It's almost as bad as Studio Ghibli for copyright issues. Re: Area 51, a few years *after* this movie, the US government admitted that there is an Air Force base there. They still won't say what they do there, whether it's researching alien technology or just developing new planes.

Great reaction, I like how you two gel together so well. Plus you treated this movie for what it is, an entertaining summer blockbuster ride. As George realised best not to start analysing too much any part of this movie, the plotholes and inaccuracies would only spoil this popcorn classic! Best Wishes, Ian

Independence Day is better, you hang out with friends, have a barbecue, have a couple of brews, and watch fireworks. Thanksgiving, you eat a meal with family, doing your best to tolerate Uncle John. Christmas, you are grateful that your brother has his driver's license and you don't have to ride home with your parents and listen to them complain about the presents they got.

(US citizen) - I think I'd prefer Thanksgiving due to the family time and appreciation for the blessings of the year. It's characterized by a big family meal around a football game. Independence Day is more of a long-weekend summer celebration, sometimes with a big family bar-b-q under fireworks.

From here in Southern California I'd say Thanksgiving is bigger. The whole family gets together for that. The 4th of July(aka Independence Day) means getting together with some friends in a more casual celebration. Independence Day has a different vibe though, it's more aggressive because of the patriotic aspect of it. Some people just like it for the fireworks. Independence Day is better for this movie because the US vs Aliens focus of the story fits in with the patriotic attitude. I love this movie, I consider it to be one of the best popcorn movies ever made. Pure entertainment.

My favourite comment about Independence Day was from the late great comedian Patrice O Neal when Will Smith punches out the alien he said he didn't knock out the alien, but he knocked out his outfit

That at 33:18 when Jeff Goldblum yells "must go faster, must go faster" is nod to his character from Jurrasic Park movie, when he yells same line when they are chased in car...
