Big bangs can’t conceal shoddy script
First, a question. Did you enjoy Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day, way back in 1996?
This reviewer did – loved it, in fact. A blast of old-fashioned Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) fun with, for its time, simply amazing S/FX that left you in no doubt that the world was ending not with a whimper, but rather a VERY big bang. In addition, the film’s sheer momentum and seamless progression from set-piece to set-piece allowed you to put your mind in neutral and enjoy the ride.
